Wood Privacy Fence that suits Tremont properties.
Wood privacy is the most-requested fence in Tremont, and for good reason: it's the fastest way to turn an open backyard into a usable outdoor room. Homeowners with room to work, plus hobby-farm properties just outside the village limits. A 6-ft solid-board cedar or treated-pine fence blocks sight lines from the neighbors, cuts wind across the patio, and can be stained to match a house instead of fighting it. Deep, flat residential lots that transition straight into farm ground at the edge of town.
How we build it here
We build Tremont wood fence on pressure-treated 4x4 or 6x6 posts set 42 inches deep in concrete — below the Central Illinois frost line so the line stays true through freeze-thaw. Excellent black dirt for the first few feet, tight clay underneath — easy augering, solid post grip. Rails are double or triple depending on height, pickets are dog-eared, flat-top, or shadowbox, and every gate gets a diagonal brace or a steel frame so it never sags.
Most residential wood privacy jobs are installed in one to two days once materials are staged.

What Tremont customers say.
“We needed a long stretch of affordable fencing for our pasture. They helped us compare T-posts, wood posts, and different wire options before we made a decision. We appreciated that they focused on durability without pushing us toward the most expensive option.”
“A section of our fence was damaged during these storms, and Tazewell County Fence Co. was able to repair it without trying to sell us an entirely new fence. The repaired section blends in well with the rest of the fence, and the price was fair.”
“We wanted more privacy around our patio and received several options that worked with our property. The estimate was detailed and easy to understand. Our new vinyl fence completely changed the backyard and feels very sturdy.”
Wood Privacy Fence questions from Tremont homeowners.
- How much does a wood privacy fence cost in Tremont, IL?
- In Tremont, installed wood privacy fence typically runs $28–$45 per linear foot, so a standard 150-ft backyard usually lands between $4,200 and $6,750. Gates, tear-out of an old fence, and slope work move the number. We give a flat per-foot price after an on-site measure.
- Do I need a permit for a wood fence in Tremont?
- Tremont is straightforward: village sign-off, standard rear-yard setbacks, no survey drama on most lots.
- How long will a wood fence last in Tremont?
- Treated pine set to frost depth commonly runs 15–20 years here, and cedar 20–25 with periodic staining. The failure point is almost always the post, not the pickets — which is why we set every post at 42 inches instead of the 24–30 inches a lot of crews get away with.
- Can you build wood fence on a sloped Tremont yard?
- Yes. Deep, flat residential lots that transition straight into farm ground at the edge of town. We'll walk the line with you and decide between stepped panels (level sections with a stair-step top) and racked panels (the fence follows the grade). Racking looks cleaner on gentle slopes; stepping is better on sharp grade changes.
