Wood Fences

Wood fences have been the go-to choice for homeowners for generations, and for good reason. They offer a timeless look that complements almost any architectural style. Whether your home is traditional, modern, or somewhere in between, a wood fence adds natural beauty and warmth that other materials just cannot match. At Ivins Fencing Expert, we specialize in building wood fences that enhance your property while providing the privacy and security you need.

One of the biggest advantages of wood fencing is versatility. You can choose from dozens of styles, heights, and finishes. Want a tall privacy fence? We can build that. Prefer a decorative picket fence? We do that too. Wood can be stained, painted, or left natural to age gracefully. You have complete control over the final look, which means you can create a fence that truly reflects your personal style.

Wood is also a strong, durable material when properly installed and maintained. A well-built wood fence can last 15 to 20 years or more, especially when treated and maintained regularly. We use quality lumber and proven construction methods to ensure your fence holds up through every season. Regular staining or sealing helps protect the wood from moisture and sun damage, keeping it looking great for years.

Choosing the right style depends on your goals. Are you looking for privacy, security, or curb appeal? Maybe all three. Here are some of the most popular wood fence styles we install:

• Privacy fences with solid panels for complete seclusion
• Picket fences for a classic, welcoming look
• Horizontal slat fences for a modern, contemporary feel
• Board-on-board fences for style and airflow
• Shadowbox fences that look great from both sides
• Custom designs tailored to your specific vision

Each style has its own benefits. Privacy fences are ideal if you want to block views and create a quiet outdoor space. Picket fences work well for defining boundaries without feeling closed off. Horizontal fences give your property a sleek, modern edge. We help you choose the style that fits your needs and complements your home.

We also offer different wood species depending on your budget and maintenance preferences. Cedar and redwood are naturally resistant to rot and insects, making them excellent long-term choices. Pressure-treated pine is a cost-effective option that still provides good durability when properly maintained. We discuss your options during the consultation so you understand the differences and can make the best choice for your situation.

Wood fences do require maintenance to stay in top shape, but the effort is worth it. Regular maintenance keeps your fence looking beautiful and extends its lifespan. The most important step is applying a protective stain or sealant every few years. This protects the wood from moisture, UV damage, and rot. We can recommend products that work well in the Ivins climate.

You should also inspect your fence periodically for loose boards, nails, or signs of damage. Catching small problems early makes repairs easier and less expensive. Keep vegetation trimmed back from the fence to promote airflow and prevent moisture buildup. If you notice boards starting to warp or rot, replacing them promptly prevents the problem from spreading. Our fence repair services can handle any maintenance issues that come up.

If you prefer a lower-maintenance option, you might want to consider vinyl fences instead. Vinyl requires no staining or painting and holds up well with minimal upkeep. However, many homeowners love the natural look of wood and do not mind the occasional maintenance. The choice depends on your priorities and how much time you want to spend on upkeep.
