Privacy Fences
Benefits of Privacy Fencing
Seclusion and security
A well-built privacy fence stops prying eyes at the property line and keeps kids and pets safely contained — without making your yard feel like a fortress.
Noise and visual screening
Tired of looking at the alley, the neighbor's RV, or unsightly utility boxes? A solid fence hides the eyesores and helps dampen the sound of passing traffic.
Outdoor living
There's a real difference between a yard that feels exposed and one that feels enclosed. Backyards with privacy fences simply get used more — for cookouts, fires, weekend mornings with coffee.
Materials
Wood Privacy Fences
Wood is the classic choice for adding warm, natural beauty to your yard. We build our wood fences from scratch on-site, giving you total customization. Popular styles include traditional Stockade (edge-to-edge pickets for solid coverage) and Shadowbox. A shadowbox fence alternates pickets on both sides of the rail, creating an attractive, neighbor-friendly look that lets wind pass through—which is why many HOAs prefer or even require it.
We also offer elegant Cap-and-trim designs (a solid fence topped with decorative boards) and sleek Horizontal layouts for a highly contemporary vibe. If long-term, zero-gap privacy is your top priority, ask us about board-on-board styles where the pickets overlap to prevent gaps as the wood naturally shrinks. Just remember: wood requires periodic staining or sealing to maintain its look.
Vinyl Privacy Fences
If you want total privacy without the weekend chores, vinyl is the most popular choice. With interlocking tongue-and-groove pickets and reinforced rails, it is vinyl fence custom engineered to handle heavy winds. A specialized UV-protective outer layer helps resist fading and discoloration from the sun—the first thing you notice when you see low-quality vinyl. Superior vinyl runs 30% heavier than standard PVC, and you can feel the difference when you touch it. Style options include solid vertical, solid horizontal, spindle-top, or decorative lattice-top.
Composite Privacy Fences
Looking for a premium aesthetic that is also durable? Our composite options—featuring products from Trex & SimTek (in select markets)—deliver a sleek, modern privacy solution. Made from a blend of recycled materials, composite gives you the heavy, textured feel of real wood but resists rot, warping, and insects. It looks great, requires very little ongoing maintenance, and offers more sound dampening than any other privacy fence. Superior Fence & Rail composite privacy fences are the ultimate in backyard luxury.
Design Options
Our design experts will work with you to create the perfect backyard retreat. Most privacy fences are built at 6 feet, though taller sections are possible where local codes allow. Layout, terrain options, and location of access gates can all be walked-out at your home so you know exactly how your new fence will work for you.
Customize the final look of your fence with flat-top or dog-ear pickets, elegant cap-and-trim upgrades, or decorative post caps. You don’t have to wrap the whole yard in one style, either. Many homeowners use full privacy fencing along the sides and rear while switching to semi-privacy or picket fencing out front—solid coverage where you need it, curb appeal where it counts.
Common Uses
Back Yards: Most people immediately think of the backyard when they picture a privacy fence, and for good reason. Wrapping your backyard in a solid fence turns an exposed lawn into a secure, private sanctuary where your family can relax.
Pool Fences: They’re also incredibly popular for pool or hot tub owners. Not only do they keep out prying eyes while you swim, but they act as a crucial part of a code-compliant safety barrier (you can find all the details on our dedicated pool fence page).
Concealment: Privacy fence isn’t just about keeping people from looking into your yard, it also works as a screen to conceal ugly AC units, trash cans, or pool pumps from view. You don’t have to fence your entire property to get the benefits, either. A strategically placed run of privacy fence along a side yard or busy alley will block out traffic noise and hide unsightly views. We even bring that same clean look to commercial properties and apartment complexes that need a reliable way to hide dumpsters, heavy equipment, and loading areas from the public eye.
