Some homeowners come to us focused on durability, others on curb appeal or low maintenance. As your fence installation takes shape, we help you weigh performance, appearance, and budget so the finished design supports how you live and use your outdoor space.

Why Homeowners Choose Cedar Fencing
Homeowners often choose cedar fencing because it naturally holds up well in outdoor environments. Its resistance to rot and insects makes it a reliable option for long-term residential fencing, while its warm, natural appearance works well with many home styles and landscapes. Some of the most common reasons homeowners choose cedar fencing include:
- A natural wood look that ages gracefully over time
- Strong performance in changing weather conditions
- Flexibility in design, height, and configuration
- Options that range from full privacy to decorative openness
Because cedar fencing can be built in several distinct styles, the material itself stays consistent while the final look, function, and level of privacy can vary significantly.
Cedar Fence Installation & Design Process
A quality cedar fence starts with thoughtful planning and professional installation. Rick’s works with homeowners to understand how their property is used, how the fence should function, and how it fits within the overall space.
Before installation begins, we account for layout, grade changes, drainage, and how cedar performs over time. During construction, our crews focus on proper post setting and consistent alignment — details that directly affect how a cedar fence looks and holds up in Northwest conditions.
This approach helps avoid common issues such as uneven panels, premature wear, or fences that don’t sit right on the property.
DIY Fence Options
Not every project requires full-service installation. For homeowners who prefer a hands-on approach, Rick’s also offers DIY cedar fence options.
DIY cedar fencing allows homeowners to purchase quality materials and complete their own project while still benefiting from guidance and product support.
