Many older Canton lots have mature trees, alleys, and uneven ground. A wood fence there has to follow the ground, so we stick-build every section on site and can rack, step, or contour it to the slope.
Tighter backyards in Canton’s older neighborhoods and historic districts call for privacy and pet containment, and wood delivers both in pressure-treated pine or Western red cedar, in board-on-board, shadowbox, and horizontal styles.
Our wood line runs from board-on-board, shadowbox, and horizontal privacy to dog-ear picket and cap-and-trim, with 3-rail, 4-rail, crossbuck, round rail, and split rail for open sight lines up to 5 feet. How tall a privacy or picket style can go depends on your city’s limit. In Canton, full-height privacy styles go up to 8 feet in the rear yard and 6 feet in side yards, while the front yard calls for picket styles at 4 feet or lower.

We understand that your fence is as strong as the posts that are used to build your fence. This is why we take great care to use the strongest posts, free of defects. We not only offer heavy-duty wood posts but also offer metal posts and PostMaster+ post options for an even stronger post.
All posts are installed to ASTM standards or higher to ensure that your posts last longer and your fence stands for years to come.
