Wood Fence Installation Utah — Cedar & Redwood Privacy Fences
A&E installs cedar and redwood wood fencing across Utah's southern and northern counties. Privacy, board-on-board, and custom wood fence designs — pressure-treated posts set in concrete on every install.
The Benefits of Wood Fencing in Utah
Wood fencing brings a natural warmth and character to Utah properties that no other material can replicate — the rich grain of western red cedar, the way it weathers to a natural gray patina, the way it fits into Utah's mountain and desert landscapes naturally. At A&E Hardscape & Construction we've been installing cedar and redwood wood fences across Utah for over 15 years, from classic dog-ear privacy fences in Davis County and Iron County to custom board-on-board designs for mountain properties in Summit County and Wasatch County.
Every A&E wood fence uses pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact and sets them in concrete footings dug to Utah's frost depth for your specific county. The most common wood fence failure is post rot at the ground line — pressure-treated posts eliminate this issue and give your fence a foundation that outlasts the fence boards themselves.

Wood Fence Styles We Install in Utah
Dog-Ear Privacy Fence
The classic residential wood privacy fence — 6-foot cedar boards with diagonal cut corners installed tight for full privacy. The most common wood fence style in Utah and across all our service areas. Available in cedar and treated pine.
Board-on-Board Privacy Fence
Alternating overlapping boards that provide complete privacy from both sides of the fence — no gaps visible from any angle. More material than dog-ear fencing but provides superior privacy and a higher-end appearance. Popular in Summit County and Wasatch County.
Horizontal Wood Fencing
Modern horizontal plank fencing with boards running horizontally rather than vertically — a contemporary aesthetic increasingly popular for Utah homes. Available in cedar and redwood with various spacing options for privacy or semi-privacy applications.
Custom Wood Fence Designs
Custom wood fence designs including lattice tops, combination panel styles, alternating board heights, and mixed material designs. A&E works with homeowners to design wood fences that complement their home's architecture and surrounding landscape.
Why Utah Homeowners Choose A&E for Wood Fencing
Wood fencing in Utah has one common failure point — post rot at ground contact. Homeowners who choose standard posts without pressure treatment or who skip concrete footings end up with leaning, failing fence sections within 5-8 years. Every A&E wood fence uses pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact set in concrete footings dug to the correct frost depth for your county. The boards may eventually need replacing after 15-25 years — but the post foundation will outlast everything above it when done right.
- Pressure-Treated Posts Rated for Ground Contact — Every Install
- Concrete Footings Set to Utah Frost Depth
- Cedar & Redwood — Natural Rot & Insect Resistance

Our Wood Fence Installation Process
Free On-Site Estimate
We visit your property, measure the fence line, discuss wood species, style, and height options, and provide a detailed written estimate with exact pricing. We identify any terrain challenges, slope requirements, or HOA color and style restrictions before quoting.
Post Layout, Digging & Setting
We locate underground utilities, layout post positions, and dig holes to the correct depth for Utah's frost line in your specific county. Pressure-treated posts are set in concrete and allowed to cure fully before any boards are installed.
Board Installation & Finishing
We install fence boards, rails, and caps to the specified design. Gates are hung and adjusted for proper operation. We provide recommendations for staining or sealing your new fence to maximize longevity in Utah's climate.

How much does wood fence installation cost in Utah?
Wood fence installation in Utah typically costs $20–$45 per linear foot installed. Cedar privacy fencing runs $20–$35 per linear foot. Board-on-board fencing runs $28–$40 per linear foot. Redwood fencing runs $30–$45 per linear foot due to premium material costs. Call 435-253-5322 for a free on-site estimate.
How long does wood fencing last in Utah?
Cedar wood fencing in Utah lasts 15–25 years with proper maintenance — sealing or staining every 2–3 years extends life significantly. Redwood lasts 20–30+ years due to natural rot resistance. Pressure-treated posts set in concrete footings prevent the most common failure point — post rot at ground contact.
What is the best wood for fencing in Utah?
Western red cedar is the best all-around wood fence choice for Utah — it has natural oils that resist rot and insects, handles freeze-thaw cycles well, and takes stain and paint easily. Redwood is the premium option with exceptional natural durability. Both significantly outperform pine in Utah's outdoor conditions.
Does wood fencing require maintenance in Utah?
Yes. Wood fencing requires sealing or staining every 2–3 years in Utah to protect against UV exposure, moisture, and temperature swings. Properly maintained cedar retains its appearance for 15–25 years. Skipping maintenance allows UV graying and moisture penetration that shortens fence life significantly — especially in Summit County and Cache County where winters are harsher.
Does A&E install wood fencing near me in Utah?
A&E installs wood fencing across 9 Utah counties — Iron County, Washington County, Beaver County, Weber County, Davis County, Cache County, Box Elder County, Summit County, and Wasatch County. Call 435-253-5322 to confirm service in your city.
What Utah Homeowners Say About Our Wood Fencing
"A&E installed a beautiful cedar dog-ear privacy fence at our Cedar City home. The posts are perfectly set, the boards are tight, and they stained it exactly the color we wanted. Looks great and has held up perfectly."
"We had A&E install a board-on-board cedar fence at our Park City property. The craftsmanship is outstanding — every board is perfectly spaced and the fence looks incredible from both sides. Worth every penny."
"A&E built a horizontal wood fence at our Ogden home — modern design that matches our house perfectly. They were professional, on time, and the finished fence looks like it was designed by an architect. Highly recommend."
