Why Choose Wood Fencing
Wood has been the go-to fencing material for generations, and for good reason. It offers a warm, natural appearance that complements any home style, from traditional to modern. Wood fences blend beautifully with landscaping and can be customized to match your exact vision for your property.
When you choose professional wood fence installation in Bristol, TN, you get a fence that adds real value to your home. Wood fences provide excellent privacy, define property boundaries clearly, and create a safe space for children and pets. They also offer great flexibility in design, allowing you to choose from many styles and heights.
The upfront cost of wood fencing is typically lower than premium vinyl or aluminum options, making it an affordable choice for many homeowners. With proper maintenance, a quality wood fence can last 15 to 20 years or even longer. The ability to stain or paint wood fences also means you can update the look over time without replacing the entire fence.

We install several popular wood fence styles to suit different needs and preferences. Each style has its own character and practical advantages. Here are the most common options we build for homeowners in Bristol.
Popular Wood Fence Styles

We also work with different wood types including cedar, pine, and redwood. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, making it a popular premium choice. Pressure-treated pine offers excellent durability at a lower cost. During your consultation, we will discuss the pros and cons of each wood type and style so you can make the best choice for your needs and budget.
Caring for Your Wood Fence
Wood fences do require some maintenance to keep them looking their best and lasting as long as possible. The good news is that basic wood fence care is straightforward and does not require special skills or expensive tools.
Regular Maintenance Tips
Clean your fence once or twice a year with a garden hose or pressure washer on a low setting. This removes dirt, mold, and mildew that can cause staining and deterioration. Inspect your fence regularly for any loose boards, protruding nails, or signs of damage. Catching small problems early prevents bigger repairs later.
Staining and Sealing
Apply stain or sealant every two to three years to protect the wood from moisture and UV damage. This step significantly extends the life of your fence and keeps it looking attractive. You can choose from clear sealants that show the natural wood grain or colored stains that add visual interest. If you prefer, we offer fence maintenance services to handle this work for you.
Keep vegetation trimmed back from your fence to allow air circulation. Plants growing against the fence trap moisture and can lead to rot. If you notice any damaged boards or posts, repair them promptly to prevent the problem from spreading. We are always available to help with repairs when you need them.
