CEDAR FENCING — NORTHSHORE LOUISIANA
Cedar Fence Installation by Tony's
Cedar is the best-performing wood fence material in Southeast Louisiana — and the one Tony installs most on the Northshore. Naturally resistant to rot and insects, cedar holds up in the humidity, heat, and occasional flooding that pressure-treated pine can’t always survive long-term.
Tony builds cedar fences in 6-foot and 7-foot board-on-board, horizontal shadow box, and standard privacy configurations. Every post is set in concrete at the correct depth for Northshore clay soil. Every board is selected for tight grain and natural oil content — the qualities that make cedar last 15 to 20 years with minimal maintenance in this climate.
Tony personally guarantees every cedar fence he builds. If a post shifts or a board warps within the first year, he fixes it — no argument, no invoice.

CEDAR FENCE FAQ
Common Questions About Cedar Fencing in Louisiana
Does cedar fence hold up in Louisiana's humidity?
Yes — cedar is the best natural wood for Southeast Louisiana’s climate. The natural oils in cedar resist moisture, rot, and insects without chemical treatment. A cedar fence installed correctly — proper post depth, quality boards, good drainage — will last 15 to 20 years on the Northshore with minimal maintenance.
Is cedar or pine better for a fence in Louisiana?
Cedar lasts longer and requires less maintenance. Pine costs less upfront but needs sealing or staining every 2 to 3 years in Louisiana’s humidity to prevent rot. For homeowners who want to install and largely forget it, cedar is the better long-term value — especially in low-lying yards or areas with standing water after heavy rain.
How long does cedar fence installation take?
Most residential cedar fence installations are completed in one to two days. Larger properties or projects that include a gate or iron accents may take two to three days. Tony gives you a realistic timeline at the estimate and sticks to it.
Do I need a permit for a cedar fence in Louisiana?
It depends on your parish and city. In most Northshore communities, residential fences under 6 feet do not require a permit — but Covington, Mandeville, Slidell, and Hammond each have their own rules. Tony is familiar with local codes and will let you know what’s needed at the estimate. See our full FAQ for permit details.
