Classic wood picket fences with pointed or dog-ear tops for front yards, gardens and cottages that want charm, a clear boundary and curb appeal.
A wood picket fence is about charm. The open spacing lets light, flowers and the house show through while a clear boundary keeps children, pets and foot traffic where you want them. It suits cottages, craftsman bungalows and front gardens, and it can be painted white, stained a soft color or left natural. Owners in Nashville choose picket fences for curb appeal and a friendly look.
We start with a Free Estimate and walk through height, picket style, spacing and gate placement. Posts are set at consistent spacing, rails are fastened and pickets are hung to a string line so the tops run straight even on sloped ground. We talk about paint versus stain, how often a painted fence needs touch-ups and how to keep plants and sprinklers from sitting against the wood. A picket fence works best when it is part of a larger picture: a gate that lines up with the front walk, plants that are not crowded against the wood and a paint or stain color that complements the trim. We can talk through those pieces so the fence supports the home instead of competing with it, and so the lines stay clean through every season.
Pointed, flat, gothic and dog-ear tops are all available, and spacing sets how open or protective the fence feels.
We follow the ground with stepped or racked sections and keep pickets plumb for a neat look.
Arched or straight walk gates in the same style tie the fence to the walkway.
Painted pickets look crisp and need touch-ups, while stain is lower maintenance. We help you choose.
