Cedar privacy fences built for North Texas yards.
Wood is the core of what Superior Exterior Fencing builds. The owner and his team handle wood fence installation in every type of wood a job calls for, cedar most often, with pine as a lower-cost option. Each fence is laid out for your property instead of pulled from a stock pattern.
If you are comparing a wood fence company near you, the questions worth asking are simple. Who builds it, what goes in the ground, and what will the finished line look like from your patio? We work out of Keller and install in Keller, Watauga, North Richland Hills, Southlake, Westlake and Roanoke, so the person who walks your fence line is close by when you have a question.
Pick the build that fits how you use the yard.
Board on board
Boards overlap so there are no gaps, even as the wood dries and shifts. Choose this style when privacy matters most, such as a yard that backs to a busy road or holds a pool.
Side by side
Pickets sit next to each other on one face of the rails. It is the familiar privacy fence and it uses less material than board on board. Wood shrinks as it dries, so small gaps can open over time.
Shadowbox and stockade
Shadowbox alternates boards on both sides of the rails so it looks finished from either direction and lets air through. Stockade is a tight vertical picket for a plain, practical line.
Cedar, pine, and pre-stained wood fences.
Cedar is the wood most people picture when they think of a privacy fence. It resists rot and insects better than most lumber, stays straight, and weathers to a soft silver-gray if you leave it natural. Pine usually costs less up front, and how long it lasts depends on how it is treated and how well it is maintained.
Pre-stained fencing is available if you want color from day one. New boards often need time to dry before a stain soaks in evenly, so pre-stained wood saves you that wait and gets the fence looking finished right away.
What to compare between quotes
- Wood type and board thickness
- Height and total linear footage
- How posts are set and how far apart
- Number of gates and the hardware on them
- Removal of the old fence, if there is one
- Stain or seal, and who does it
From fence line walk to final cleanup.
Walk the fence line
We walk the line with you, note slopes, trees and gate locations, and agree on wood, style and height.
Confirm the details
Property lines, HOA rules and any city permit are checked before digging starts, and underground utilities are marked.
Set the posts
Posts carry the whole fence, so spacing and depth matter more than anything else. A well-set post keeps the line straight through wind and wet seasons.
Rails, boards and gates
Rails go up, then boards, then gates are hung and adjusted so they swing and latch cleanly.
Final walk-through
We walk the finished fence with you, close out touch-ups, and leave the site clean.
What North Texas does to a wood fence.
Spring storms put real wind load on a solid privacy fence, and many yards here sit on clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Both are reasons posts and rails should be built with care. Sun bleaches unprotected boards, and sprinkler heads that spray the fence every morning shorten its life.
A little upkeep goes a long way: keep sprinklers off the boards, trim back vines, and re-seal or re-stain on a regular schedule. If you are weighing a repair against a new fence, our guide to fence replacement covers the warning signs. For pricing factors, read about fence installation cost, or see recent builds in our project gallery.
Wood also pairs well with other work. You can add a driveway gate to a wood fence line, use wrought iron fences for the front of the property, or put a chain link fence around a dog run. For a price on any of it, contact us or visit our pricing page.
