About privacy fence installation

A privacy fence uses pickets set side by side with no intentional gap, creating a continuous visual barrier. Height, picket width and cap detail all change how the finished fence looks and how much it screens.

We will show you the practical differences between the common privacy configurations and note where terrain or grade will create gaps that need addressing.

Scope

What is included, and what to think about

Typical inclusions

  • Fence-line layout and grade review
  • Post setting and framing
  • Side-by-side picket installation
  • Optional cap and trim where specified
  • Gate installation where included in the estimate

Practical considerations

Things that genuinely affect the work, said plainly before you commit.

  • Wood moves with humidity, so small seasonal gaps between pickets are normal.
  • Sloped ground requires either stepped or racked panels; each looks different.
  • Local rules and HOA guidelines may limit fence height.
  • A privacy fence reduces sightlines; it is not a sound barrier.
