Cedar Fence Installation in Ponchatoula, LA & the Northshore

Cedar privacy fences are the most common request we get across Ponchatoula, Hammond, and Covington. We build board-on-board and solid board privacy fences from 6 to 8 feet tall, set on pressure-treated posts with concrete footings sized for Louisiana’s soil conditions. Every panel is built to sit level and plumb so the fence looks clean and holds up straight for years.

Horizontal cedar fencing has become one of the most popular styles on the Northshore over the past several years — the clean lines look great on modern homes and updated properties. We build horizontal cedar fences with tight spacing for full privacy or with gaps for a more open look. See our horizontal cedar fence portfolio for completed examples.

Vertical cedar fencing is the classic Louisiana privacy fence style — traditional board-on-board construction that gives full privacy and a clean look from both sides of the fence. We cut boards to uniform height, set posts at consistent spacing, and build each section level so the fence line looks straight and professional. See our vertical cedar fence portfolio for completed examples.

Cedar picket fences are popular for front yards and garden borders — they define your property line without blocking the view and look great with the natural color of cedar. We build picket fences in standard and custom spacing, with flat or dog-eared tops, sized to match your property and HOA requirements.

A properly installed and maintained cedar fence typically lasts 15 to 20 years in Louisiana’s climate. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects — the USDA Forest Products Laboratory rates cedar among the most durable wood species for outdoor use. In Southeast Louisiana, periodic staining or sealing every 2 to 3 years will significantly extend the life of your cedar fence by protecting it from UV exposure and moisture.

Cedar outperforms pine for fencing in Louisiana’s climate. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant and insect-resistant without needing chemical treatment. Pine is more affordable upfront but requires pressure treatment to hold up outdoors and is more prone to warping and cracking in the heat and humidity. For a fence you want to last with minimal maintenance, cedar is the better investment. For a budget option where cost is the priority, treated pine works but will need more upkeep over time.

Cedar fence costs in Louisiana vary based on fence height, linear footage, style, and site conditions. A standard 6-foot board-on-board cedar privacy fence is the most common request and the most straightforward to quote.
