San Antonio's mix of historic homes and new developments demands wood fences that balance beauty with durability. We primarily use locally sourced cedar for its natural resistance to insects and rot, with pressure-treated pine options for budget-conscious projects.
Our installation process accounts for the Hill Country's unique challenges. Posts are set 36" deep with concrete collars to combat soil movement. We leave strategic gaps between pickets to allow for summer expansion. For properties near flood zones like the Olmos Basin, we recommend taller concrete kickboards to protect against water damage.
Popular styles include classic dog-ear privacy fences in Alamo Heights neighborhoods and horizontal slat designs for modern Pearl District homes.
