Why Choose a Wood Fence?

Wood fencing remains one of the most popular choices for Iowa homeowners — and for good reason. A well-built wood fence offers:

• Privacy — Solid board-on-board or privacy panel designs block sightlines from neighbors and the street
• Curb Appeal — Natural wood enhances the look of any home and complements Iowa's landscape
• Affordability — Wood is one of the most cost-effective fencing materials available
• Customization — Available in a wide range of heights, styles, and stains to match your vision
• Versatility — Works great for backyards, front yards, gardens, and pets

Wood Fence Styles We Install

Privacy Fence

Our most popular option. A 6-foot privacy fence gives you a fully enclosed backyard — perfect for families with kids or pets. Available in board-on-board or flat-top styles.

Picket Fence

A 3 or 4-foot picket fence adds classic charm to any Des Moines home. Great for front yards, gardens, and decorative borders.

Split Rail Fence

Ideal for larger properties and acreages. A rustic, open design that defines your property line without blocking views.

Dog Ear Fence

One of the most common styles in Iowa neighborhoods. Features a simple, clean cut at the top of each board for a classic, tidy look.

Custom Cedar Fences

Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects — making it an excellent choice for Iowa's varied climate. We can stain or seal your cedar fence to match your home perfectly.

Wood Fence Maintenance Tips for Iowa Homeowners

Iowa winters and humid summers can be tough on wood fences. Here's how to keep yours looking great:

• Stain or seal your fence every 2–3 years to protect against moisture and UV damage
• Inspect posts annually — ground contact is where rot most commonly starts
• Clear vegetation growing against the fence to improve airflow and reduce moisture
• Check for loose boards or nails after heavy storms

Fence America also offers fence repair services if your existing wood fence needs attention. Learn more about our fence repair services.
