Pine or cedar — which should I pick?

Pine is the economical choice; cedar resists rot and insects naturally and ages beautifully. We will walk you through the trade-offs at your measure.

How often does a wood fence need staining?

Plan on staining or sealing every 2–3 years to maximize lifespan, depending on sun and weather exposure.

Can you remove my old fence before installing the new one?

Yes — old fence removal and haul-away is quoted as a separate line item so you only pay for it if you need it.

Wood Fence Installation in York, Pennsylvania

Serving the City of York and surrounding townships. Classic, natural privacy with pressure-treated pine or cedar. A widely-loved look with material costs far less exposed to 2026 metal tariffs.

Cedar is our preferred wood for privacy fences — it resists rot and insects naturally, holds stain well, and ages with a character that pressure-treated pine cannot match. For budget-conscious projects, pressure-treated southern yellow pine is a solid performer when stained every 2–3 years. We build board-on-board, stockade, shadow-box, and picket styles to whatever height your township allows.
