Cedar is hands-down the best choice for fencing in Seattle and Washington State. It naturally resists our wet weather, insects, and decay. Plus, it looks beautiful and can last for decades when properly maintained. We primarily use Western Red Cedar because it's locally sourced and perfectly adapted to our Pacific Northwest climate.

With proper installation and maintenance, a wooden fence in Seattle typically lasts 15-25 years. Our post-on-pipe installation method can extend this to 20-30 years by keeping the wood off the ground. Regular sealing and maintenance can help your fence last even longer in our rainy climate.

In Seattle's climate, we recommend cleaning your fence annually and resealing it every 2-3 years. Watch for any signs of water damage, especially during our wet seasons. Simple maintenance like removing debris, trimming nearby plants, and fixing loose boards quickly can significantly extend your fence's life.

Yes! We handle sloped yards all the time in Seattle. We can either "step" the fence down the slope or rake it to follow the contour of your land. Our team will assess your property and recommend the best approach for your specific situation.

In most Seattle areas, you need a permit for fences over 6 feet tall. Don't worry though - we handle all the permit paperwork for you! We're familiar with local regulations and will ensure your fence meets all city codes and requirements.
