Fast, Clean, No-Dig FencinG
Now Offering No-Dig Wood Fence Installation (Alongside Traditional Methods)
Looking for a faster, cleaner way to install your wood fence in the Western Suburbs of Chicagoland? At Midwest Legacy, we now offer no-dig installation as an alternative to traditional dig-and-concrete methods.
This approach uses steel post anchors that are driven directly into the ground—eliminating the need for excavation or concrete curing. It’s a durable, efficient solution that works well for many residential properties, especially those with established lawns or tight landscaping.
Why Consider the No-Dig Option?
- Less disruption to your yard – No large holes or soil piles
- Quicker installation timeline – Fewer delays from weather or concrete curing
- Clean finish – Ideal for finished landscapes or manicured lawns
- Strong, long-lasting results – Built to hold up in Aurora’s climate
- Fully code-compliant – We’ll determine if your property qualifies during your consultation
No-dig wood fence installation isn’t suitable for every yard, but when it is, it offers major time and labor savings. We’ll assess your site, goals, and soil conditions to help you choose the best method for a strong, beautiful result.
Wood Fence Options We Offer
We provide a variety of wood fence styles to suit different needs and preferences:
Classic Privacy Fence
Our most popular option, the privacy fence creates a secure, secluded space for your family to enjoy. Available in heights ranging from 6 to 8 feet, these solid fences effectively block views while adding a clean, refined look to your property.
Ranch Rail Fence
Perfect for defining boundaries without blocking views, our ranch rail fences offer a rustic, open design that’s ideal for larger properties, front yards, or anywhere you want to establish borders while maintaining an open feel.
Picket Fence
The quintessential American fence, our picket designs add charm and character to any home. Available in various heights and picket styles, these fences define your space while maintaining an inviting appearance.
Shadow Fence
A perfect balance between privacy and airflow, the shadowbox fence features alternating boards on either side of the rails—creating a layered look that’s both attractive and functional. It’s a great choice if you want privacy without a completely solid wall, and it looks great from both sides of the fence.
Custom Wood Fences
Have something specific in mind? We specialize in custom wood fence designs that perfectly match your vision. From unique lattice patterns to special post caps and decorative elements, we can create a one-of-a-kind fence that reflects your style.
Wood Types We Recommend
We carefully select the best wood materials for our fences, taking into consideration Illinois’ climate and your specific needs:
Cedar
Cedar remains our most recommended wood for fencing due to its natural resistance to rot, decay, and insects. Its aromatic properties naturally repel pests, while the straight grain helps the wood resist warping over time. Many homeowners appreciate cedar’s beautiful reddish hue that can either be maintained or allowed to weather naturally to a distinguished silver-gray patina. With proper maintenance, cedar fences typically enjoy a longevity of 15-30 years, making them an excellent investment for your property.
Pressure-Treated Pine
Pressure-treated pine provides an economical option without compromising on quality. The chemical treatment process protects the wood against insects and rot, ensuring good durability even in our challenging Illinois climate. Despite its affordability, pressure-treated pine delivers quality results with a typical 15+ year lifespan when properly maintained. Its versatility makes it suitable for various fence styles, from privacy panels to decorative designs.
Premium Hardwoods
For those seeking the ultimate in luxury and longevity, our premium hardwood options deliver exceptional durability and strength that stand the test of time. These select woods feature distinctive grain patterns and rich coloration that cannot be replicated with other materials. Their superior resistance to the elements makes them ideal for Illinois’ variable climate conditions. With their unmatched elegance and sophisticated appearance, premium hardwood fences offer generational longevity when properly maintained.
