Benefits of Cedar Fencing

Natural Resistance to Decay

Cedar wood contains natural oils and acids that act as preservatives, helping to resist decay, insect infestation, and moisture penetration. This built-in durability makes cedar fencing ideal for withstanding seasonal weather changes, maintaining structural strength and appearance without the need for chemical treatments or frequent repair. Its resilience provides a long-lasting fencing solution.

Enhanced Privacy and Security

Solid cedar panels and board-on-board construction offer full visual coverage and strong physical barriers. These designs effectively keep pets and children enclosed while deterring unwanted access. They also minimize outside noise and shield against prying eyes, creating a private outdoor space where homeowners can relax, entertain, or garden in peace without external disruptions.

Aesthetic Harmony with Local Homes

Cedar’s natural grain and warm tones complement a wide range of architectural styles. Whether paired with classic, modern, or craftsman designs, cedar fencing adds charm and cohesion to the property. Over time, it develops a beautiful silver-gray patina that enhances rustic character while maintaining harmony with landscaping and exterior finishes.

Environmentally Friendly Material

Cedar is a renewable resource and often harvested using sustainable forestry practices. It does not require toxic treatments, reducing environmental impact during production and over its lifespan. For eco-conscious property owners, cedar provides a green alternative that balances environmental responsibility with aesthetic and structural performance in both residential and commercial settings.

Long-Term Performance with Minimal Maintenance

Cedar naturally resists warping, bowing, and weather damage. With only occasional cleaning or optional staining, it remains durable year after year. Even left untreated, it gracefully ages without compromising strength. This low-maintenance characteristic makes it an ideal choice for busy homeowners who want a fence that looks good and performs reliably with little effort.

Flexible Design Options

Cedar’s workability allows for a wide variety of fence styles, including lattice tops, shadowbox, picket, and full-privacy panels. It can be shaped, spaced, and customized to fit different functions such as decorative edging, safety enclosures, or noise reduction. This adaptability makes cedar fencing suitable for nearly any layout or aesthetic preference.

Our Cedar Fence Services

Full Cedar Fence Installation

We handle complete cedar fence installations, starting with a consultation and layout assessment. Our process includes setting posts, assembling custom panels, and applying finishing touches. The result is a high-quality, attractive fence built to fit your specific property lines, design vision, and local code requirements, using premium-grade cedar for lasting results.

Fence Replacement Services

Old, worn, or failing fences are safely removed and replaced with durable cedar systems. We responsibly dispose of outdated materials and upgrade your property with a strong, visually appealing cedar fence. This service restores both the protective function and curb appeal of your fencing, bringing peace of mind and a refreshed appearance.

Custom Cedar Gates and Entrances

We design and build cedar gates that blend seamlessly with surrounding fence lines. Each gate—whether a standard walk-through or wide-entry drive gate—is built with precision joinery and heavy-duty hardware. Our custom designs enhance security while serving as functional, attractive entry points that match the surrounding landscape and architectural elements.

Board-on-Board and Shadowbox Style Builds

Our board-on-board and shadowbox fence builds offer a balance of privacy, ventilation, and visual depth. These styles create a layered appearance that looks good on both sides of the fence, while still blocking sightlines. They are ideal for clients seeking greater privacy with an elevated design sensibility and functional airflow.

Post Replacement and Reinforcement

We repair leaning or deteriorating fence posts by replacing them with new, pressure-treated or cedar options. For fences not ready for full replacement, reinforced posts restore strength and alignment. This service is ideal for extending the lifespan of an existing fence and preventing future structural failures due to ground shifting or decay.

Fence Staining and Weatherproofing

Our staining and sealing treatments protect cedar fences from moisture, UV damage, and mildew growth. Available in a range of colors and finishes, these applications enhance the wood’s appearance and prolong its integrity. Routine sealing can prevent graying and extend the fence’s beauty, reducing the likelihood of early wear or surface damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a cedar fence typically last?

    Cedar fences generally last 15 to 30 years when properly installed and maintained. Dayton’s seasonal climate may cause faster wear if left untreated, but routine inspections and optional sealing extend the lifespan considerably.

  • Is staining necessary for a cedar fence?

    Staining is optional but recommended. While cedar ages well naturally, applying a UV-resistant stain helps preserve its color and enhances moisture protection, particularly in areas with strong sun exposure or prolonged rainfall.

  • How tall can a residential cedar fence be in Dayton?

    Most residential fences can be up to 6 feet tall without special permits in Dayton. For anything taller or placed in front yards, zoning and HOA guidelines may require additional approvals or setbacks.

  • Does cedar fencing require concrete post setting?

    Yes, we typically install cedar fence posts in concrete for added stability. This is especially important in Minnesota’s freeze-thaw zones, where soil shifts can otherwise compromise the post alignment over time.


  • How long does installation usually take?

    A standard cedar fence installation takes between 2 to 5 days, depending on yard size, terrain complexity, and weather conditions. We always aim to minimize disruption while delivering efficient, professional results.

  • Will cedar fencing turn gray over time?

    Yes, untreated cedar naturally weathers to a silver-gray patina. This aging is cosmetic and does not affect durability. Staining can prevent graying if a fresh, warm tone is preferred long-term.

  • Can cedar fencing handle high winds?

    Yes, cedar fences—especially shadowbox or spaced picket styles—allow airflow that reduces wind pressure. For open lots in Dayton, we recommend reinforced posts and appropriate spacing to withstand storm gusts.

  • Is cedar fencing a good option for pets?

    Absolutely. Cedar fencing can be customized in height and spacing to safely enclose dogs and other animals. Solid panel options also reduce distractions from passersby, helping to calm excitable pets.
