Little Rock Wood Fences
Wood fences set the tone for a Little Rock yard like no other material. They breathe, they age, they take stain or paint, and they earn character over a decade of Arkansas weather. Delta Fence LLC builds custom wood fences across Little Rock and Pulaski County, from privacy six-foot cedar to picket-style 4-foot accent fences along Hillcrest, the Heights, and Riverdale.
Little Rock Wood Fence Construction
Western red cedar leads our wood fence builds for its rot resistance, dimensional stability, and warm amber tone that weathers to silver-gray. Treated southern yellow pine is the budget-conscious choice and holds up well to Arkansas humidity when properly sealed every two to three years. Cypress is a regional favorite for homeowners who want a softer reddish tone with strong rot resistance. We build with kiln-dried, top-grade lumber sourced through local Little Rock yards rather than big-box construction-grade boards.
The difference between a fence that lasts 15 years and one that fails in 6 is in the construction detail. We set posts in concrete with 8-inch sonotube footings to 36-inch depth, gravel base for drainage, post caps to shed water, stainless or galvanized fasteners, and a kickboard along the bottom to keep dirt-line moisture off the boards. Pickets butt-jointed or board-on-board with adequate gap for board expansion. Every joint sealed at install when staining is part of the package.
Construction Detail That Matters
Stain or seal every 2 to 3 years extends a wood fence's life by 50 percent in Little Rock's humid summer climate. We offer install-day staining (semi-transparent or solid color) and follow-up restain visits. Penofin, Sherwin-Williams DeckScapes, and Behr Premium are the products we trust on Arkansas wood. Painted fences need repaint every 5 to 7 years; stained fences want a refresh every 2 to 3.
What a Little Rock Wood Fence Project Looks Like
A standard 150-foot Little Rock backyard wood fence project takes 2 to 4 days from arrival to cleanup. Day 1: tear-out of old fencing and post excavation. Day 2: post-set in concrete (24 hour cure). Day 3: rail and picket installation. Day 4 (optional): stain or seal. We pull City of Little Rock fence permits when required and coordinate with HOAs on architectural review.

City of Little Rock requires permits for fences over 6 feet tall, fences in front yards, and fences in historic districts (Quapaw, MacArthur Park). Standard 6-foot privacy fences in side and rear yards typically don't require permits. We pull what's needed.
Little Rock Wood Fence FAQ: Will you remove my old fence?
Yes. Tear-out and disposal of the old fence is included in our quote. We haul away the old materials and clean up post holes before setting new ones.
Little Rock Wood Fence FAQ: Can you match my neighbor's fence?
Yes. Bring photos or take us out to look. Most picket profiles, post styles, and rail patterns are reproducible. Color match on weathered fences is harder but a fresh stain to a target tone usually gets close.
