Wood Fences

Why Choose Wood Fencing?

Wood fences remain the top choice for homeowners who want classic curb appeal and complete privacy. There's something warm and inviting about a natural wood fence that synthetic materials just can't match. Whether you're looking for a rustic ranch-style fence or a smooth, modern privacy fence, wood gives you design flexibility that other materials don't offer.

In Pomona, wood fences work great because you can stain or paint them to complement your home's exterior. Cedar and redwood are naturally resistant to insects and rot, making them perfect for our California climate. Pine is a budget-friendly option when treated properly. We help you choose the right wood type based on your budget, style preferences, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Popular Wood Fence Styles

Here are the wood fence styles we install most often in Pomona:

• Privacy fences: Solid board-on-board or tongue-and-groove designs that block views completely.
• Picket fences: Classic white pickets with pointed or rounded tops, perfect for front yards.
• Horizontal fences: Modern look with horizontal slats, great for contemporary homes.
• Split rail fences: Rustic, open design ideal for large properties and ranch-style homes.
• Shadowbox fences: Alternating boards on both sides for partial privacy with better airflow.
• Lattice-top fences: Privacy fence with decorative lattice panels on top for added height and style.

Wood Types We Recommend

Not all wood performs the same. Cedar is our top recommendation for most Pomona homeowners because it naturally resists decay and insects without chemical treatment. It weathers to a beautiful silver-gray or can be stained to maintain its original color. Redwood offers similar benefits with a distinctive reddish tone that many homeowners love.

Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable option and works well when you plan to paint or stain the fence. The chemical treatment protects against rot and insects, though it requires more maintenance over time. We source all our lumber from trusted suppliers and inspect every board before installation to ensure you get straight, quality materials.

Many of our customers who choose wood fencing also appreciate our commitment to quality craftsmanship in every project. We take pride in delivering fences that last and look great for years.

Installation and Maintenance

We build wood fences the right way, with posts set in concrete below the frost line and properly spaced rails to prevent sagging. Every post is checked for plumb, and we use galvanized or stainless steel hardware that won't rust or stain the wood. Gates get extra reinforcement with diagonal bracing to prevent sagging over time.

Wood fences do need some care to look their best. You'll want to clean and reseal or restain your fence every 2-3 years to protect it from moisture and sun damage. This is easier than it sounds and most homeowners can do it themselves over a weekend. We provide maintenance tips with every installation and can also handle upkeep for you if you prefer.
