Why a wood fence
Your Backyard. Finally Yours.
A cedar wood fence gives you privacy, security, and natural curb appeal no other material can match. It's the most popular backyard fence in the Chicago suburbs for a reason.
Total Privacy
Tight-fitting cedar boards block sightlines, so your yard feels like a private retreat instead of a stage for the neighbors.
Keeps Kids & Dogs In
A tall, sturdy wood fence means you can open the back door and relax.
Natural Warmth
Nothing matches the look of real wood. A cedar wood fence adds instant curb appeal and value to your home.
Built for Midwest Winters
We set every wood fence on heavy-grade 5x5 posts, so it holds its line through freeze-thaw seasons.

FAQ
Wood Fence Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a wood fence?
Most towns in Will, DuPage, Kendall, and Kane counties require a permit for a new wood fence, and many HOAs have their own rules on height, style, and stain color. We pull the permit and help prepare your HOA submission as part of every wood fence project.
How tall can my wood privacy fence be?
In most suburbs, a backyard wood privacy fence can be up to 6 feet tall, with lower limits for front yards and corner lots. Rules vary by village, so we confirm your town's code before we build.
How long does wood fence installation take?
Once permits are approved, most residential wood fence installs are finished in a single day. Larger yards or complex layouts may take a second day.
Do you locate utilities before digging?
Yes. We contact JULIE, Illinois' 811 service, to mark underground utilities before we dig a single post hole for your wood fence.
Why do you use cedar for wood fences?
Cedar naturally resists rot and insects, stays straighter than many other woods, and weathers to a soft silver-gray if you leave it unstained. It's the best all-around wood for a Midwest fence.
How long does a cedar wood fence last?
With basic care, many cedar wood fences last 15 to 20 years or more. Heavy-grade posts and proper installation make the biggest difference.
Do I need to stain or seal my wood fence?
It's optional. Leaving cedar natural gives a classic weathered look. Sealing or staining every few years keeps the original color longer. Your specialist can walk you through both.
Is the wood fence estimate really free?
Yes. Your in-home wood fence estimate is 100% free, takes about 45 minutes, and comes with a written price. No obligation.
