How long does a wood fence typically last?

Cedar and redwood fences can last 20-30 years with proper care. Pressure-treated pine typically lasts 15-20 years. Regular maintenance like staining or sealing and prompt repairs help extend your fence's life.

Should I stain or paint my wood fence?

Stain is usually the better choice for wood fences. Stain penetrates the wood and allows it to breathe, which helps prevent moisture problems. It also shows off the natural wood grain and requires less maintenance than paint.

Can wood fences handle Cupertino's climate?

Yes, wood fences do very well in Cupertino's Mediterranean climate. Cedar and redwood are naturally resistant to rot and decay. With proper installation, adequate ground clearance, and regular maintenance, your wood fence will thrive in Cupertino's weather.

Wood Types & Styles We Offer

Not all wood is created equal. We work with several wood types, each with its own characteristics and benefits. Here are the most popular options for Cupertino homeowners:

Cedar

The premium choice for wood fencing. Cedar naturally resists rot, decay, and insect damage thanks to its natural oils. It has a beautiful grain pattern and a pleasant aroma. Cedar weathers to an attractive silver-gray if left unstained, or it takes stain beautifully if you prefer color. It costs more upfront but often lasts longer than other woods.

Redwood

Another excellent rot-resistant option with stunning natural color. Redwood's rich tones range from light amber to deep burgundy. Like cedar, it contains natural preservatives that help it stand up to California's climate. Redwood is particularly popular in the Bay Area and adds real elegance to any property.

Pressure-Treated Pine

The most budget-friendly option. Pine is chemically treated to resist rot and insects, making it a practical choice for those watching costs. While not as naturally decay-resistant as cedar or redwood, properly maintained pressure-treated pine can last 15-20 years. It's ideal when you plan to paint or stain your fence.

As for styles, we build everything from classic picket fences to tall privacy fences, decorative lattice-top designs, horizontal slat fences, and custom configurations. We'll help you choose the style that fits your property, budget, and purpose. Looking for something different? We also install vinyl fences and aluminum fences for those who want low-maintenance alternatives.

Keeping Your Wood Fence Looking Great

A wood fence needs some care to look its best and last as long as possible. The good news is that maintenance isn't complicated or time-consuming. Here's what we recommend:

Clean annually: Wash your fence with a garden hose and mild soap to remove dirt and prevent mildew
Stain or seal every 2-3 years: This protects wood from moisture and UV damage while enhancing its appearance
Inspect regularly: Look for loose boards, rusty nails, or signs of rot so you can address problems early
Keep vegetation clear: Trim plants and grass away from fence boards to allow air circulation
Fix damage promptly: Replace broken boards as soon as you notice them to prevent further deterioration

With proper care, a quality wood fence can last 15-20 years or more. And if you ever need repairs, our fence repair and replacement services are here to help keep your fence in top shape.
