Choose a cedar fence that feels right at home.

A practical guide to privacy, picket details and gate layout for your yard.

Decide what your yard needs

Think about how you use the space. A fence can define a boundary, make a backyard feel more private and create a clear entrance. Start with those needs before choosing the look.

Look at the picket arrangement

A standard vertical picket layout offers a familiar residential appearance. Overlapping picket arrangements can change the look and screening. Ask to see the proposed layout and understand how natural wood movement can affect gaps over time.

Plan the gate early

Consider the people and equipment that need to pass through. Allow room for the gate swing and think about the path between your home, driveway and backyard. Gate dimensions and hardware should be part of the written scope.

Check the setting

Choose a design that works with your home and confirm applicable HOA restrictions and local requirements. Bring inspiration photos to a free estimate conversation so Amigos Cedar Fence can discuss your preferred appearance.
