Wood & Privacy Fences in Ocala
A wood privacy fence is still the most popular way to close off a Marion County backyard, and for good reason — it gives you the most privacy per dollar of any fencing material, and it can be stained to whatever color fits your home. We install pressure-treated pine and cedar fencing in picket, board-on-board, and shadowbox styles, built with proper post depth and spacing so it stands up to Florida storms instead of leaning after the first hard summer.
Wood is a strong fit for horse-country lots too — split-rail and post-and-board styles are common for paddock lines and pasture fencing, and we build those alongside standard residential privacy runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pressure-treated pine privacy fencing generally runs $20 to $35 per linear foot installed, depending on height, board style, and whether the ground needs grading. We measure your exact fence line and put a firm number in writing before any work starts.
Pressure-treated southern yellow pine is the standard choice in Marion County because it resists rot and insects at a fraction of cedar's cost. Cedar has a nicer natural grain and smell but costs more and still needs periodic sealing in our humidity, so most homeowners here choose treated pine and stain it to the color they want.
We install dog-ear picket, flat-top picket, board-on-board (good-neighbor style with no gap on either side), and shadowbox fencing, in 4, 6, and 8-foot heights. Board-on-board is the most popular choice for full backyard privacy.
Plan on cleaning and resealing or restaining every 1 to 2 years to keep moisture out and the color from graying. Skipping this is the single biggest reason wood fences fail early here — UV and humidity work fast on unprotected boards.
We set posts a minimum of 24 inches into concrete footings, deeper on taller fences or sandy soil, spaced 8 feet on center for standard privacy fencing. Proper depth is what actually keeps a fence from leaning after the first big storm.
Usually, yes. We can match board width, spacing, cap style, and post size to extend or repair a section without the new run looking obviously different from the old one.
Most new wood fence installations and full replacements do require a permit, with rules on height and setback from the property line. We handle the application and inspection scheduling as part of the job.
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and provide documentation before the crew sets the first post on your property.
A standard 150 to 200 linear foot backyard fence usually takes 1 to 2 days once the layout is marked and materials are on-site. Longer rural runs or fences with multiple gates take longer.
Yes. We build stepped or racked (raked) wood fence sections to follow the grade of a sloped lot, which is common on some of the rolling properties around Ocala, without leaving a gap under the bottom board.
