Wood Fences

Wood fencing has been a favorite choice for homeowners for generations, and for good reason. Nothing matches the natural warmth and character of real wood. Whether you want a traditional picket fence to frame your front yard or a tall privacy fence to create a secluded backyard retreat, wood offers the versatility and beauty to make it happen.

At Greeneville Fencing Professional, we specialize in building high-quality wood fences that enhance your property and stand the test of time. We work with premium lumber, including cedar, pine, and pressure-treated wood, and we offer a wide range of styles to match your home's architecture and your personal taste. From classic white picket to rustic split rail to modern horizontal slat designs, we can bring your vision to life.

Wood fences also offer practical benefits beyond their appearance. They provide excellent privacy and noise reduction, making your outdoor space more peaceful and enjoyable. They define property boundaries clearly and can increase your home's curb appeal and resale value. With proper installation and maintenance, a wood fence can last for decades, making it a smart investment in your property.

We offer a variety of wood fence styles to suit different needs and preferences. Each style has its own unique look and function, and we can customize designs to match your specific requirements.

Popular Wood Fence Styles

• Privacy Fences: Tall, solid wood panels that block views and create a private outdoor space. Ideal for backyards, pools, and properties close to neighbors. We typically build privacy fences six to eight feet tall using tongue-and-groove or overlapping boards.
• Picket Fences: Classic fences with evenly spaced vertical boards, perfect for front yards and decorative borders. Picket fences can be painted, stained, or left natural, and we offer various picket styles including pointed, flat-top, and scalloped designs.
• Split Rail Fences: Rustic fences made from horizontal rails and vertical posts, ideal for large properties, farms, and rural settings. Split rail fences define boundaries without blocking views and require minimal maintenance.
• Shadowbox Fences: These fences feature boards alternating on both sides of the rails, creating a semi-private fence that looks attractive from both sides. Shadowbox fences allow some air and light through while still providing good privacy.
• Horizontal Slat Fences: Modern fences with horizontal boards that create a clean, contemporary look. These fences work well with modern architecture and can be spaced for partial privacy or built solid for complete seclusion.
• Board-on-Board Fences: Similar to privacy fences but with overlapping vertical boards on one side, creating depth and visual interest. These fences provide excellent privacy while allowing some airflow.

Not sure which style is right for you? We can show you examples, discuss the pros and cons of each option, and help you choose a design that fits your property and budget. We also handle custom designs if you have a specific vision in mind.

The type of wood you choose affects the look, durability, and maintenance requirements of your fence. We work with several high-quality wood species, each with its own characteristics and benefits.

Cedar

Cedar is a premium choice for wood fencing. It naturally resists rot, decay, and insect damage thanks to oils in the wood. Cedar has a beautiful reddish-brown color and a pleasant aroma. It can be left natural to weather to a silvery gray or stained to maintain its original color. While cedar costs more upfront, its natural durability means less maintenance and a longer lifespan compared to other woods.

Pressure-Treated Pine

Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable and widely used fencing material. The wood is treated with preservatives to resist rot, decay, and termites. It is strong, readily available, and can be painted or stained in any color. With proper maintenance, pressure-treated pine fences can last 15 to 20 years or more. This is an excellent choice if you want a durable fence without the higher cost of cedar.

Finishing Options

Once your fence is installed, you have several options for finishing and protecting it. You can paint your fence for a classic look, stain it to enhance the natural wood grain, or apply a clear sealant to protect against moisture while letting the wood age naturally. We can recommend the best finish for your specific fence and climate conditions in Greeneville. If you prefer a low-maintenance approach, you might also consider vinyl fencing instead.
