Cedar Fencing in Chicago - The Gold Standard for Wood Fences
Naturally beautiful, incredibly durable, and perfectly suited for Chicago's demanding climate.
Get My Free EstimateWhen Chicago homeowners want the absolute best in wood fencing, they choose Cedar. Standard pine fences often struggle to survive the drastic temperature swings, humid summers, and freezing winters of Illinois without constant, intensive maintenance. Cedar is different. It contains natural oils that act as a built-in defense against rot, decay, and insect damage. If you live in a historic neighborhood like Old Town or a leafy suburb like Hyde Park, a Cedar fence doesn't just provide privacy—it elevates the entire aesthetic of your property. We specialize in custom Cedar fence installations that showcase the rich, warm tones of the wood while providing a robust, long-lasting boundary for your home.
Why Choose Us for Cedar Fencing in Chicago?
Premium Grade Materials
We source only high-grade Western Red Cedar or White Cedar. We don't cut corners with lower-grade woods that have excessive knots or structural weaknesses. Your fence will look pristine from day one.
Expert Craftsmanship
Cedar requires specific handling. We use specialized fasteners that won't bleed or stain the wood over time, and we construct the fence on-site to perfectly match the grade of your Chicago property.
What Our Service Includes
A Cedar fence project with us is a premium experience from start to finish. We begin with a detailed consultation at your Chicago home. We'll examine your property lines, discuss your privacy needs, and show you different Cedar styles—from classic vertical pickets to modern horizontal slat designs that are increasingly popular in areas like West Town and Bucktown.
Once you approve the design, we manage the entire permitting process with the City of Chicago. Our installation team arrives and begins by setting heavy-duty, pressure-treated posts deep below the frost line (Cedar is used for the visible pickets and rails, but treated pine is often used for ground-contact posts for maximum lifespan).
The Cedar boards are then individually attached using stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners to prevent unsightly rust streaks. We ensure perfectly straight lines and secure gates with premium hardware. Finally, we provide detailed instructions on how to seal and maintain your new Cedar fence so it ages gracefully.
