Natural Beauty That Stands Up to the Gulf Coast

A wood fence is the most popular fencing choice in Gulf Breeze for good reason. Nothing matches the warmth, character, and natural beauty of real wood. Whether you are looking for full backyard privacy, a charming picket fence for your front yard, or a rustic boundary marker for your acreage, wood gives you the timeless aesthetic and versatility that other materials simply cannot replicate.

We work with three proven wood types to suit every budget and preference. Western red cedar is our premium recommendation for Gulf Coast properties because of its natural oils that resist rot, decay, and insect damage without chemical treatment. Pressure-treated southern yellow pine is the most popular and affordable option, infused with preservatives that protect against moisture, fungus, and termites in Florida's humid climate. For customers who want something extra special, we also offer premium hardwoods like cypress, which is native to the region and naturally resistant to decay.

Every wood fence we install uses concrete-set posts, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and proper spacing to handle wind loads and seasonal expansion. We can also apply professional-grade stains and sealants to extend the life of your fence and keep it looking great for years to come.

Wood Fence Styles We Install

Each style serves a different purpose. We will help you choose the one that fits your property and goals.

Privacy Fence

Six-foot tall with no gaps between boards. Available in dog-ear or flat-top styles, with horizontal or vertical board orientation. The most popular choice for backyards in Gulf Breeze and Pensacola.

Picket Fence

Three to four feet tall with evenly spaced pickets for a classic American look. Perfect for front yards, gardens, and defining property boundaries while keeping a welcoming, open feel.

Board on Board

Overlapping boards create a solid barrier with zero gaps from any angle. More wind-resistant than standard privacy fences. Attractive from both sides, making it a great choice for shared fence lines.

Split Rail

A rustic, ranch-style fence ideal for large properties and boundary marking. Two or three horizontal rails with no vertical pickets. Low cost, easy to install, and blends naturally into the landscape.

Why Wood Fencing Works in Florida

With the right materials and installation, a wood fence is an excellent long-term investment for Gulf Coast homeowners.

Natural Aesthetic

Wood has a warmth and texture that vinyl and metal cannot match. It complements the natural beauty of Gulf Breeze neighborhoods and can be stained to match any exterior.

Fully Customizable

Change the height, board width, spacing, top profile, and color. Wood is the only fencing material that gives you complete design freedom for a truly custom look.

Easy to Repair

Unlike vinyl or aluminum, individual wood boards and posts can be replaced without removing entire sections. This makes storm damage repairs faster, simpler, and more affordable.

Stainable and Sealable

A quality stain and sealant protects wood from UV damage, moisture, and mildew while enhancing the natural grain. We recommend reapplication every two to three years for optimal longevity.

Wood Fencing Questions

Answers to the most common questions we hear from Gulf Breeze homeowners about wood fences.

A properly installed and maintained wood fence typically lasts 15 to 20 years in Florida. Cedar and cypress fences often exceed 20 years because of their natural rot resistance. Pressure-treated pine averages 15 to 18 years. Regular staining and sealing every two to three years can significantly extend the lifespan of any wood fence, even in our humid Gulf Coast climate.

Western red cedar is the best overall choice for Gulf Breeze because its natural oils resist rot, insects, and moisture without chemical treatment. Pressure-treated southern yellow pine is the most cost-effective option and performs very well with proper maintenance. For a locally sourced alternative, bald cypress is naturally decay-resistant and grows throughout Northwest Florida.

We recommend power washing your fence once a year to remove mildew and dirt buildup. Apply a quality stain and sealant every two to three years to protect against UV damage and moisture. Inspect posts annually for signs of rot at the base, trim vegetation away from the fence line to promote airflow, and replace any damaged boards promptly to prevent further deterioration.

Yes, the City of Gulf Breeze and Santa Rosa County require permits for most fence installations. There are typically height restrictions (usually six feet for backyards, four feet for front yards) and setback requirements from property lines and easements. We handle the permitting process for you as part of our service, so you do not have to worry about paperwork or compliance issues.
