Wood fence installation in Dallas, TX from $30 to $80 per foot: Western Red Cedar or pine, board-on-board or side-by-side, on galvanized steel posts.
Wood fence installation in Dallas starts with three choices: the wood, the picket layout, and the post system. Our standard build is Western Red Cedar pickets on galvanized steel posts set in concrete, with three rails on 6-foot fences and a kickboard at the base. A free on-site estimate turns your footage, gates, grade, and tear-out into a written, itemized price.

Before 
After See the project: Side-by-Side Cedar Fence Replacement on Steel Posts in Dallas
Plano, TX
A top-of-the-line Western Red Cedar privacy fence in Plano: overlapping board-on-board pickets, pre-stained, on heavy-duty steel posts with rails and a kickboard.
Dallas, TX
The old fence was leaning and about to come down. We replaced it with pre-stained side-by-side dog-ear cedar on steel posts: privacy and security without breaking the bank.
Dallas, TX
The old gate wasn't closing properly, so we built a brand-new wood gate on heavy strap hinges and hung it in the existing fence. Small job, very happy customer.
Dallas, TX
180 linear feet of 8 ft Western Red Cedar board-on-board with top cap, trim and kickboard. A complete tear-out and rebuild, finished with a 5-star review.
We serve Dallas and the surrounding DFW cities from our North Dallas office. Pick your city for its local fence rules and permit details.
| Style | How it's built | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Board-on-board | Two overlapping picket layers; stays solid as the wood dries | Backyard privacy |
| Side-by-side | One flat layer; hairline gaps open as pickets shrink | Budget replacements |
| Horizontal cedar | Boards run sideways, tight or gapped | Modern homes |
| Picket or ranch rail | 3 to 4 ft pickets; two to four rails | Front yards, acreage |
Pickets can arrive pre-stained, as on our Plano board-on-board fence, or get fence staining on site. We also handle automatic gate installation, and our privacy fence installation page compares screening options.
Western Red Cedar is our recommendation for most Dallas homes; pressure-treated pine is the budget option. Both go on steel posts. Never want to stain? See Trex composite fencing.
| Western Red Cedar | Pressure-treated pine | |
|---|---|---|
| Movement in Texas heat | Minimal; stays straighter | More warping, cupping, and cracking |
| Upkeep | Low | Moderate; staining strongly recommended |
| Up-front cost | Higher | Lower |
| Best fit | Homeowners who plan to stay | Rentals and tighter budgets |
