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.
