Wood Fence Styles in Mount Juliet

Wood is still the most popular fencing choice in Wilson County — it’s warm, natural, and customizable in a way that vinyl and aluminum can’t match. We build three primary styles:

  • Board-on-board (privacy) — overlapping boards with no gaps, 6′ and 8′ heights. The standard for Mount Juliet backyards. Cedar holds up better than pine long-term; pine is the budget option.
  • Shadowbox — alternating boards on both sides, looks finished from either direction. Common in HOA communities where both sides of the fence are visible.
  • Dog-ear picket — traditional open-style, good for front yards where you want definition without full privacy.

Cedar vs. Pine — What to Choose in Mount Juliet

Both are common in Wilson County. Here’s the honest breakdown:

  • Cedar — naturally rot-resistant, holds stain better, lasts 15–20 years with occasional maintenance. Higher upfront cost but better long-term value.
  • Pressure-treated pine — lower cost, widely available, good for 10–15 years. Requires staining within the first year or two to prevent checking and splitting.

For most Mount Juliet homeowners who plan to stay in their home for 5+ years, cedar is worth the premium. We’ll give you an honest comparison at your estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a wood fence last in Middle Tennessee?

Cedar: 15–20 years with occasional staining and board replacement. Pressure-treated pine: 10–15 years. Tennessee’s humidity is harder on wood than dry climates — investing in cedar upfront almost always pays off.

Should I stain my fence right away?

For pressure-treated pine, wait 6–12 months for the wood to dry out before staining. Cedar can be stained right away or left to weather naturally to a grey patina. We’ll advise based on what you choose.

How long does installation take?

Most residential wood fence jobs in Mount Juliet complete in one to two days depending on linear footage and terrain.

Do you do fence repair in addition to new installs?

Yes — board replacement, post replacement, gate repairs. If your existing fence needs work before it needs replacing, we can assess that at no charge during the estimate visit.
