Different wood species offer different levels of natural durability. Cedar and pressure-treated pine are both common choices in this region, with cedar offering natural resistance to rot and insects, and pressure-treated pine offering a more budget-friendly option with chemical treatment providing similar protection. Both hold up well in Kentucky's climate when properly maintained.

Wood fencing works well for privacy fences, traditional picket fences, and post-and-rail style fencing for larger properties. It can be customized more easily than most other materials, since boards can be cut, spaced, and styled in a variety of configurations depending on what you're going for.

Wood fence cost depends on the type of wood, the style of fence, and the linear footage being installed. Pressure-treated pine is generally the most affordable option, while cedar and other higher-grade woods cost more upfront but often require less maintenance over time to achieve the same lifespan.

We install wood fencing with attention to proper post setting and spacing, since a wood fence that isn't installed correctly will show problems, sagging, warping, uneven gaps, much sooner than one that's installed with care. We also talk through maintenance expectations with every customer upfront, so there aren't surprises about what ongoing care the fence will need.

If you like the look of a traditional wood fence and don't mind the maintenance that comes with it, it remains one of the most attractive options available. Contact us for an estimate and we'll talk through wood species and style options suited to your property.
