Why choose a horizontal wood fence?
Horizontal wood fencing is the choice when you want the fence to feel like part of the home's architecture, not just a boundary. Stained cedar or redwood make a distinctive visual impact, especially on front yards and patios where the fence is always in view.
We build horizontal layouts with cedar or redwood because those species hold up in Northwest Arkansas humidity and resist the cupping that shows more on horizontal runs than on vertical pickets. Steel posts and thoughtful spacing keep panels looking straight through hot summers and storm seasons.
Material and post options
Horizontal fences put picket quality and post strength front and center. Your wood species, board spacing, and hardware choices determine how the line looks in five years and how much maintenance you will plan for.
Cedar and redwood pickets
Cedar offers natural rot and insect resistance with a warm, consistent grain; redwood adds distinctive color and a premium finished look. Both are our go-to species for horizontal layouts where warp and stain streaks would be visible across long runs. We use stainless steel ring-shank nails on cedar and redwood builds to avoid the dark marks galvanized fasteners can leave over time.
Metal posts and black hardware
Steel posts stay straight where wood posts eventually move in soil contact. Black metal hinges, brackets, and latches complement cedar and redwood boards without competing with the wood grain. Galvanized or steel gate frames are a smart upgrade for wide drive openings on horizontal lines that already use metal posts on the fence run.
Custom gates
Entry gates on horizontal fences are built to the same board direction and spacing as the run, with widths and heights sized for your grade and daily use. Stepped pickets, airflow gaps, and black hardware are common on custom horizontal gate builds across Northwest Arkansas.
Gates built to match your fence
Our gates are custom built to match your fence, not a separate piece tacked on at the end.
Standard swinging gates. Single and double gates with pickets aligned to the fence run, plus hardware chosen for daily use and security needs.
Custom wood gates. Built to your width and height, including stepped pickets when grade changes between yards and customizable metal hardware to complement your wood finishes.
Metal gate frame options. A steel frame gate prevents sagging over time, prolonging the life of your gate. This pairs well with steel hinge posts.
What to expect on your project
We start with a free quote and a walkthrough of cedar, redwood, board spacing, and post options so you can see how your horizontal layout will read from the street and backyard.
Once we begin work on site, most residential horizontal wood fences are installed within a week once we start work. Post concrete typically needs a short cure period before gates are hung.
Current scheduling usually runs about two to three weeks from approval to start, depending on season and project size. We keep communication direct so you know when we are on site.
What homeowners say about our work
"We had an incredible experience working with Landscape Earth Fence! All my questions were answered very quickly and thoroughly. They had our whole fence done in 2 days. Also very happy we went with the metal gate frame. It's extremely sturdy and I think will save lots of maintenance in the future! Clint was extremely helpful, was always available and easy to get on the phone to discuss details of the project!"
— Chris B."Can't say enough about the great job these guys do! Very knowledgeable and the owner takes the time to explain all the different options along with the pros and cons of each. They can do it all from simple installations to elaborate custom projects. The best part is they don't take short-cuts--they do quality work that will last. Highly recommend!"
— JC W."This company is awesome! They worked with 6 total homeowners to put in 6ft shared cedar fencing. They were very fast in removing old fencing, correcting some placement issues to make our yards easier to mow, and installing the new fencing. I love my new fence and have had multiple compliments from people in our neighborhood. I would highly recommend this company!"
