Wood Fence Materials: What We Use & Why
In Michigan's climate, lumber selection can mean the difference between a fence that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 30. We source all our lumber from local Michigan suppliers and only install grades appropriate for exterior, ground-contact use. Here's what we typically use on Metro Detroit installations and what you should know about each option.
Western Red Cedar - The Premium Choice
Cedar is the gold standard for wood fencing. Its natural oils resist rot and insects without chemical treatment. We use #1 and #2 grade cedar boards with 4x4 or 5x5 posts. Expected lifespan: 20–30 years with periodic staining every 3–5 years. Installed cost: $18–$28 per linear foot for 6-ft privacy.
Pressure-Treated Pine - The Value Choice
ACQ pressure-treated lumber uses preservatives that resist rot and insects. We use UC4B-rated material for all ground-contact posts and UC3B for above-grade boards. Installed cost: $14–$22 per linear foot for 6-ft privacy. Seal or stain 6–12 months after installation.
Douglas Fir & SPF - Great for Painted Fences
When a homeowner wants a painted white or color picket fence, Douglas Fir or SPF boards are an economical choice. They accept primer and paint beautifully and, when properly sealed, last 15–20 years. Installed cost: $12–$18 per linear foot.
Why Metro Detroit Homeowners Trust All Fenced Up

Deep-Rooted Knowledge of Michigan Conditions
Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and humid summers are tough on fences. We account for all of it - frost-depth post setting, drainage-conscious grading, and lumber selection that holds up in our climate. We've been doing this locally long enough to know what fails and why.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our wood fencing services? We've compiled the most common questions from Metro Detroit homeowners below. Call (734) 977-0554 anytime for personalized guidance.
Do I need a permit for a wood fence in Metro Detroit?
Most municipalities require permits for fences over 4 ft tall or any front-yard fence. We pull all required permits as part of our service - permit fees typically run $50–$150.
How deep do fence posts need to be in Michigan?
Michigan's frost depth is 42". We set all posts a minimum of 48" deep in concrete to prevent frost heave. For taller fences, we go deeper.
How long does a wood fence installation take?
Most residential projects complete in 1–2 days. A 150-ft privacy fence with one walk gate typically takes our crew about 1.5 days from post setting through final board installation.
Can you remove my old fence before installing the new one?
Yes - we offer full fence removal and haul-away for an additional fee. We tear out, load, and dispose of your old fence and prepare the ground for new post setting.
What's the difference between cedar and pressure-treated?
Cedar is naturally rot-resistant due to its oils and weathers to a beautiful silver-grey. Pressure-treated pine uses chemical preservatives and costs less. Both are excellent choices.
Do you offer any warranty on your work?
We warranty all workmanship for 1 year. Our materials are expected to perform 15–30 years with proper maintenance - and we're always available if you have questions.
