Decorative Wood Fencing

Privacy fencing is designed to block visibility completely — solid boards with no gaps. Decorative fencing prioritizes aesthetics: custom picket styles, horizontal slats with intentional spacing, lattice tops, arbor gates, and other design elements that make your fence a feature, not just a barrier. Many homeowners combine both — a decorative front yard fence with privacy fencing in the back.

We build horizontal slat fences, castle style (alternating heights), decorative picket (dog ear, French Gothic, rounded, pointed), board on board with lattice tops, scalloped tops, custom arbor gates, and full custom designs. If you've seen a style you love — whether in a magazine, Pinterest, or a neighbor's yard — we can build it.

Most decorative fence projects take 2-4 days depending on the design complexity, property size, and custom elements. Horizontal slat and picket fences are on the faster end. Projects with custom arbor gates, lattice work, or specialty trim may take an additional day. We'll give you an accurate timeline during your free consultation.

Decorative fencing typically runs 15-30% more than a standard privacy fence due to the additional craftsmanship and design details. However, it adds significantly more curb appeal and property value. Simple picket or horizontal slat designs are the most affordable decorative options. Custom arbor gates and lattice work are at the higher end. We provide transparent quotes with no hidden fees.

We exclusively use pressure-treated pine lumber rated for ground contact and Florida's humid climate. All fasteners are stainless steel to prevent rust staining. The wood arrives fresh from the mill and will weather to a beautiful silver-grey over time, or you can stain or seal it to maintain the golden color. We also offer cedar upgrades for clients who want the premium natural look.

Absolutely. We frequently add custom arbor gates, decorative gate frames, and post cap upgrades to existing fences. We can also replace a section of an existing fence with a decorative panel to create a feature wall. During your free consultation, Alan will assess your current fence and discuss what's possible.
