CHOOSING THE RIGHT MATERIAL
The material you select for your fence determines its appearance, durability, maintenance requirements, and cost. We offer a variety of high-quality materials to suit your preferences, budget, and specific needs for your Central Texas property.
Cedar Fencing
Cedar is the premium choice for wooden fences in Central Texas, offering natural beauty, durability, and resistance to our local climate conditions. Its natural oils make it resistant to insects and decay, while its distinctive warm color and grain patterns create a timeless aesthetic.
Advantages
- Beautiful natural reddish-brown color and distinctive grain
- Natural resistance to insects, rot, and moisture damage
- 15-20+ year lifespan with proper maintenance
- Excellent dimensional stability - less prone to warping and twisting
- Natural insulating properties that keep yards quieter
- Environmentally friendly renewable resource
Considerations
- Higher initial cost than pressure-treated pine
- Requires periodic maintenance (sealing/staining every 2-3 years)
- Will naturally weather to a silvery-gray if not maintained
- Slight color variations between boards (a natural characteristic)
- Premium material cost depends on current lumber market
Best For: Homeowners seeking a premium, attractive fence with excellent durability who appreciate natural wood's beauty and are willing to perform occasional maintenance to preserve its appearance.
Pressure-Treated Pine
Pressure-treated pine is the most economical wood fencing option. The lumber is infused with chemical preservatives that protect against rot, insects, and fungal decay, making it suitable for outdoor structures in our humid Central Texas climate.
Advantages
- Most affordable wooden fencing option
- Treated to resist termites, rot, and decay
- Widely available and familiar to most contractors
- Can be stained to improve appearance and longevity
- 10-15 year lifespan with proper maintenance
- Good value option for budget-conscious homeowners
Considerations
- More prone to warping, twisting, and splitting than cedar
- Requires more frequent maintenance (every 1-2 years)
- Less attractive natural appearance than cedar
- Greenish tint when new that fades over time
- Surface can become rough and prone to splinters as it ages
- Chemical preservatives raise environmental considerations
Best For: Budget-conscious homeowners who need a functional fence at a lower cost and don't mind more frequent maintenance. Also good for temporary fencing solutions or when planning to sell a property soon.
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl (PVC) fencing offers the ultimate in low-maintenance durability. These engineered fences maintain their appearance for decades without staining, painting, or sealing, making them increasingly popular for homeowners seeking a truly hands-off fencing solution.
Advantages
- Virtually maintenance-free - never needs painting or staining
- Exceptional durability with 30+ year potential lifespan
- Won't rot, warp, splinter, or become susceptible to insects
- Consistent color throughout the material won't fade significantly
- Easy to clean with just water and mild soap
- Available in various styles, heights, and color options
Considerations
- Higher initial investment than wood options
- Limited color options (primarily white and tan shades)
- Can become brittle in extremely cold temperatures
- Difficult to repair if damaged - often requires panel replacement
- Less natural appearance than wood fencing
- Not easily customizable after installation
Best For: Homeowners seeking the most low-maintenance, long-lasting fence option who are willing to make a higher initial investment for reduced lifetime costs. Ideal for those who want a consistently clean appearance with minimal upkeep.
Metal & Wire Fencing
Metal and wire fencing options like ornamental iron, aluminum, chain link, and hog wire provide security while maintaining visibility and airflow. These versatile materials can be used for property boundaries, decorative elements, or as panel inserts in wooden frames.
Advantages
- Exceptional durability and strength
- Allows visibility while defining boundaries
- Permits airflow throughout your yard
- Low maintenance requirements
- Won't burn, rot, or attract pests
- Some options (like hog wire) can be combined with wooden frames for a custom look
Considerations
- Limited privacy compared to solid fencing materials
- Some types (like iron) can rust without proper coating
- Usually requires professional installation
- Often more expensive than basic wood options
- Not ideal for noise reduction
- Chain link has a more industrial appearance
Best For: Properties where visibility is preferred over privacy, such as front yards, pool enclosures, or large properties with scenic views. Hog wire panels with wooden frames are perfect for contemporary homes seeking a modern aesthetic.
