About This Service
When Rowlett homeowners think about adding a fence to their property, wood fencing is overwhelmingly the most popular choice — and for good reason. A professionally installed wood fence combines timeless beauty, proven durability, and outstanding value that no other fencing material can match. At Rowlett Fence, we have installed thousands of wood fences across the DFW metroplex, and we bring that same level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to quality to every wood fence project we complete in Rowlett. Whether you are looking for a classic 6-foot cedar privacy fence, a decorative picket fence for your front yard, or a custom board-on-board design that showcases your property's unique character, our experienced fence builders deliver results that exceed expectations every single time.
The key to a wood fence that looks great and lasts for decades in Rowlett's challenging North Texas climate is using the right materials, proper construction techniques, and professional installation from start to finish. We exclusively use premium-grade Western Red Cedar for our wood fences — the gold standard for outdoor lumber in Texas. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, and its beautiful grain pattern and warm tones only improve with age. Unlike pressure-treated pine fences that warp, split, and turn gray within a few years, a cedar fence installed by Rowlett Fence maintains its structural integrity and natural beauty for 15-20 years or more with proper maintenance. Every fence we build features 4x4 cedar posts set in concrete at precise intervals, 2x4 cedar rails securely fastened with galvanized hardware, and your choice of cedar pickets installed in the pattern and style that best complements your Rowlett home's architecture.
Our wood fence installation process begins with a thorough property assessment and consultation. We walk your Rowlett property line, identify any grade changes, drainage considerations, or utility easements that could affect fence placement, and discuss your goals for privacy, security, aesthetics, and budget. We then provide a detailed written estimate that includes all materials, labor, permit fees (if required by your Rowlett municipality or HOA), and cleanup. There are no hidden costs, no surprise charges, and no corners cut. From the moment we set the first post to the final quality inspection, you will see why Rowlett homeowners consistently rate Rowlett Fence as the top fence installation company in the DFW area. Our crews show up on time, work efficiently, respect your property, and leave your yard cleaner than they found it. We stand behind every fence we build with a comprehensive workmanship warranty because we are confident in the quality of our work.
Beyond standard privacy fences, we offer a wide range of wood fence styles to suit every Rowlett property and personal taste. Our board-on-board fences feature overlapping pickets that create a beautiful shadowbox effect while providing complete privacy from both sides — a popular choice for shared fence lines between neighbors. Our cap-and-trim fences add a horizontal cap rail and decorative trim boards along the top and bottom for a polished, custom look that elevates your property's curb appeal. We also build semi-private fences with spaced pickets for airflow and partial visibility, decorative lattice-top fences that combine privacy with an elegant finishing touch, and split-rail fences for rural Rowlett properties that want a rustic, open boundary. Whatever your vision, our skilled fence craftsmen can bring it to life with precision and care.
Why Choose Us
Here's why Rowlett homeowners trust Rowlett Fence for their Wood Fencing needs.
We use only premium-grade Western Red Cedar — naturally rot-resistant, insect-resistant, and dimensionally stable. Unlike pressure-treated pine, cedar won't warp, cup, or split in Rowlett's extreme heat and humidity cycles.
Every post is set in concrete with precise spacing, plumb alignment, and proper depth for your Rowlett soil conditions. We dig posts to 30-36 inches deep to ensure stability even in the shifting clay soils common throughout North Texas.
From board-on-board and cap-and-trim to lattice-top and shadow-box styles, we build the exact wood fence design you envision for your Rowlett property. Multiple picket profiles, post cap options, and trim details available.
Many Rowlett neighborhoods have strict HOA fence requirements. We are familiar with common HOA guidelines across the DFW area and ensure your fence meets all specifications for height, style, material, and setback requirements.
We use hot-dipped galvanized nails, screws, brackets, and hinges throughout — no cheap electro-plated fasteners that rust and stain within a year. Our hardware withstands Rowlett's rain, heat, and humidity without corrosion.
A professionally installed wood fence adds $5,000-$15,000 to your Rowlett home's value while providing privacy, security, and defined outdoor living space. It is one of the highest-ROI home improvements you can make.

Wood fence installation in Rowlett typically costs $25-$45 per linear foot for a standard 6-foot cedar privacy fence, including all materials, labor, and concrete for posts.

A properly installed cedar fence in Rowlett typically lasts 15-25 years depending on maintenance. With regular staining every 2-3 years and prompt repair of any damaged pickets, premium cedar fences can last 25+ years. The natural oils in cedar provide inherent resistance to rot and insects that makes it far superior to pine in North Texas conditions.
Permit requirements vary by municipality in the DFW area. Many Rowlett cities require permits for fences over 4 feet tall. HOAs often have additional requirements for style, height, and materials. Rowlett Fence handles all permit applications and HOA submissions as part of our service — you do not need to worry about paperwork or compliance.
Western Red Cedar is the best wood for fences in Rowlett and throughout North Texas. It is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage without chemical treatment. Cedar also handles the extreme temperature swings and humidity cycles of the DFW climate better than pine, which tends to warp and split within a few years. We exclusively use premium cedar for all our wood fence installations.
Most residential wood fence installations in Rowlett are completed in 1-3 days depending on the length of the fence, terrain complexity, and any demolition of old fencing required. A standard 150-200 linear foot privacy fence typically takes 1-2 days. We work efficiently and aim to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
