Wood Fences
Classic wood fencing that adds natural beauty and lasting value to your Tracy property.
There's something timeless about a well-built wood fence. It's warm, natural, and fits just about any property style, from modern homes to classic California ranches. Wood fencing has been the go-to choice for homeowners in Tracy for good reason: it's versatile, attractive, and when properly maintained, it can last for decades.
At First Line Tracy Fence Builders, we build wood fences the right way. That means using quality lumber, proper installation techniques, and attention to detail that ensures your fence looks great and stands strong year after year. Whether you want privacy, security, or just a clean property line, wood fencing gives you options that other materials can't match.
Popular Wood Fence Styles We Install
Wood fencing comes in more varieties than most people realize. The style you choose should match both your needs and your home's character. Here are the most popular options we install in Tracy:
- •Privacy fences: Solid panels typically 6 feet tall, perfect for backyards where you want seclusion
- •Picket fences: Classic front yard style with spaced vertical boards, great curb appeal
- •Rail fences: Horizontal or split-rail designs that define property lines without blocking views
- •Board-on-board fences: Overlapping vertical boards that provide privacy while allowing air flow
- •Shadow box fences: Alternating boards on both sides create an attractive look from any angle
We'll help you pick the style that fits your property and budget. During your free consultation, we can show you examples and explain the pros and cons of each design.
Choosing the Right Wood for Your Fence
Not all wood is created equal, especially in California's climate. We primarily work with pressure-treated pine and cedar because they offer the best combination of durability and value. Pressure-treated lumber resists rot and insects, making it ideal for posts and rails that contact the ground. Cedar naturally repels pests and weather beautifully over time, developing a silvery gray patina if left unstained.
We can also work with redwood if you're looking for premium lumber with exceptional longevity and natural resistance to decay. The choice often comes down to budget and aesthetics. We'll walk you through the options and help you make the right decision for your specific needs and how long you plan to stay in your home.
Built to Last: Our Installation Process
A beautiful wood fence starts with proper installation. We set posts at least 2 feet deep in concrete, ensuring they won't lean or shift over time. Our team checks level and plumb at every step, so your fence looks straight and professional from any angle. We use galvanized or stainless steel hardware that won't rust and stain your wood.
After installation, we recommend sealing or staining your fence within the first year to protect it from moisture and UV damage. A quality sealant can double the life of your fence. We're happy to recommend local products that work well in Tracy's climate, or we can handle the finishing work for you. Think of it as sunscreen for your fence, it just makes sense.
If you're considering other materials alongside wood, check out our vinyl fence options for low-maintenance alternatives or explore aluminum fencing for a different look. But for many Tracy homeowners, nothing beats the natural warmth and character of wood. See why locals trust us for quality fence installation.
