Your Yard Feels Like a Fishbowl Again
A box-store panel fence set in a bag of concrete makes it worse within three winters. The right posts, set right, fix all of this for twenty years.
Privacy Fence Styles Built Around Your Yard
Every option gets 4x4 posts set below frost line in crowned concrete, galvanized or stainless fasteners, and a walk gate with adjustable hinges. The difference is the wood and the look.
Treated pine dog-ear
Pressure-treated 6-foot dog-ear pickets on three rails. Takes stain well after it dries out; the most fence for the money.
Cedar dog-ear or flat-top
Western red cedar resists rot and insects without treatment and weathers to a soft silver, or holds color with stain.
Cedar board-on-board or horizontal
Overlapping boards or horizontal 1x6 with a cap rail and trim. Full privacy even as boards shrink, and the cleanest look on the block.
Not sure? Most Des Moines homeowners pick cedar dog-ear. We'll bring samples to the estimate. Request a free estimate.

What to Know Before a Privacy Fence
How much does a privacy fence cost in Des Moines?
Most 6-foot privacy fences run $35–$60 per linear foot installed, so a typical 150-foot backyard lands between $5,500 and $9,000 depending on wood, gates and grade. You get a written, itemized price after a free on-site measure.
Cedar or treated pine — which should I choose?
Cedar costs more up front and lasts longer with less maintenance. Treated pine is cheaper and fine if you plan to stain it after it dries (6–12 months). Posts are always treated 4x4s either way; cedar posts rot too fast in Iowa clay.
How tall can my privacy fence be?
Des Moines and most metro cities allow 6 feet in side and rear yards and 4 feet in front yards without a variance. Corner lots have sight-triangle rules. We pull the permit and keep you compliant.
How long does installation take?
Most residential privacy fences take two to three days: one day for posts, a day for concrete to cure, a day for panels and gates. Weather and Iowa One Call locates set the start date.
Workmanship warranty
If a post we set heaves or a gate we hung sags, we come back and fix it. Materials carry the manufacturer's warranty on top.
Why not wait?
Every winter a leaning fence leans more. Lumber and labor don't get cheaper, and the dog isn't getting slower. Build it now and have the yard this season.
A Leaning Privacy Fence Costs More Each Year

Rotted rails and pickets turn a cheap repair into a full rebuild
Shallow-set posts heave more every winter — the fix costs more each year you wait
A failing fence means escaped pets, disputes with neighbors, and a hit to your home's value
