The most popular choice for Richmond homeowners. Southern yellow pine treated with chemical preservatives to resist rot, decay, and insect damage in Virginia's humid climate.
Richmond Climate Tip: Requires staining or sealing every 2-3 years to combat Virginia's humidity and seasonal temperature swings.
Premium natural wood with built-in oils that resist rot and insects. Beautiful natural grain and aromatic properties.
Premium Value: Cedar's natural oils provide superior resistance to Richmond's humidity without chemical treatments. Beautiful silver-gray patina over time.
Solid board-on-board or tongue-and-groove construction. Complete privacy for backyards in Brandermill and Woodlake.
The "good neighbor" fence. Attractive from both sides with alternating pickets. Popular in Glen Allen and Mechanicsville.
Classic American charm. Decorative front yard fencing with scalloped, dog-ear, or gothic cap styles.
Richmond's humid subtropical climate (85%+ summer humidity, temperature swings from 20°F to 95°F) creates unique challenges for wood fencing. Proper maintenance extends lifespan from 10 years to 20+ years.
Pressure treated wood must cure for 3-6 months before painting. Painting too early traps moisture inside the wood, leading to premature rot—a frequent issue in Richmond's humidity.
Use semi-transparent or solid-color oil-based stains that penetrate the wood rather than form a surface film. These allow the wood to "breathe," releasing trapped moisture while providing UV and water protection.
Allow pressure treated wood to cure. Power wash if needed in fall.
Apply first coat of penetrating stain (spring). Check for loose boards.
Re-stain to maintain water resistance. Inspect and tighten gate hardware.
Heavily wooded areas in Tuckahoe and western Henrico see frequent mold growth on north-facing fences due to limited sun exposure.
Solution: Annual cleaning with oxygen bleach (not chlorine) removes mold without damaging wood fibers. Apply mold-resistant stain additives in shaded areas.
Laser-leveled posts and professional-grade hardware. No sagging gates, no leaning sections.
36-inch post holes with concrete collars resist frost heave and soil shifting common in Richmond clay.
Magnetic nail sweeps and power-washed driveways. We treat your property like our own.
Yes. Wood fence installation remains one of the most common choices in Richmond because it offers solid privacy, flexible styling, and a lower upfront cost than vinyl or aluminum. The tradeoff is maintenance: wood performs best here when it is installed correctly and stained on schedule.
Pressure-treated pine is the most common value-focused choice, while cedar appeals to homeowners who want a premium natural look. In Richmond humidity, both benefit from drainage-aware installation and a realistic sealing or staining plan.
Many HOA communities allow wood fencing, but often limit the height, layout, or stain color. Some prefer shadowbox or natural-toned fences over unfinished stockade styles. Evergreen helps align the design with neighborhood expectations before installation.
