Cedar and Treated Pine Wood Fencing
We install both cedar and pressure-treated pine fencing in Wildwood.
Cedar is popular for its natural appearance and is a strong choice for homeowners who want an attractive privacy or decorative fence. Treated pine can provide a durable wood fence at a different price point.
We can help determine which material, height and style make the most sense for the property and budget.
Wood Privacy Fencing for Wildwood Homes
A wood privacy fence can create a more comfortable backyard, provide separation between neighboring properties and help contain dogs and children.
Six-foot privacy fencing is common for back and side yards, but placement matters in Wildwood. The City's zoning rules generally allow fences up to six feet high, while fencing located within the minimum front yard must be 60% opaque or less. That means a solid wood privacy fence may not be appropriate in some front-yard locations.
We can plan the layout around the property rather than assuming the same fence design works everywhere.
Wood Fencing for Dogs
Wood fencing is one of the best options for homeowners who want both pet containment and visual privacy.
A solid privacy fence can reduce a dog's view of people, neighboring dogs and activity outside the yard. For smaller dogs, we also pay attention to gaps beneath the fence, gate openings and changes in grade.
Wood Fence and Gate Repair in Wildwood
An older wood fence doesn't always need complete replacement.
Depending on its condition, we can repair or replace damaged posts, rails, pickets, fence sections and gates. We can also evaluate leaning sections and gates that sag or no longer close correctly.
If most of the existing fence is still in usable condition, repairing the problem areas may make more sense than replacing everything.
Do You Need a Fence Permit in Wildwood?
Wildwood generally requires Municipal Zoning Authorization before installing a fence. The City specifically provides a fence application through its zoning authorization process.
For fences less than six feet high, Wildwood states that a separate building permit is not required, but City zoning authorization is still required. Fencing over six feet and fencing around swimming pools can involve additional permitting through St. Louis County.
Wildwood also requires fences to stay outside sight-distance triangles and generally at least 10 feet from the edge of street pavement. HOA or subdivision requirements may be more restrictive than the City's rules.
Concrete-Set Posts, Utilities and Easements
Every wood fence post installed by Makic Fence and Deck is set in concrete.
Before digging, we request public utility marking through Missouri 811. Homeowners should identify private underground lines that may not be included in the public locate, such as irrigation systems, invisible dog fences, landscape lighting, pool lines and privately installed utilities.
We also recommend reviewing the property survey for easements before finalizing the fence location.
