Sandy Springs Fencing builds wood privacy fences for homes and small commercial lots. Here at Sandy Springs Fencing, we install cedar and pine lines that close off a yard and finish the property edge.

​

A wood privacy fence is a full-height run of boards set tight enough that neighbors cannot see through. Most backyard jobs here are six feet tall. We also build shorter decorative stretches and taller screens where the lot and local rules allow. Horizontal boards, board-on-board, and shadowbox are all in play when the house and the budget match.

​

Cedar is a common pick because it holds up outdoors and looks finished without heavy stain on day one. Pine is more affordable when you plan to stain or paint after install. Neither product is magic. Posts, hardware, and how close the boards sit to wet soil decide how the line ages.

​

We handle layout, posts, panels, and gates. The visit comes first. We measure the run, mark corners, look at slope, and find problems a phone photo hides: roots, rock, downspouts, AC pads, and old terminals that should not be reused.

​

What is a wood privacy fence?

​

It uses vertical or horizontal boards on posts. Board-on-board overlaps so gaps do not open as the lumber dries. Shadowbox lets a little air move while still screening the yard. A standard side-by-side pattern is the simplest look and the one most people picture.

​

How long does it last?

​

A well-built line lasts many years when posts are set correctly and boards stay off standing water. Cedar usually needs less babysitting than pine. Rain, shade, and whether you stain all change the timeline. We do not quote a fantasy number. We tell you what this yard will do to the material.

​

Do I need a permit?

​

Many projects need a permit and must follow height and setback rules. Front yards are often tighter than backyards. HOA streets can limit style and color. Bring those papers to the visit.

​

What does the job look like on install day?

​

We protect the lawn where we can, set posts, build or hang the run, then hang the gate and check the swing. You get a written quote before that starts. If we find buried junk or a surprise utility mark, we stop and talk before we keep digging.

​

People compare wood to vinyl because they want privacy without a stain sprayer in their weekend plans. Wood wins on warmth and on matching older houses. Vinyl wins on rinse-and-forget. We will quote both when you are torn. We will not talk you into the one that is only easier for the crew.

Gates are where a nice run gets cheapened if you rush. A wide opening needs the right frame, hinges, and latch. A walk gate that sags in six months is not a small miss. We build the opening as part of the line, not as an afterthought.

​

If you already have a wood line, look at the posts first. Replaceable boards on rotten posts waste money. Resetting a few posts and swapping a bad section can be enough. Full replacement is for when the structure is gone.

Aftercare is simple and easy to skip. Keep soil and mulch off the boards. Aim sprinklers away from the base. Stain when the surface is dry and due, not when the neighbor happens to be staining. We will tell you what product you have so you are not guessing at the store.

​

Grade is the quiet problem on a lot of streets in this area. A line that looks flat from the kitchen window can drop a foot along the side yard. We step the run or trim panels so you do not get a triangular gap at the bottom. That takes more layout time. It is why a “price per foot” from a text message is rarely the real bid.

​

Trees and roots belong in the first conversation. We can work around a trunk. We cannot pretend a root ball is soft dirt. If a post has to move six inches, the whole rhythm of panels changes. Better to see that on the visit.

Shared lines need a clear owner. If the existing timber sits on the neighbor’s side, we need you to settle that before we pull it. We build on the property we are hired to work.

​

Hardware should match the use. A pool gate is not a side-yard gate. Latches, closers, and hinge size are part of the spec. Ask for them on the quote so they do not appear as extras later.

​

When you compare wood to other products, look at your own habits. If stain never happens at your house, say so. We can bid a different material. If you like the look of boards and you will maintain them, wood is still the right call for a lot of backyards.

​

Sandy Springs Fencing treats a backyard privacy job like a measured trade, not a weekend pile of lumber. Call the number above when you want the line walked and a number that matches the yard you actually have.

Crew size and start time go on the schedule we give you. Parking and pet plans are on you. We need a path to the line and a place to stage material. Tight lots take extra trips. That is normal, not a problem, if we know before the truck rolls.

​

We do not leave a pile of offcuts for you to figure out. Haul-off should be on the paper. If you want to keep extra boards for future repairs, say that at the start so we set them aside.
