Wood: The Backyard Standard in Oak Ridge

Wood is the most popular fence we build in Oak Ridge. It suits the classic cemesto and alphabet houses in the older parts of town. It also looks great with the new homes in Groves Park, Forest Creek Village and Summit Place.

Oak Ridge lets side and rear fences go up to 7 feet. That is a bit taller than many nearby cities, and it is great for privacy on hillside lots where the neighbor's yard sits above yours.

Shade is the big challenge here. Oak Ridge has lots of mature trees, and wood in deep shade stays damp longer. We build with good airflow at the bottom, and we will show you how to keep it sealed.

Oak Ridge Know-How

How We Build Wood Fences on Oak Ridge Lots

Built on Hillsides

We step each section down the slope, so the fence looks level and the bottom stays tight.

Roots and Trees

We plan post spots around big roots, so your fence is solid and your trees stay healthy.

Rules Checked

We help you plan for the zoning permit and the 4-foot front and 7-foot back height limits.

Keeping Wood Healthy Under Oak Ridge Trees

Oak Ridge's big trees are one of its best features. They also drop leaves and keep wood damp. A little care goes a long way.

  • N
    Rake leaves away from the bottom of the fence each fall.
  • N
    Seal or stain every 2 to 3 years.
  • N
    Trim branches that rub on the boards.
  • N
    Wash off green growth with a mild cleaner in spring.

Want less upkeep? See vinyl fencing, which won't rot in the shade.
