Wood Privacy Fences for Mooresville & Lake Norman Homes
Cedar and pressure-treated privacy fencing built for Carolina humidity, red clay, and summer storms.
A wood privacy fence is still the most-requested fence around Lake Norman, and for good reason: it gives a backyard real privacy, it suits nearly every neighborhood style from new subdivisions to wooded lake lots, and it costs less per foot than vinyl or ornamental metal.
We build wood privacy fences in pressure-treated pine and cedar, in traditional vertical board, shadowbox (board-on-board), and modern horizontal styles. Every fence is laid out on your actual property lines, set on posts sized for the height, and finished with clean, straight top lines.
Wood Privacy options
Vertical dog-ear, flat-top, shadowbox / board-on-board, horizontal slat, and capped-and-trimmed designs.
4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft are most common; taller where your town or HOA allows it.
Pressure-treated pine for value, cedar for a richer look and natural rot resistance.
Matching walk gates and double drive gates, framed to resist sagging.
Built for local conditions
Red clay holds water, and wood that sits in wet soil rots first at the base. We set posts deep enough for the height and the soil, keep boards off the ground, and recommend sealing or staining after the wood dries out — especially on shaded lots near the water where boards stay damp longer.

Wood Privacy fence FAQs
How long does a wood fence last around Lake Norman?
A well-built pressure-treated fence typically lasts 10–15 years in our climate, and cedar often longer. Sealing or staining every few years and keeping soil and mulch off the boards makes the biggest difference.
Do I need a permit for a wood privacy fence?
It depends on the town or county and on the height. We check the local rules and your HOA requirements for your address and handle the paperwork when a permit is needed.
Should I choose horizontal or vertical boards?
Vertical boards are the classic, budget-friendly choice. Horizontal boards give a modern look that fits many newer Lake Norman homes but use more material and need closer post spacing.
