Why Wood

Natural Beauty. Real Versatility.

Wood remains one of the most popular fencing choices because it combines natural beauty with versatility and affordability. It can be built in a range of styles — from a classic picket to a tall privacy fence — and customized to fit your property. Installed properly, a wood fence adds security, curb appeal and lasting value to homes throughout Roanoke, Salem and Botetourt.

Built To Last

Natural Beauty.
Steel Backbone.

Every wood fence can be built with traditional wood posts — but we recommend galvanized steel posts from MasterHalco for the best long-term durability.

Unlike wood set in the ground, steel posts won't rot, shift or lean over time. It's a stronger foundation under the same fence you already love the look of.

  • Won't rot, shift or heave with frost
  • Driven in — faster, cleaner install
  • Same natural wood look on top

How It Works

Our Installation Process

Seven steps, the same way every time — so your fence goes in right the first time.

1

Site Walk & Layout

We confirm property lines, gate placement and grade changes before anything is marked.

2

Post Hole Digging

Holes dug at least 30″ deep, deeper for fences over 6ft, spaced for long-term stability.

3

Steel Post Option

Optional galvanized steel posts driven straight into the ground for a faster, frost-resistant install.

4

Setting & Curing

Posts are plumbed, aligned and braced while concrete sets and properly cures.

5

Rails & Framing

Horizontal rails go in with exterior-grade fasteners, following your yard's natural grade.

6

Picket Installation

Boards hung individually with a drainage gap at the base for a clean, uniform finish.

7

Gates & Walkthrough

Anti-sag hardware, full site cleanup, and a walkthrough with you before we call it done.

Questions

Wood Fencing FAQ

At least 30 inches for a standard fence, and deeper for anything taller than 6 feet. Depth and spacing are planned during the site walk based on your soil and grade.

Both work. We can install traditional wood posts, but we recommend galvanized steel posts from MasterHalco — they won't rot or shift over time, while the fence above ground still looks and feels like a normal wood fence.
