Tall, solid wood privacy fences built with set posts, rails, pickets and matching gates for backyards that need seclusion, safety and a finished look.
A wood privacy fence is the classic answer when a yard needs to feel like a room of its own. Solid pickets block sight lines from neighbors and the street, keep pets and children inside and give plants and patios a calm backdrop. Homeowners in Nashville ask for privacy fences around new decks, pools, play areas and corner lots where the yard has become too public.
We begin with a Free Estimate and walk the property line, noting slope, trees, utilities, gates, existing fences and any HOA rules. We lay out the run, set posts at consistent spacing and depth, frame the rails, hang the pickets and build gates with proper bracing and hardware. You see the height, style, wood type and gate locations in writing before work begins, and we explain what to confirm with your city or neighborhood. Think about the ground as well as the fence. A yard that slopes, holds water or has big tree roots changes post spots, bottom gaps and gate swing, and a few minutes of planning avoids surprises on build day. We also suggest deciding early which side of the fence faces out, whether you want a cap rail and how you will reach your meters, since those choices are simple to build in and awkward to add later.
The posts carry the whole fence, so we set them in holes dug to a sound depth with concrete or compacted gravel, plumb and in line, and let them set before rails go on.
Rails are fixed between or across the posts and pickets are fastened with corrosion-resistant screws or nails, spaced so the wood can move with the seasons.
Gates get heavy frames, diagonal bracing and strong hinges so they swing freely and resist sagging for many seasons.
We trim caps, check lines and heights and haul away debris, then explain staining or sealing so the fence ages evenly.

Cedar and pressure-treated pine are the common choices. Cedar is naturally rot resistant and warm in color, while treated pine is sturdy and economical. We compare both for your yard.
Many backyard fences take a few days once materials arrive, and larger or sloped jobs take longer. Weather can add time.
A survey or clear boundary markers help prevent disputes. We recommend confirming the line before work begins and can talk through your options.
Staining or sealing helps wood weather evenly. Many owners wait a short time for new boards to dry, and we explain the timing.
