Nothing beats the classic look of a wood fence. Whether you want a tall privacy fence to create your own backyard retreat or a charming picket fence to frame your front yard, wood gives you versatility that other materials can't match. San Leandro homeowners love wood fencing because it fits any architectural style, from historic California bungalows to modern builds. Plus, you can paint or stain it any color you want, and it gets better with age.
Not all wood is created equal. The type you choose affects how long your fence lasts, how much maintenance it needs, and what it costs. We help you pick the right wood for your budget and your needs.
Redwood is California's native beauty. It naturally resists rot, insects, and warping because of its natural oils. It starts out reddish-brown and ages to a stunning silver-gray if you leave it untreated. Redwood costs more upfront but lasts 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. Perfect for homeowners who want the best and don't mind the investment.
Best for: Privacy fences, decorative fences, high-end properties
Cedar gives you natural rot and insect resistance at a more affordable price than redwood. It has a beautiful grain pattern and that fresh cedar smell everyone loves. With proper care, cedar fences last 15-20 years. It's the most popular choice for San Leandro privacy fences because it balances quality with value.
Best for: Privacy fences, backyard enclosures, general residential use
Pressure-treated pine costs the least and still gives you a solid 15-20 years when maintained properly. The treatment process forces preservatives deep into the wood to prevent rot and insect damage. It starts out with a greenish tint but you can stain it any color once it dries. Great for utility fences, side yards, and when budget is the top priority.
Best for: Side and back yards, budget projects, temporary fencing
Wood fencing offers incredible design flexibility. Here are the styles San Leandro homeowners request most often:
Wood fences need some care to look their best and last their longest. The good news? Maintenance isn't complicated. Clean your fence once a year with a garden hose or pressure washer on low setting. Apply stain or sealant every 2-3 years to protect against moisture and UV damage. Check for loose boards or nails annually and tighten them up. Trim vegetation away from the fence to prevent moisture buildup and rot. These simple steps can add years to your fence's life. Whether you need a new fence or help with fence repairs, we're here to help. Looking for other options? We also install low-maintenance vinyl fences that never need staining.
