Wood Fences
Classic beauty and natural charm for your Carson property with expertly crafted wood fencing.
Nothing beats the timeless look of a wood fence. It adds warmth and character to your property in a way that other materials just can't match. Whether you want a classic picket fence for your front yard or a tall privacy fence for your backyard, wood gives you endless options for style and design. At GateMaster Carson Fencing, we build beautiful, durable wood fences that enhance your home's curb appeal and stand up to California's climate.
Why Choose a Wood Fence?
Wood fences are popular for good reasons. They're versatile, affordable, and they look great with any home style. You can paint or stain them any color you want, and they're easy to customize with different heights and designs. Wood also offers natural insulation, making your yard more comfortable and private.
In Carson, wood fences hold up well when properly maintained. We use quality lumber that's treated to resist rot and insects, so your investment lasts for years. Plus, if a section ever gets damaged, wood is one of the easiest fence materials to repair without replacing the entire structure.
Popular Wood Fence Styles
We install a variety of wood fence styles to match your needs and preferences:
- •Privacy fences: Solid boards with no gaps, perfect for creating secluded outdoor spaces
- •Picket fences: Classic white fences with spaced vertical boards, great for front yards

Not sure which style fits your home? We'll help you choose based on your property's architecture, your privacy needs, and your budget. And if you're looking for less maintenance, we can also show you our vinyl fence options that mimic the look of wood.
Best Wood Types for Carson Fences
The type of wood you choose affects how long your fence lasts and how much maintenance it needs. Here in Carson, we typically recommend cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine. Cedar and redwood naturally resist rot and insects, and they age beautifully with a silvery-gray patina if left unstained. Pressure-treated pine is more affordable and holds up well when properly sealed.
We'll help you pick the right wood for your budget and maintenance preferences. All our lumber is carefully selected for quality, and we inspect every piece before installation. This attention to detail is part of what makes professional fence installation worth the investment.
How to Keep Your Wood Fence Looking Great
Wood fences need some care to stay in good shape. Here's what we recommend: Clean your fence once or twice a year with a garden hose or pressure washer on low setting. Apply a fresh coat of stain or sealant every 2-3 years to protect against moisture and UV damage. Check for loose boards or nails and tighten them as needed. Trim plants and grass away from the fence to prevent moisture buildup.
With regular care, a quality wood fence can last 15-20 years or more. If you ever need help with maintenance or repairs, we offer fence care services to keep your investment protected.
