Pros and Cons of Wood Fencing

Wood fencing is extremely popular in Maryland, because of the natural materials that incorporate into the popular native look of most landscape designs.

Affordability: Wood fence installation is the least expensive of the quality fence styles.  Cedar wood for fences have a much longer life with less warping in boards.

Durability: You can expect your wood fence to last 20 years or more if properly cared for. Our materials are cedar or pressure treated. It should be sealed every few years to maintain look and longevity.

Damage and Rot are the only cons with wood fencing. Properly maintained sealed fences will withstand the elements better than a neglected wood fence for many years.
