Add Privacy, Beauty, and Charm to Your The Woodlands Backyard.

Natural cedar is the defining fence of The Woodlands, and Dunn Fence builds it the way this community’s wooded lots demand: stick by stick on site, working around tree roots and slopes instead of forcing prefab panels into place. The finished side faces out toward neighbors and streets, as the covenants require.


Shade and moisture near Lake Woodlands and the neighborhood ponds age wood faster, so we add rot boards and offer professional staining to protect your investment. We’ll also help you gather what your Residential Design Review Committee needs before the first post goes in.

Wood fencing remains a top choice for The Woodlands homeowners because it blends natural beauty with practicality. It complements nearly any style of home, from modern to traditional, and offers the flexibility to be customized with stains or trim accents to make it uniquely yours.

Unlike prefabricated materials, every wood fence we install has its own character. It weathers beautifully, feels warm to the touch, and offers a look that simply can’t be replicated.

Benefits of Wood Fencing

When it comes to balancing beauty, functionality, and cost, wood fencing continues to stand out as a smart, versatile choice for homeowners throughout The Woodlands & the surrounding Southeast Texas region.

Natural Beauty

Natural Beauty with Timeless Appeal

Few materials can match the classic charm of real wood. Its natural grain, texture, and warmth create a welcoming look that feels right at home in any neighborhood. Whether you’re going for a rustic, traditional, or modern aesthetic, wood fencing brings a grounded elegance that simply never goes out of style.

Fully customizable

Customizable with Stains and Trim Styles

Your fence should reflect your home’s personality, and wood gives you that freedom. From rich stains that enhance the wood’s grain to bold paint colors and decorative trim accents, you can tailor every detail to match your taste. Need a fence that meets HOA guidelines? We’ll help you design something that checks all the boxes.

Excellent Privacy

Excellent Privacy and Sound Dampening

Wood fencing is a top performer when it comes to creating a quiet, private outdoor environment. A well-constructed wood privacy fence blocks sightlines and reduces outside noise, making it perfect for backyards, patios, and side yards where peace and seclusion matter most.

Wood Fence FAQ

Yes! At Dunn Fence Company, we specialize in professional wood fence installation throughout The Woodlands and the surrounding areas. Our experienced crews are highly trained in the latest techniques to ensure your wood fence is built with precision, durability, and long-lasting beauty. We design every fence to withstand Southeast Texas’ tough weather conditions, giving you a fence that not only looks great but also performs and protects for years to come.

Wood fences are often one of the most affordable fencing options when it comes to up-front cost. While pricing can fluctuate based on material availability and project size, wood fencing is generally less expensive than materials like vinyl, aluminum, or composite. However, it’s important to factor in long-term maintenance, such as staining and sealing, to keep your wood fence protected and looking its best over time.

Yes! At Dunn Fence Company, every wood fence installation comes with our 1 year Workmanship Warranty, giving you peace of mind that your fence is built to last. While natural wood materials themselves typically do not carry a manufacturer’s warranty, we do offer certain upgraded wood options that include material warranties.

Talk to one of our fencing experts to learn more about the specific wood products available and how you can maximize both the beauty and protection of your new fence.

Getting your wood fence installed is a straightforward process with Dunn Fence Company. Typically, one of our fence experts can visit your property within a few days to provide a detailed estimate for your wood fence project anywhere in the The Woodlands area. For even faster answers, feel free to call our office directly!

Once you approve your estimate, most wood fence installations are completed within 1 to 3 weeks. However, timelines can vary depending on the time of year and the specific details of your project.

If you select custom wood types, specialty posts, or decorative upgrades that require special ordering, it may extend the installation schedule. Our team will clearly identify any selections that could cause delays and offer faster alternatives whenever possible to keep your project on track.

Make it Easy on Yourself!
At Dunn Fence Company, we make getting a new wood fence simple. One of our wood fence experts can visit your property, take professional measurements, and help you design the perfect fence, without you having to lift a finger. As a full-service fence company specializing in wood fence installation across The Woodlands, we handle everything from start to finish.

Want to Get a Rough Estimate Yourself?
If you’d like a ballpark idea before meeting with our team, here’s a simple way to estimate:

  1. Measure the length of each side of the area you want to enclose using a tape measure. (It doesn’t have to be exact, rough numbers are fine!)
  2. Add up the total length of all sides.
  3. Subtract the length of any buildings, sheds, or structures that will act as part of the barrier.
  4. Account for gates separately, since gates are priced differently than fencing. (A standard walk gate is about 4 feet wide, while a driveway gate could be 10 feet or more.)


Important Tip:

Wood fencing is typically priced by sections, not strictly by linear foot!

While “price per foot” may be mentioned, it’s only a rough guide, the number of sections (and any gates) will impact your final cost. Unfortunately, some installers in the The Woodlands area use “price per foot” to give misleadingly low estimates. At Dunn Fence, we believe in transparency and are happy to explain exactly how pricing works so you can make the best decision.

Wood fencing is one of the most versatile options available, making it a favorite for a wide range of residential and commercial applications. Here are a few of the most popular ways homeowners and businesses use wood fencing across The Woodlands:

Decorative Wood Fencing
Wood fencing offers endless design possibilities for enhancing the look of your property. Styles like wood picket fences and wood rail fences are perfect for showcasing front yards, gardens, and accent areas, creating beautiful visual appeal with a classic feel.

Wood Pool Fencing
Wood fences are a great choice for providing privacy around pool areas. While we generally recommend placing wood fencing around the perimeter of a pool yard (rather than directly adjacent to the water), it offers an attractive, private barrier to make your pool space feel like a true retreat.

Wood Perimeter Fencing
The traditional 6-foot dog-ear wood privacy fence is one of the most common fences we install in The Woodlands, and for good reason. Wood perimeter fencing offers excellent privacy, security, and a natural, welcoming look that fits almost any style of home.

In most cases, it depends. Each city and municipality in the The Woodlands area has its own rules regarding fence permits, including for wood fences. Factors like the height, location, and purpose of your fence can determine whether a permit is required. In some neighborhoods, HOA approval may also be needed.

At Dunn Fence Company, we’ve installed wood fences across nearly every part of The Woodlands and surrounding communities. We’re familiar with local regulations and are happy to help guide you through the permitting process for your specific project. It’s just one more way we make the process easier for you!

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, you can also call your local town or city building department directly.

The Woodlands was built around its trees, and residents take that seriously. Its villages, from Grogan's Mill and Panther Creek to Alden Bridge, Sterling Ridge, and Creekside Park, each have a Residential Design Review Committee that reviews exterior improvements, including fences. Dunn Fence builds wood privacy, board-on-board, ornamental iron, and pool fences designed to meet those standards while giving homeowners the privacy and security they want.

Heavily wooded lots mean roots, shade, and moisture that can shorten the life of a poorly built fence. Our stick-built fences are assembled piece by piece on-site, so we can route around trees, step with the grade, and avoid the gaps that come with pre-fabricated panels. Cedar remains a favorite here, and our staining service helps protect it from the shade and humidity common to wooded The Woodlands yards.

Under The Woodlands Residential Development Standards, every new or existing fence requires written approval before installation, handled through The Woodlands Township Covenant Administration and your village RDRC. Fences around a pool, spa, or pond also require a code inspection. Properties in the 100-year floodplain may need a separate Montgomery County development permit. Dunn Fence can help you pull together what's needed for your application.

Choosing the right fence company means trusting someone with your home, your privacy, and your peace of mind. At Dunn Fence Company, we take that responsibility seriously, and it shows in everything we do.

Had a beautiful cedar fence installed to replace a collapsing pine one. Jeff Stanger and the fencing crew did a great and efficient job and my fence was on a 3-4 foot drop! Very pleased! Jeff stood by Dunn Fence and was there every step of the way to ensure I was pleased with the end result!

The folks at Dunn Fence were incredible to work with. Michael came out and listened to what we had in mind, shared pros and cons and helped us settle on a final plan, measured and quickly provided a very reasonable quote. When it was time for the install, they got to work quickly and 3 fences and 4 gates were done in 2 business days (closer to 1 1/2). They left the yard and surrounding areas in good condition and clean.

We would recommend Dunn Fence to any and everyone! Great communication, fantastic completed project. We wanted a horizontal cedar fence in a very particular stain color matching a color on Dunn's website. Erick had to do some research to determine what that color was.... he did and it looks PERFECT.
