Wood Fences

Wood Fence Installation

Add warmth, privacy, and curb appeal with a custom-built wood fence from Great Plains Fence. We install cedar and pressure-treated pine for homeowners and businesses across Sioux Falls and Southeast South Dakota, set with our exclusive no-dig method - no concrete, no torn-up yard, and no rot creeping in from the ground. Built to look great and last through our hard winters.

Wood Fence Styles We Install

Privacy Fences

Solid 6-foot cedar or treated pine panels that block sightlines from neighbors and the street. The most popular choice for backyards, pools, and hot tubs.

Picket Fences

Classic spaced-picket styling that frames a front yard, garden, or historic home without closing it in. Available in flat-top, dog-ear, gothic, and french gothic pickets.

Shadow Box

Alternating pickets on each side of the rail create privacy with airflow and a finished look from both sides - ideal for shared property lines.

Split-Rail

Rustic two- or three-rail cedar fencing that defines property lines and contains larger dogs or livestock without obstructing the view. Great for acreages.

The Great Plains Fence Difference

Why No-Dig Is the Right Way to Set a Wood Fence

A wood fence is only as good as its posts. Most companies sink wooden posts in concrete - which traps moisture and slowly rots the post from the inside out. Our no-dig anchors hold the post above the soil line, giving you a fence that stays plumb and lasts.

Rot-Proof Post Bases

Concrete footings hold water against the bottom of a wood post and rot it from the ground up. Our ground anchors keep the post above the soil line so moisture cannot collect at the base.

Frost-Heave Resistant

Concrete piers grip frost and lift unevenly each winter, leaving wood panels racked and gapped. Our smaller-footprint anchors give frost less to grab - your fence stays straight.

No Yard Damage

No augering, no piles of dirt, no trenches across your sod. We install your wood fence without tearing up the lawn you already paid to grow.

Easy Section Repairs

If a storm takes out a section years from now, we pull the anchor and reset it - no jackhammering busted concrete, no demo cost passed to you.

Wood Fence Questions

With quality cedar or pressure-treated pine and proper installation, expect 15-20+ years from a wood fence in our climate. Posts are usually what fail first - and because our no-dig anchors keep the post base above the soil line, you avoid the rot cycle that takes out concrete-set posts in 10-12 years.
Cedar resists rot and insects naturally, weathers to a silver-gray, and looks great unfinished. Treated pine is more affordable and takes stain well if you want a richer color. Both work in South Dakota. Cedar is the more popular choice for visible front and side yards; treated pine is common for back-yard privacy runs where budget matters more than appearance.
No, but you will get longer life out of it if you do. A coat of stain or sealer every 2-3 years keeps the wood from drying, cracking, and silvering. Cedar can be left untreated and it will turn a uniform gray - many homeowners prefer that look.
Wood fencing typically lands on the more affordable end of the spectrum, but pricing depends on style (privacy is more material than picket or split-rail), height, material (cedar costs more than treated pine), and lot conditions. The most accurate number is a free on-site estimate - we walk the property, measure, and give you an itemized written quote.
Some movement is normal as new wood acclimates - small gaps may open between pickets in the first season and tighten back up. We minimize this by selecting straight, properly dried material and using our no-dig anchor system, which keeps posts plumb through freeze-thaw cycles so panels stay aligned.
