Wood Fence Installation Process

Our wood fencing installation process is designed to deliver a fence that is both beautiful and built to last. We begin with a careful site evaluation, measuring property lines and assessing soil conditions to ensure accurate placement and stability. Next, our team sets posts at the proper depth with high-quality concrete footings, guaranteeing long-term strength even in Northern California’s shifting soils. Panels are then installed with precision to create straight, even lines that maximize both privacy and curb appeal. Finally, we complete the project with finishing touches such as sealing, staining, or hardware adjustments, leaving you with a fence that enhances your property while standing strong against weather, time, and daily use.

Benefits of Wood Fencing

Wood fencing offers unmatched durability and timeless beauty for Northern California homes. At Horizon, we use only the highest-quality redwood, chosen for its natural resistance to decay, insects, and harsh weather. This ensures long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep. With its rich, warm tones and classic style, a redwood fence not only enhances your property’s privacy and security but also adds lasting value and curb appeal.

Privacy and Security with Redwood

Tall, tightly built redwood panels block unwanted views, creating a secure barrier between your property and the outside world. This added layer of privacy helps you enjoy your backyard without intrusion while keeping children and pets safely contained. By combining beauty with practicality, redwood fencing offers peace of mind and a safe, enjoyable outdoor living space.

Property Value and Curb Appeal

Installing a custom redwood fence is a proven way to boost your home’s curb appeal and overall market value. Potential buyers see the combination of natural beauty, durability, and craftsmanship as a premium feature, which can support higher resale value. A well-maintained redwood fence not only frames your landscape beautifully but also makes your property stand out in the neighborhood.

Redwood Fence Maintenance

Redwood is naturally resilient, but simple upkeep will ensure it looks its best for decades. Routine care such as occasional cleaning, minor repairs, and re-fastening hardware helps maintain both appearance and structural integrity. With consistent attention, a redwood fence will continue performing at a high level while saving you on costly long-term replacements.

Sealing and Staining for Protection

To extend the lifespan of your fence, applying a quality sealant or stain every few years is essential. This protective barrier locks in the wood’s natural color, reduces fading, and guards against UV rays, moisture, and rot. Choosing the right finish also allows you to customize the look of your fence, from natural tones to richer, modern shades.

Seasonal Care Tips

Seasonal upkeep plays a key role in preserving the performance of your redwood fence. Rinse off dirt and debris after storms, trim vegetation away from boards, and inspect hardware annually to prevent premature wear. Small, proactive steps throughout the year can make a big difference, keeping your fence strong, attractive, and dependable across every season.
