Board-on-board, dog-ear, and shadowbox wood fencing built for Fort Bend County's climate and HOA standards. Cedar, pine, and treated lumber. Free estimates.
Walk through Cross Creek Ranch, Weston Lakes, or Fulbrook on Fulshear Creek on any given weekend, and the fence you'll see most often is a classic cedar wood privacy fence. There's a reason for that — and it's not just aesthetics. Wood fencing delivers the ideal combination of HOA approval, privacy, curb appeal, and cost-effectiveness for the Fulshear market.
At Fulshear Fencing Pros, wood fence installation is our most-requested service. We've built hundreds of board-on-board cedar privacy fences throughout Fort Bend County, and we understand the unique requirements of this market: the clay-heavy soil that demands deep, concrete-set posts; the HOA rules that specify maximum heights, post cap styles, and even board orientation; and the Houston-area heat and humidity that make cedar the overwhelming material choice over pine.
The most popular style in Fulshear. Overlapping boards create complete privacy from both sides of the fence. Approved by most Fulshear-area HOAs. Excellent wind resistance and a traditional Texas look.
Individual boards with angled top corners, installed edge-to-edge. Cost-effective and classic. The standard option for most backyard privacy fences in Fort Bend County neighborhoods.
Alternating boards on both sides of the rail allow airflow while limiting sightlines. Popular for side yards and open lots. Looks finished from both the inside and outside of the property.
Classic open-style fencing for front yards where HOA rules prohibit solid privacy fencing. Available in flat-top, dog-ear, and gothic (pointed) profiles. Cedar or pressure-treated pine.
Choosing the right wood species for Fort Bend County's climate is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Here's how the three main options compare:
| Material | Typical Lifespan | Rot Resistance | Cost (per lin. ft.) | HOA Acceptance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Western Red Cedar | 15–20 years | Excellent (natural oils) | $18–$25 | Highest — preferred in most Fulshear HOAs |
| Pressure-Treated Pine | 10–15 years | Good (chemical treatment) | $14–$20 | Accepted — less favored aesthetically |
| Untreated Pine | 5–8 years | Poor in humid climates | $10–$16 | Not recommended for Fulshear's humidity |
We review your property survey before a single post is dug. If you don't have a current survey, we can recommend licensed surveyors in Fort Bend County.
Fort Bend County's expansive clay soil requires deeper-than-standard post holes. We dig to a minimum of 24 inches for 6-foot fences — often deeper on sloped lots along the Brazos River corridor.
Every post is set in concrete with proper drainage slope to prevent water pooling at the base. We allow proper cure time before attaching rails and pickets — no rushing.
Rails are attached to the posts, and boards are hung at consistent spacing with galvanized hardware that won't rust in Fulshear's humidity. Post caps are installed per your HOA specifications.
We walk the fence line with you, address any concerns, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. No leftover lumber, concrete bags, or debris.
Every major Fulshear subdivision has its own set of fence rules. Cross Creek Ranch requires ARC approval and specifies board-on-board cedar with a maximum height of 6 feet and approved post caps. Weston Lakes has similar requirements with additional restrictions on front yard visibility. Fulbrook on Fulshear Creek rules vary by village.
We will advise you on exactly what your HOA requires before your estimate — and we can help you prepare the ARC submission package. Getting your application right the first time saves weeks.
We respond the same business day.
A properly installed cedar wood fence in Fulshear TX typically lasts 15–20 years with minimal maintenance — a stain coat every 3–5 years and occasional board replacement. Pressure-treated pine lasts 10–15 years. The biggest lifespan factors are post depth (we go 24+ inches minimum), concrete quality, and first-year staining to seal the wood before Houston's humidity penetrates.
Western red cedar is the best wood for Fort Bend County fences. Its natural oils make it inherently resistant to rot, insects, and the humidity that plagues the Houston metro. It's also the most widely accepted material in Fulshear's major HOA communities. Pressure-treated pine is a cost-effective alternative, but we don't recommend untreated pine — it deteriorates quickly in our climate.
Staining is strongly recommended over painting for wood fences in Fulshear. A penetrating, oil-based semi-transparent stain soaks into the cedar fibers and protects from the inside out. Paint sits on top and peels when Houston's humidity gets underneath — leading to an ugly, high-maintenance mess within a few years. Stain your cedar fence within the first year of installation and re-apply every 3–5 years.
Board-on-board cedar is by far the most popular wood fence style in Cross Creek Ranch. It provides full privacy from both sides, looks attractive from inside and outside the yard, and is specifically approved by the Cross Creek Ranch Architectural Review Committee when installed at the maximum allowable height with the specified post cap style. We have extensive experience building to CCR HOA standards.
Wood fence installation in Fulshear TX typically costs $18–$25 per linear foot for cedar board-on-board privacy fencing (materials + labor + concrete). A 150-linear-foot backyard fence runs approximately $2,700–$3,750. Pressure-treated pine costs slightly less. Gates, grade changes, and demolition of existing fencing add to the total. We provide a free, itemized written estimate with no surprises.
