Why Cedar Is Houston's Premium Fence Choice
Natural Rot & Insect Resistance
Western red cedar contains natural oils that repel moisture, fungal decay, and wood-boring insects — without chemical treatment. It outperforms pine in Houston's humid subtropical climate year after year.
Premium Appearance
Cedar's fine, straight grain and warm reddish tone age gracefully. With regular staining it stays rich and uniform. Left unfinished, it weathers to a distinguished silver-grey.
Dimensional Stability
Cedar expands and contracts less than pine through Houston's wet-dry cycles, meaning fewer warped pickets, fewer split rails, and a fence that stays square longer.
Grades & Customization
#1 clear cedar has minimal knots and is used for premium visible surfaces. #2 is a cost-effective alternative. Dog-ear, flat-top, and spaced-picket profiles are all available.
How Our Cedar Fence Installation Process Works in Houston
Grade & Profile Selection
Choose #1 vs. #2 pickets, dog-ear vs. flat-top profile, and board thickness. Your contractor shows samples and advises on the grade that fits your budget and HOA.
Post Planning
Cedar or galvanized steel posts are sized and spaced for your fence height, yard grade, and local wind load requirements.
Installation
Posts set in concrete, rails leveled, pickets fastened. Hidden fastener systems are available for a clean, nail-free face.
Stain & Seal
A penetrating oil stain is applied on-site or scheduled for after the wood has dried and settled (typically 30–60 days on new cedar).
