Wood Fences

Why Choose a Wood Fence?

There's something timeless about a wood fence. It brings natural beauty to your yard, blends perfectly with landscaping, and offers the kind of classic look that never goes out of style. Wood fencing works for any home, from historic properties to brand-new construction.

Beyond looks, wood fences deliver real privacy and security. A solid wood privacy fence creates a true barrier between your yard and the outside world. You get a quiet, private space for family gatherings, kids playing, or just relaxing with a book. Wood also provides excellent noise reduction if you live near busy streets.

Wood Fence Styles We Build

We build custom wood fences in styles to match your home's character and your functional needs. Here's what Mankato homeowners love most:

Popular Wood Fence Options:

• Privacy fences with solid boards for maximum seclusion
• Picket fences for that charming, traditional front yard look
• Shadowbox fences with alternating boards for style and privacy
• Horizontal board fences for a modern, contemporary feel
• Split rail fences for open, rustic property boundaries
• Custom designs to match your unique vision

We work with quality cedar, pine, and pressure-treated lumber. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects, making it a smart investment. Pressure-treated pine offers excellent durability at a lower cost. We'll help you choose the right wood species for your budget and how you plan to use the fence.

Maintaining Your Wood Fence

Let's be honest: wood fences need some care to look their best and last for years. But the maintenance isn't complicated, and many homeowners find it worth the effort for the beauty wood provides.

We recommend staining or sealing your wood fence every two to three years. This protects the wood from moisture, prevents warping and cracking, and keeps the color looking fresh. Some homeowners prefer letting cedar weather naturally to a silver-gray patina. That works too, though sealing still helps extend the fence's life.

Regular maintenance means your wood fence can last 15 to 20 years or more. We provide guidance on care when we install your fence, and we're always available to answer questions. If you prefer professional maintenance, we offer staining and sealing services to keep your fence looking great year after year.

Professional Installation Makes the Difference

The quality of installation determines how long your wood fence lasts and how good it looks. We've seen plenty of DIY and bargain-contractor fences that fail within a few years. Poor installation leads to leaning posts, rotting wood, and sagging gates.

Our team properly sets posts in concrete below the frost line, uses the right hardware for Minnesota weather, and ensures every board is level and secure. We offer comprehensive professional fence installation in Mankato with attention to details that matter. When damage does occur, our fence repair services get your wood fence back in shape quickly.
