ABOUT WOOD FENCING
The Timeless Choice for St. Charles Homeowners
Wood fencing has been the most popular residential fence type in St. Charles County for as long as we have been in business, and for good reason. It is naturally beautiful, highly customizable, and when installed correctly with quality lumber, it holds up well in Missouri's climate for 15 to 20 years or more.
We build wood fences using cedar and pressure-treated lumber sourced through Master Halco, one of the most respected fencing distributors in the country. Cedar is our preferred choice for privacy fences because its natural oils resist rot and insects without chemical treatment. Pressure-treated pine is an excellent budget-friendly option that performs well when properly sealed.
Whether you need a 6-foot privacy fence around a backyard in O'Fallon, a decorative picket fence in front of a St. Peters home, or a split rail fence on a Wentzville acreage property, we have the experience to install it right the first time.
WOOD FENCE STYLES
Wood Fence Styles We Install
Every property is different. We offer a full range of wood fence styles to match your needs, your yard, and your HOA requirements.
Board-on-Board Privacy
Overlapping vertical boards that create a fully solid panel with no gaps. Maximum privacy and one of the most popular styles in St. Charles County. Available in 6ft and 8ft heights.
Shadowbox (Semi-Privacy)
Alternating boards on both sides of the rail create a fence with partial visibility. Great for neighborhoods where a fully solid fence may not be preferred or HOA-approved.
Picket Fence
Classic pointed or flat-top pickets with gaps between each board. More decorative than private, picket fences are ideal for front yards and properties where you want a welcoming, traditional look.
Split Rail
A rustic, open style using rough-cut rails and posts. Ideal for larger rural properties, acreages, and properties in Wentzville or Lincoln County where you want to define a boundary without blocking views.
Dog-Ear Privacy
The most common privacy fence style. Each board is cut with a notched top corner, giving the fence its distinctive look. Solid, affordable, and widely accepted by HOAs across St. Charles County.
Flat-Top Privacy
A cleaner, modern take on the standard privacy fence. All boards are cut to the same height for a straight, uniform top line. A great choice for contemporary homes or anyone who wants a sharp look.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Wood Fence FAQ
-
Wood fence installation costs vary based on fence length, height, style, and lumber type. Cedar typically costs more than pressure-treated pine but offers natural rot resistance without chemicals. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect. Call 636-399-2946 to schedule yours.
-
Cedar and pressure-treated pine are the two most common choices in St. Charles County. Cedar has natural oils that resist rot and insects without chemical treatment and tends to stay straighter over time. Pressure-treated pine is more affordable and performs well when properly sealed. Both are good options depending on your budget and preferences.
-
A well-maintained wood fence in St. Charles County can last 15 to 20 years. Missouri's humidity, UV exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate wood degradation, so staining or sealing every 2 to 3 years is important. Without maintenance, lifespan drops to 8 to 12 years. If you want a lower-maintenance option with a longer lifespan, ask us about vinyl.
-
Most cities in St. Charles County require a permit for fences over 4 feet in the front yard or over 6 feet elsewhere. Requirements vary by municipality. We advise every customer on permit requirements for their specific city during the estimate visit so there are no surprises.
-
Both provide excellent privacy when installed as a board-on-board or solid panel style. Wood is more affordable upfront and delivers a warm, natural look. Vinyl costs more initially but requires almost no maintenance and lasts significantly longer. The right choice depends on your budget and how much upkeep you are willing to do over the years.
