Wood Fences

Wood fences have been a favorite for homeowners for decades, and for good reason. They offer a classic, natural look that fits any property style, from traditional to modern. Wood is versatile, affordable, and easy to customize. Whether you want a tall privacy fence, a decorative picket fence, or a rustic split-rail design, wood can do it all.

At Precision Mesquite Fencing, we specialize in wood fence installation throughout Mesquite, Nevada. We work with high-quality materials like cedar, pine, and redwood to create fences that are both beautiful and built to last. Wood fences also give you the flexibility to stain or paint them in any color you want, so you can match your home or landscape perfectly. If you are looking for a fence that combines natural beauty with solid performance, wood is an excellent choice.

Wood fencing comes in many styles, each with its own unique benefits. Here are the most popular options we install for homeowners in Mesquite.

Popular Wood Fence Styles:

• Privacy Fences: Tall, solid panels with no gaps between boards. Perfect for creating a secluded backyard space where you can relax without neighbors seeing in.
• Picket Fences: Classic white picket fences or stained wood pickets. Great for front yards and decorative borders. They add curb appeal without blocking the view.
• Horizontal Slat Fences: Modern and stylish, with boards running horizontally instead of vertically. This contemporary design is popular with homeowners who want a sleek, updated look.
• Shadowbox Fences: Boards on both sides of the rails, creating a fence that looks good from either side. Provides privacy while allowing some airflow.
• Split-Rail Fences: Rustic and open, often used for large properties or rural settings. These fences define boundaries without creating a closed-in feeling.
• Lattice Top Fences: Solid lower panels with decorative lattice on top. Adds visual interest and a touch of elegance to any yard.

No matter which style you choose, we use quality wood and proper installation techniques to ensure your fence stands up to the Nevada climate. If you are interested in other materials, we also offer vinyl fences and aluminum fences for homeowners who want low-maintenance options.

Not all wood is created equal. The type of wood you choose will affect the look, lifespan, and maintenance requirements of your fence. Here are the most common wood types we recommend for fencing projects in Mesquite.

Cedar

Cedar is one of the best choices for wood fencing. It naturally resists rot, decay, and insect damage, which means it lasts longer than many other wood types. Cedar also has a beautiful grain and a pleasant aroma. It can be left natural to weather to a silvery gray, or it can be stained to maintain its rich color. Cedar fences typically last 15 to 20 years with proper care.

Pine

Pressure-treated pine is an affordable and durable option. The treatment process infuses the wood with chemicals that protect against rot and insects. Pine is readily available and easy to work with, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners. With regular maintenance like staining or sealing, a pine fence can last 10 to 15 years.

Redwood

Redwood is a premium wood known for its rich color, strength, and natural resistance to decay. It is more expensive than cedar or pine, but it offers exceptional durability and beauty. Redwood fences can last 20 to 30 years or more with proper maintenance. If you want a high-end wood fence that will stand the test of time, redwood is worth the investment.

Maintaining Your Wood Fence

Wood fences require some maintenance to keep them looking great and lasting as long as possible. We recommend cleaning your fence annually, checking for loose boards or nails, and applying a fresh coat of stain or sealant every few years. Keeping vegetation trimmed away from the fence and ensuring good drainage around the posts will also help prevent rot. With proper care, your wood fence will provide years of beauty and functionality.
