Our Wood Fence Installation Process
A great wood fence is only as good as the posts supporting it. Here is how we ensure a flawless, sag-free build:
Site Assessment & Layout
We review property lines, select layout styles, and coordinate utility line markings (Call 811) before digging.
Deep Post Setting
We dig post holes 24" to 30" deep and set them in high-strength concrete to prevent future fence leaning.
Heavy-Duty Rails
We install three levels of horizontal Douglas Fir or Redwood rails to form a rigid structural backbone.
Picket Installation
We level each picket and attach them with hot-dipped galvanized fasteners to prevent ugly black rust runs.
Clean Up & Walkthrough
We haul away all construction debris, check gate operations, and perform a final walk-through with you.
Wood Fencing FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions regarding wood fence life, cost, and maintenance.
How long does a redwood fence last in Sacramento?
With proper installation, a Con-Heart redwood fence can last 20 to 30+ years. Traditional wood posts set directly in concrete usually last 15-20 years before ground-level rot becomes an issue. Upgrading to galvanized steel PostMaster posts eliminates ground rot entirely, extending the life of your structure indefinitely.
Redwood vs. Cedar: Which is better?
Redwood is generally slightly stronger, harder, and has a higher concentration of natural rot-resistant oils than cedar, making it the premier choice in California. However, Western Red Cedar is also an excellent option; it is lightweight, highly stable (meaning it twists and warps less), and offers a beautiful lighter-amber look.
Should I stain or seal my new wood fence?
Yes. Although redwood and cedar are biologically rot-resistant, staining them protects the fibers from UV graying and water absorption. We recommend letting the wood dry for 4 to 6 weeks after installation before applying a high-quality oil-based penetrating stain to preserve the natural wood color.
How much does a wood privacy fence cost to install?
Wood fence installation in the Sacramento region typically ranges from $30 to $50+ per linear foot. The price depends on factors like lumber grade (Con-Heart vs. Common), fence height (6ft vs. 8ft), style (Side-by-Side vs. Board-on-Board), and whether you choose pressure-treated wood posts or steel PostMaster posts.
