Wood Fence FAQ’s

What type of wood do you use?

At Sierra Fence, we use only premium Western Red Cedar (WRC) pickets — never imported Japanese cedar or low-grade pine. WRC’s natural oils help it resist rot, insects, and moisture, making it far more durable in Central Texas conditions. While pine is less expensive, it’s also more prone to warping, splitting, and frequent maintenance. Choosing Western Red Cedar means your fence will look better, last longer, and require less upkeep — and that’s the quality Sierra Fence is known for.

How do you handle sloped or uneven terrain?

We build fences that follow the natural grade of your property using either a stair-stepped or follow-slope installation method. This ensures your fence remains level, secure, and visually consistent — even on challenging or uneven ground — while maintaining full privacy and a professional finish.

Is removal of my old fence included

Yes — fence demolition and haul-off are always included in your quoted price unless otherwise noted. Our team handles complete removal and responsible disposal of your old fence materials before installation begins, ensuring your property is clean, prepped, and ready for your new Sierra Fence.

How soon can installation begin after I accept my quote?

Project timelines vary by season, but most installations begin within a few weeks of approval. We’ll provide an estimated start date and keep you updated every step of the way.

How long will my cedar fence last?

With proper care, a cedar fence can last 15–25 years or more. We recommend professional staining and sealing through our trusted local partners to extend the life and beauty of your fence.

How should I maintain my wood fence?

Cedar fences are naturally durable and easy to maintain. To keep yours looking its best, we recommend minimizing direct sprinkler or irrigation spray against the wood to prevent moisture damage over time. A quick visual inspection once or twice a year to check for loose fasteners or soil contact is usually all that’s needed. For added protection and color retention, occasional professional staining or sealing can help extend your fence’s life — though it’s not required for structural integrity.

Can I add staining later if I don’t do it right away?

Yes, absolutely. We recommend waiting about 4–6 weeks after installation before staining to allow the cedar to fully dry. Our team can connect you with trusted local partners for staining and sealing when you’re ready.
