Wood Fences

Why Choose Wood Fencing

There's something special about a wood fence. It brings natural warmth to your yard that you just can't get with other materials. Wood fencing has been the go-to choice for Morgan Hill homeowners for decades, and for good reason. It's versatile, beautiful, and can be customized to match any home style from traditional ranch to modern contemporary.

Your wood fence in Morgan Hill will last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, providing excellent value for your investment. Plus, wood is a renewable resource, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Whether you want a classic picket fence for your front yard or a tall privacy fence for your backyard, wood can do it all.

Wood Fence Styles and Options

We install several popular wood fence styles to fit your needs:

• Privacy fences with no gaps for complete backyard seclusion
• Horizontal board fences for a modern, contemporary look
• Picket fences perfect for front yards and gardens
• Split rail fences for open, rustic appeal
• Shadowbox fences that look good from both sides
• Custom designs to match your specific vision

For the wood itself, we primarily work with cedar and pressure-treated pine. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects while offering a beautiful grain pattern. Pressure-treated pine is more budget-friendly and extremely durable when properly maintained. Both options work great in our California climate.

Caring for Your Wood Fence

Simple Maintenance for Long Life

Wood fences need a bit of care to stay looking their best. Here's what matters most: Keep plants and sprinklers away from direct contact with your fence. Standing moisture is wood's enemy. Once a year, give your fence a good cleaning with a garden hose and mild soap. Every 2-3 years, apply a quality stain or sealant to protect the wood from sun and moisture damage.

Many of our customers do this maintenance themselves, but we also offer staining services if you'd prefer to leave it to the pros. Regular care keeps your fence looking beautiful and extends its life significantly.

Wood vs. Other Materials

Wondering if wood is right for you? Compare it to vinyl fencing options, which requires less maintenance, or check out aluminum fencing for decorative applications. Each material has its place, and we'll help you choose what works best for your property and budget.
