Wood Fences

Why Choose Wood Fencing?

Wood fencing has been the gold standard for residential properties for generations, and for good reason. Nothing matches the natural warmth and character of real wood. Whether you want classic vertical pickets, modern horizontal slats, or a solid privacy fence, wood gives you unlimited design flexibility at a price that works for most budgets.

In Indio, wood fences do require some maintenance to handle our intense sun and dry climate, but with proper care, your wood fence can last 15-20 years or more. We use premium pressure-treated lumber and quality cedar that's specifically selected to withstand desert conditions. Our team has installed hundreds of wood fences across the Coachella Valley, and we know exactly what works in this environment.

Popular Wood Fence Styles

Let's walk you through the most popular wood fence options for Indio homeowners:

• •Privacy fences with solid boards that block views and reduce noise
• •Picket fences that add classic curb appeal to front yards
• •Horizontal slat fences for a modern, contemporary look
• •Shadow box fences that provide privacy while allowing airflow
• •Split rail fences perfect for larger properties and a rustic feel
• •Custom designs built to match your home's architecture

We work with pressure-treated pine, cedar, and redwood. Cedar is popular here because it naturally resists rot and insects, plus it ages beautifully. Pressure-treated pine offers excellent value and durability when properly maintained. Whatever you choose, we'll help you pick the right wood for your needs and budget.

Caring for Your Wood Fence in Indio

Here's the truth: wood fences need more care than vinyl or aluminum fences, but the maintenance isn't complicated. In Indio's dry climate, your biggest concerns are sun damage and occasional moisture from irrigation systems.

We recommend applying a quality sealer or stain every 2-3 years to protect against UV damage and keep your fence looking fresh. Regular inspection for loose boards or nails helps catch small problems before they become big ones. Keep sprinklers adjusted so water doesn't constantly hit your fence, and trim vegetation that grows against the wood.

With basic maintenance, your wood fence will provide decades of beauty and security. And if repairs are ever needed, wood is easy to fix. Unlike other materials where you might need to replace entire sections, we can often repair individual boards or posts quickly and affordably.
