Wood Privacy Fence Installation in Little Rock, AR

A well-built wood privacy fence Little Rock homeowners can count on has to do more than look good on install day. It has to stand up to Arkansas humidity, summer storms rolling out of the Ouachitas, and that red clay soil that swells when it's wet and cracks when it's dry. Premier Fence & Deck builds wood privacy fences across Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Bryant, Conway, and Ward, and we set every post like it's going to be there for the next twenty years.

Why choose a wood privacy fence for your Little Rock home

Wood is still the most popular privacy fence material in Central Arkansas, and there's a reason for that. It blocks sightlines from the street, softens road noise, gives kids and dogs a safe backyard, and costs less up front than vinyl or ornamental steel. Cedar and pressure-treated pine also handle our climate well when they're installed right — meaning proper post depth below the frost line, gravel at the base of every post, and hardware that won't rust out after two humid summers.

We also account for the local soil. Red clay holds water, so posts set without drainage tend to heave in winter freeze-thaw cycles. We drill deeper, use the right concrete mix, and pitch the base so water sheds instead of pooling.

Materials and style options

• Pressure-treated pine — the budget-friendly workhorse. Ground-contact rated pickets and posts, typically 6 ft tall in a dog-ear or flat-top style. Great option if you want privacy without the premium price.

• Western red cedar — naturally rot- and insect-resistant, holds stain beautifully, and ages to a silver-gray if left untreated. A common pick for board-on-board and shadowbox builds.

• Styles we build — standard 6 ft privacy, 8 ft privacy where code allows, board-on-board, shadowbox, horizontal slat, and capped/topped styles with a 2x6 rail and lattice or trim topper.

We use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners, steel post options for corner and gate posts, and heavy-duty gate hardware that won't sag after the first summer.

Little Rock permit note

Little Rock does not require a building permit for residential fences seven feet or shorter, but city code caps fence height at 4 ft between the front setback and the street and 8 ft elsewhere in residential zones. HOA rules can be stricter, and we'll help you check yours before we build. Always call 811 for utility locates — we handle that as part of the job.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a wood privacy fence last in Arkansas?
A properly installed pressure-treated fence lasts 15–20 years. Cedar can go 20–25 years, longer if it's stained every few years.

Should I stain or seal my new fence?
Yes, but wait 3–6 months so the wood dries and any mill glaze weathers off. A semi-transparent stain every 2–3 years doubles the life of the fence.

Can you match my neighbor's existing fence?
Usually, yes. Bring us a photo and we'll match style, height, and picket spacing where possible.
