Timeless Beauty and Natural Strength of Wood Fences

The Beauty of Age

Nothing else compares to the beauty of real wood. A fence made of solid timber starts rich and warm, and with time, the sun and rain give it a soft silver patina while deepening the grain. Each board develops unique marks—knots, curves, and subtle weathered textures—that can’t be faked by plastic or metal. In areas like Historic Downtown Statesville and near Mitchell Community College, you’ll find older wood fences. They’ve aged beautifully, giving character and charm to properties.

Unlimited Customization and Architectural Integration

Want a fence that fits your vision perfectly? Real wood says, “Yes, of course.” Our team works with lengths and heights from your sketch, bevels that rise and tumble like the land, and cutouts that frame a favorite view. Rows of planters tuck into the lattice to hold thirst-quenching herbs or bright flowers. When one of our craftspeople chisels a custom joint or glides a lathe across a rail, the grain joins in, and the whole piece becomes a reflection of your home—quiet, hand-formed art made to endure.

Sustainable and Environmentally Responsible Choice

Choosing FSC-certified wood means every board comes from responsibly managed forests that replant and renew. These fences don’t just stand strong—they also help store carbon and return cleaner air to our environment. In Statesville, local leaders promote sustainable growth. Iredell County’s green spaces, like Mac Anderson Park, support eco-friendly living. Homeowners value wood for its renewability, compostability, and recyclability, which match community values.

Repair and Modification Flexibility

When you choose wood, making a change later is as simple as pulling out a screwdriver. With standard tools and off-the-shelf materials, you can swap out a single board, raise or lower a plank, or slide in a decorative cap strip without disrupting the rest of the project. As tastes, needs, or codes shift, wood adapts more easily than any manufactured product, giving you a living surface that grows and ages in harmony with your space.

What to Expect During Your Wood Fence Installation

Traditional Joinery and Construction Methods

Our wood fences are built the way skilled carpenters have done it for generations. We use joinery techniques like mortise and tenon joints, dados, and other strong fastening methods. These keep the structure durable and long-lasting. Each piece is measured, cut, and fit with care so the fence isn’t just sturdy—it’s a reflection of real craftsmanship. In Statesville, historic homes along Broad Street and Davie Avenue remain after a century. This shows that respect for traditional building methods makes quality work important.

Custom Design and Fabrication Services

Every project starts with a conversation. We sit down with homeowners to design fences that fit their vision and their property’s needs. From decorative cuts and detailed rails to planters, arbors, and even custom lattice, we shape wood into features that make a yard stand out. Families in places like Brookmeade and Forest Park enjoy custom wood fences. These fences frame gardens, offer privacy, and enhance their homes’ charm. They also blend well with Iredell County’s natural beauty.

Protective Finishing and Preservation Systems

Professional finishing services use top-quality stains, sealers, and coatings. We apply these with commercial-grade equipment and trusted techniques. Our finishing systems enhance natural beauty. They also protect against UV damage, moisture, and wear from the environment. This extends fence life while keeping it attractive in North Carolina’s tough climate.

Explore Our Selection of Premium Wood for Fencing

Western Red Cedar Excellence

Western red cedar not only resists pests, rot, and moisture, but it also comes with the kind of natural charm you can’t replicate. Its rosy grain and lingering cedar scent do more than look good—they make the whole yard feel warmer. Because cedar contains its protective oils, the wood stays healthy without added chemicals. Light yet tough, it’s perfectly suited for decorative fences, privacy screens, and details that must marry good looks with lasting strength.

Pressure-Treated Southern Pine Durability

Southern pine, when pressure-treated, takes on the toughness of armor. Each board is infused with preservatives that stop rot and bugs, giving you wood that laughs in the face of the weather and wards off animal damage, all while keeping the project budget-friendly. In Statesville, summers are hot and humid, with heavy rain and winter freezes. These conditions quickly damage untreated lumber. However, pressure-treated pine can last 20 to 30 years with the right care. That’s three to five times longer than untreated wood. This makes it the best choice for barns, stables, decks, and commercial projects that need strength and durability.

Premium Redwood Luxury

California redwood is the ultimate wood for fences, giving you jaw-dropping beauty combined with weather toughness. Its natural perks—minimal shrinkage and fading, plus pest resistance—mean your fence becomes a family heirloom, not a seasonal ornament. Because the redwood grows in the cool coastal fog, its fine, tight grain and rich, varied colors stay radiant. You’ll splurge on premium redwood when your project demands dramatic elegance and performance you can trust for decades.

Hardwood Specialty Applications

For fences that need to be extra strong, hardwoods like oak, black locust, and tropical woods are the best picks. Oak has a bold grain, while black locust is one of the hardest native woods. It’s commonly found on farms and ranches. This wood withstands rough weather and heavy use. Tropical hardwoods have deep, rich colors and are popular for high-end designs. In the rural areas of Iredell County, including West Statesville and the farmland along Old Mountain Road, black locust posts are still a favorite for fences that hold livestock year after year. Oak and tropical hardwoods work well for custom gates, historic restorations, or special features near places like Lakewood Park, where strength and beauty come together. With little upkeep, these hardwoods age into lasting, timeless parts of the landscape.

Why Choose AAA Fence and Deck for Your Wood Fence Installation?

Local Wood Species Knowledge and Selection

With more than thirty years building fences in the Carolinas, we know which local woods stand up best to heat, humidity, and sudden weather changes. For example, pressure-treated pine fights off rot and termites, while cedar naturally keeps away bugs and holds its shape better in wet ground. We help you choose the best wood based on how you’ll use your fence, how much upkeep you want to do, and site details like drainage, sun, and local pests.

Seasonal Installation Optimization

We plan our work around the Carolina seasons. Wood that goes in with the right moisture level, a finish that dries in the proper humidity, and posts set in firm ground will last much longer. In Statesville, summer humidity averages over 75% and soil shifts after heavy rain, so timing matters. When installed right, wood adjusts, stain sticks better, and posts stay solid. That’s why a fence you put up with us won’t lean or sag by July, and with care, it can last 20–30 years instead of just a few.

Historic District and Architectural Compatibility

We install many fences in Statesville’s historic neighborhoods. Keeping the charm—like decorative tops or classic stain colors—is about more than passing code. It’s about protecting home values and the look of the neighborhood. Our team knows the details that make a Federal rowhouse or a Victorian cottage look right, and we match them using long-lasting wood that blends in beautifully. We also make sure every fence follows Statesville’s historic district rules, so you don’t face extra costs or delays from redesigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of wood performs best in North Carolina's humid climate?

Cedar and pressure-treated pine are the best choices for North Carolina’s humid climate. Cedar resists rot, decay, and insects due to its natural oils. It also stays straighter and warps less in high humidity and heavy summer rains. Pressure-treated pine is cheaper and widely available. It offers strong protection against termites and fungal decay through chemical treatments, making it ideal for wet and humid areas.

Choosing between the two often depends on budget, appearance, and maintenance. Cedar can last 15–20 years with care, while pressure-treated pine lasts 10–15 years but can last longer with sealing or staining. Cedar develops a natural silver-gray patina if left unfinished. Pine’s lighter color takes paint and stain evenly, offering more design options. During our consultation, we’ll consider your property’s sun exposure, drainage, and airflow to recommend the best wood and care plan for lasting results. Contact us today to schedule your consultation, and we’ll help you choose the right wood for your property’s needs.

How often does wood fencing need staining or sealing in our area?

Wood fence maintenance depends on wood type, finish, sun exposure, and weather protection. In North Carolina, most fences need protective treatments every 2 to 4 years. Cedar may require less frequent treatment due to natural preservatives. Pressure-treated pine loves a good stain to stay pretty and well protected, and it usually asks for that coat more often. We’ll put together a maintenance calendar that’s tailor-made for your fence, so you always know what to do and when.

Can wood fencing be installed on sloped terrain around Statesville?

Wood fencing works great on sloped land. We use stepped installation, custom cutting, and special post placement to fit the natural shape of the ground. Our craftsmen apply traditional methods like racked panels and stepped sections. These create beautiful fences on the challenging slopes of Iredell County’s varied landscape.

What’s the key difference between cedar and pressure-treated pine?

Cedar is all about natural good looks. It repels insects, smells fantastic, and doesn’t need any chemical treatment. Pressure-treated pine, on the other hand, offers extra toughness thanks to its chemical curing process and usually costs less upfront. On the finish side, cedar fades to a lovely silver over time, while pressure-treated pine looks best after a stain. We take the time to discuss which wood fits your style, budget, and how much upkeep you’re willing to handle.

How do you keep a wood fence standing strong in a rainy area?

When heavy rain is part of the deal, we take a few extra steps. We install posts in well-drained holes, space boards to let air flow, use rust-free fasteners, and finish the boards with treatments that keep moisture out while still letting the wood “breathe.” If your yard needs extra drainage, we’ll even dig in a French drain. Our proven methods hold up during the most stormy seasons in North Carolina.

How long can a wood fence last in North Carolina’s climate?

With proper care, a wood fence in North Carolina can last 15 to 20 years on average. Cedar and redwood often reach the higher end of that range because they naturally resist decay and pests. Pressure-treated pine is also widely used because it holds up well against humidity and heavy rainfall. Statesville receives about 46 inches of rain each year on average, so regular sealing and maintenance are important to help wood resist rot and moisture damage.
