Wood Fence Installation in Orlando, FL
Custom-built wood fences designed to handle Florida's sandy soil, subtropical humidity, and everything Central Florida's climate throws at them.
Wood Fence Installation in Orlando, FL
Wood fencing is still the most popular choice we install across Orlando, and for good reason. A well-built wood fence adds immediate curb appeal, gives you real privacy, and works with just about every property style from the charming bungalows in College Park to the newer construction out in Lake Nona. We install cedar, pressure-treated pine, and premium wood species throughout Orange County and the surrounding areas, and every fence we build is engineered for the specific soil and climate conditions here in Central Florida.
Florida's sandy soil makes fence post installation trickier than most people realize. Posts that aren't set deep enough or packed correctly will shift and lean within a year or two, especially after the heavy rains we get during hurricane season from June through November. Our crews set every post in concrete at the proper depth and account for the sandy soil's drainage and shifting characteristics. We've been doing this long enough to know that cutting corners on post depth in Florida's soil means you'll be calling someone back out for repairs way sooner than you should.

HOA guidelines vary wildly across Orlando neighborhoods. Winter Park and Dr. Phillips tend to favor traditional wood picket and shadowbox styles, while communities in Lake Nona and Horizon West often have very specific height and setback requirements. We handle the HOA approval paperwork on every project and make sure your fence meets both neighborhood covenants and Orange County zoning codes.

What We Offer
Our wood fence installation services cover everything you need for your Orlando property.
Real Lumber, Not Junk
We source western red cedar and high-grade pressure-treated southern yellow pine from regional suppliers. Every board is hand-selected to minimize warping and knot defects, which matters a lot in Florida's heat and humidity.
Deep-Set Post Installation
Florida's sandy soil can shift and erode with heavy rainfall throughout the year. We set posts a minimum of 36 inches deep in concrete footings to prevent leaning and shifting that plagues shallow installations.
Custom Design Options
Board-on-board, shadowbox, dog-ear, flat-top, lattice-top — we build them all. Whether your College Park cottage needs a 4-foot picket fence or your Dr. Phillips home needs a 6-foot privacy wall, we match the style to the property.
Stain & Seal Protection
Florida's intense UV exposure and year-round humidity will gray out and warp unprotected wood within a season. We offer professional-grade stain and sealant application at install so your fence looks great from day one.
HOA Compliance Handling
We work with HOAs across Orlando daily, from Windermere to Laureate Park. We review your community's architectural guidelines before we design anything and handle the submittal process so you're not chasing paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about wood fence installation in Orlando, FL.
How long does a wood fence last in Orlando's climate?
A properly installed and maintained wood fence in Orlando typically lasts 15–20 years for pressure-treated pine and 20–25 years for cedar. The biggest factor is maintenance — staining or sealing every 2–3 years makes a huge difference. Our post on wood fence maintenance in FL covers exactly what's needed season by season.
Do I need a permit for a wood fence in Orlando?
In most cases, yes. Orange County requires a permit for fences, and there are specific rules about height, setback from the street, and placement near intersections. We handle the permit process for every job. Read our full rundown on fence permits in Orlando for the details.
What type of wood holds up best here in Florida?
Western red cedar is the top performer for our climate because of its natural resistance to rot and insects. Pressure-treated southern yellow pine is the budget-friendly option and still holds up well with regular maintenance. We don't recommend untreated pine or spruce — they break down fast in Florida's humidity.
Can you match an existing fence style for a partial replacement?
Yes. We do partial replacements and extensions all the time. We'll match the board style, height, and spacing of your existing fence as closely as possible. If sections are too far gone, we can also handle full fence repair to get everything looking uniform again.
