Type of Fences

Find the Fence that Fits

Explore the fence styles we install, so you can make the best choice for your space.

All our fence types are available for both residential and commercial projects across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.

Natural. Beautiful. Time-Tested.

Cedar Fences

Cedar is our most requested fence, and for good reason. It offers a timeless look, a pleasant scent, and natural resistance to decay and insects. Over time, cedar weathers to a soft gray, blending beautifully with New England landscapes. This is a fence type we specialize in with an on-site fabrication shop to customize panels and materials when needed.
