Wood Fence Installation in Central Iowa
Nothing beats the look of a real wood fence — and nobody in Des Moines, Ankeny, Johnston, West Des Moines, or Urbandale installs them better. We've been building cedar fences for over 35 years. Call us and we'll get you a free quote fast.
Cedar privacy fence
Our most popular wood fence. We build full cedar privacy fences that give you a solid, clean look and total backyard privacy. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, so it holds up well in Iowa weather without a lot of upkeep.
Whether you want a classic board-on-board design or a tight shadowbox pattern, we'll build it right the first time.
Post Master post system
We use the Post Master steel post system on our wood fence builds. It's a steel sleeve that goes in the ground and holds your wood post up off the soil — which means no rot at the base, ever. Your fence stays straighter, lasts longer, and holds up through Iowa winters without the posts shifting or leaning.
It's one of the things that separates a Fence America install from a basic fence job.
Horizontal fence
Horizontal fences are one of the most popular modern styles we install right now. The clean, side-by-side board layout gives your yard a sharp, contemporary look that stands out in any neighborhood.
We build horizontal fences with the same quality cedar and attention to detail as all our wood work — tight boards, solid posts, built to last.
Shadow board cap and trim
Want a fence that looks finished on both sides? Shadow board cap and trim gives you that polished, high-end look. The alternating board pattern lets air flow through while still giving you privacy — and the cap and trim detail along the top sets it apart from a basic privacy fence.
It's a great option if your fence faces the street or a neighbor's yard and you want it to look good from every angle.
Pre-stained wood fence options — Iowa's climate demands it
Iowa weather is hard on untreated wood. UV rays, spring rain, and winter freeze cycles break down raw cedar fast. That's why we offer pre-stained wood fencing — your fence arrives already protected, looking sharp from the first post we set. We offer four stain options to match your home and yard:
Natural cedar
A light, warm tone that lets the natural grain and color of the cedar show through. Clean and classic.
Cedar tone
A richer, deeper cedar color that enhances the wood's natural look while adding UV and moisture protection.
Clear Glow
A clear-finish stain that seals and protects the wood while keeping a natural, unstained appearance with a subtle sheen.
Leather wood
A warm, earthy brown tone — rich and deep, great for homes with brick, stone, or darker exterior colors.
