Wood Fence Built for Plano
The wood fence Plano homeowners call us about is usually already leaning. The builder pine that went in with these houses is failing street by street, in Legacy West, West Plano and the established blocks between them, and most residential wood fence Plano projects we run now are full replacements: old pine down and hauled off, Western Red Cedar set in its place.
We rebuild in cedar because it earns the spend. Its natural oils fight rot and insects, it handles the heat, and it takes stain the way pine never will. Most yards go back as board-on-board, where overlapped pickets stay solid as the wood dries; side-by-side keeps the classic look for less material, and cap and trim dress up either one to match the street.
Every job starts with a free on-site assessment. We measure the run, flag what your HOA will want to see, and your quote lands fast. And if your yard is telling us wood isn't the answer, composite or iron instead, we'll say so before you spend anything.
Wood Fencing in Plano, Without the Sales Gloss
The calls we actually make on Plano wood fence jobs.
- 01Plano is deep in the replacement wave
- The pine that went up when these neighborhoods were new is hitting the end of its life all at once. Most of our Plano wood work starts with a tear-out: pickets down, posts pulled, everything hauled off, then cedar set in its place. Removal is part of the number you get at the assessment, not a surprise line later.
- 02Collin County clay is the real opponent
- Plano sits on black clay that swells every wet spring and bakes tight in August, and that movement is what leaned the last fence. Posts go deep in concrete on a gravel base that drains, roughly a third of the post underground and deeper on 8-foot runs, and nothing gets dug until a Texas 811 locate marks the lines.Source: Texas811
- 03Steel posts where the old fence already failed
- A wood fence dies at the post line first. On runs where the pine posts rotted through or snapped, we quote galvanized steel posts set in concrete: the pickets age out decades from now, the posts stay, and the next rebuild costs less. Sheltered runs can still carry cedar posts honestly, and we'll tell you which is which.
- 04HOA paperwork before a post moves
- We've built under Plano HOAs from Legacy West and Kings Ridge to Deerfield and Shepards Glen, and most want an application with drawings before anything is scheduled. We prepare the submittal pack with your quote: height, style, stain color, the details boards actually ask about.See every wood fence style we build

Wood Fence in Plano: Questions, Answered
How much does a wood fence cost in Plano?
Every cedar fence Plano, TX yard prices differently: footage, style, height, wood grade, post type, gates, terrain and hauling off the old pine all move the number, so we don't quote from a chart. We measure everything at your free on-site assessment, your quote comes back fast, and the number we quote is the number you pay.
Why is every fence on my Plano street failing at once?
Because they all went in the same season, at construction speed, in pine. Builder-grade fences were put up to sell houses, not to beat Collin County clay, and shallow posts rot and lean right on schedule. We rebuild with Western Red Cedar, deeper posts and concrete so you only do this once.
Board-on-board or side-by-side for the rebuild?
Board-on-board Plano rebuilds are most of what we set: pickets overlap on alternating sides, so no gaps open as the cedar dries, and the extra material stiffens the fence against spring wind. Side-by-side is the classic look for less. Want it dressed up? Cap and trim, boxed posts, or a picture-frame build that looks finished from both sides.
Do Plano HOAs restrict wood fences?
Most we build under have rules on height, style and stain color, and communities like Legacy West, Kings Ridge, Deerfield and Shepards Glen want an application before work starts. We've been through those approvals and prepare the drawings and specs with your quote, so the board's yes doesn't hold up your build.
Should I stain the new cedar?
Cedar left bare weathers to an even silver-gray; stain holds the warm tone and shields the boards from sun and sprinkler water. Timing depends on the wood's moisture, so our Wood Defender certified crew checks your boards and tells you the right window for your fence. If you'd rather skip the wait entirely, ask about pre-stained cedar that shows up already protected.
Steel posts or cedar posts for a Plano yard?
Steel, and with us that is not a choice you pay extra for. Every wood fence we build in Plano goes up on galvanized steel posts set deep in concrete, because Collin County clay works wood posts loose and rots them at the ground line. The cedar goes on the fence, where you can see it; the steel goes in the ground, where it wins.
Do you offer a warranty on wood fence installation in Plano?
Yes. Every residential wood fence Plano job carries our workmanship warranty on top of top quality materials. If a post shifts or a gate sags because of how we built it, we make it right. One call, no runaround.
