Wood Fence Installation & Cedar Fence Installation in Austin, TX
Cedar Fencing Built Around How You Actually Use Your Yard
Wood fence installation is the backbone of what we do at FenceMaxx, and cedar fence installation makes up the bulk of the wood projects we complete across Austin and the surrounding Central Texas communities. Cedar has earned its reputation here for good reason: it holds up to our heat, resists rot better than most softwoods, and gives homeowners a warm, natural look that fits everything from new builds in Leander to established neighborhoods closer to downtown.
Whether you’re after a classic privacy fence or a more detailed design, our crews bring the same level of craftsmanship to every board they hang.
Designed for Your Property, Built for Central Texas Soil
No two properties call for the same fence. Before we cut a single board, we walk the property line with you, talk through grade changes, existing landscaping, and gate placement, and figure out what the fence needs to do beyond just marking a boundary. We source premium-grade cedar and use construction methods suited to Central Texas soil, which can shift more than people expect over a hot summer — properly set posts, hardware that won’t rust out in a few seasons, and finish work that keeps the fence looking sharp long after installation day. For materials beyond wood, our fence installation page covers the full range.
What’s holding your fence up matters just as much as the style. Wood posts with two rails is the most budget-friendly build, but wood posts are more prone to warping, twisting, and rotting over time. Steel posts with three rails is what we recommend for most projects — steel resists rot, warping, and moisture damage, and the added rail keeps pickets from bowing or sagging. Covered steel posts give you steel strength with a clean, all-wood appearance. If budget is the priority, wood posts with three rails or steel posts with two rails are strong middle-ground options we’ll walk through during your estimate.
Why Austin Homeowners Choose FenceMaxx for Wood Fencing
Wood fence installation Austin homeowners trust doesn’t happen by accident. Clients keep coming back to us for cedar projects because of 43 years of hands-on experience building fences across Central Texas, locally owned and operated crews who know how cedar holds up in this specific climate — in Austin and beyond — straightforward, no-pressure quotes with clear timelines, and a one-year craftsmanship warranty, with the understanding that wood is a natural material that will change some over time.
Photos go a long way when you’re picking a fence style. Our wood and cedar gallery is filled with completed projects from around Austin, including horizontal designs, board on board privacy fences, and cap and trim finishes, so you can get a feel for how each option looks in a real yard before deciding what’s right for yours.
How long does wood fence installation take?
Most standard residential wood and cedar fences are completed in one to three days. Larger properties or more detailed builds, like board on board with cedar cap and trim, can take a bit longer depending on the scope.
Will my cedar fence need much maintenance?
Cedar holds up well with minimal upkeep, though staining or sealing every few years helps preserve its color and extend its life in Austin’s heat and sun.
Can you match an existing wood fence style?
In many cases, yes. If part of your existing fence is in good shape, we’ll talk through what can be matched or reused and what should be replaced.
Do you offer free estimates for wood fencing?

Wood & Cedar Styles
Built for Texas & Designed for You
Horizontal Cedar Fence
Clean Lines. Modern Feel.
A horizontal cedar fence trades the traditional vertical picket look for clean, modern lines. It’s become a popular choice for newer builds and remodels where homeowners want a more contemporary feel without giving up privacy or durability.
Cap and Trim Fence
A Polished, Custom Finish.
A cap and trim fence adds a finished top rail and trim boards to a standard privacy design, giving the fence a more polished, custom appearance. We build ours with a sturdy 2″x6″ Western Red Cedar cap, paired with your choice of 1″x4″ or 1″x2″ trim. If you have a specific look in mind, we can customize the sizing to match.
Board on Board Fence
Full Privacy. No Gaps.
A board on board fence overlaps the pickets so there are no gaps to see through, even as the wood naturally shifts with the seasons. It’s one of the most requested styles for homeowners who want full privacy without sacrificing the natural look of cedar, and it pairs well with cedar cap and trim accents for a more high-end finish.
Good Neighbor Fence
Great From Both Sides.
A Good Neighbor fence uses identical finishes on both sides of the fence line, so there’s no “backyard” side facing your neighbor’s yard. It’s a clean, balanced option for homeowners who want their fence to look just as good from both properties.
