Wood Privacy Fences

Cedar, pine, and treated lumber. Built tight, finished clean.

Overview

A clear look at wood privacy fences.

What it is

Solid-board wood privacy fence, typically 6 ft tall with no gaps between pickets. Cedar, treated pine, or spruce on pressure-treated posts.

Where it's used

Backyards in residential neighborhoods across Morton, Pekin, Washington, and East Peoria — wherever homeowners want a true visual barrier.

Why homeowners pick it

Homeowners pick wood when they want full privacy, a warm natural look, and a fence that's easy to repair board-by-board down the road.

Note on pricing: Most of our customers only fence the backyard, so the pricing examples on this page are for a standard suburban Tazewell County backyard install (~150 linear feet, three sides).
