Wood Fence and Picket Fence Installation in Austin, TX
Wood remains the most popular fencing material in Austin, Texas, and for good reason: it suits nearly every architectural style in the city, costs less up front than metal or composite, and can be repaired one board at a time. Perimeter Fence – TX builds cedar privacy fences, picket fences, and custom wood designs throughout Central Texas.
Why Cedar for a Wood Fence in Austin, Texas
Western red cedar contains natural oils that resist rot and insects without chemical treatment. It is dimensionally stable in heat, holds stain well, and ages to an even silver-grey if left untreated. Pressure-treated pine costs less but tends to warp and cup in Central Texas sun. We build primarily in cedar and are direct with clients about the tradeoff when budget points toward pine.
Picket Fences in Austin
Picket fences define a yard without closing it off, which makes them a natural fit for front yards, cottage-style homes, garden enclosures, and pool-adjacent areas where sight lines matter. We build traditional spaced pickets in dog-ear, gothic, and flat-top profiles, and we can match the picket spacing and height to an existing fence or an HOA standard.

Care and Longevity
A well-built cedar fence in Austin typically lasts fifteen to twenty years. Staining or sealing every two to three years slows greying and adds meaningful life, particularly on the sun-exposed side. Keeping sprinkler heads aimed away from the base makes a bigger difference than most homeowners expect.
