Wood Fencing in Las Cruces, New Mexico

Why Wood Fences Beat Every Other Option

Listen up. Wood fences give you what other materials can't:

• Natural beauty that gets better with age
• Complete privacy from nosy neighbors
• Customizable height and design
• Better sound blocking than vinyl or chain link
• Affordable upfront cost compared to metal options
• Easy repairs when something breaks

Most fence companies won't tell you this but... wood fences aren't just practical. They're an investment that pays you back. Home buyers will pay premium for properties with quality wood fencing already installed.

According to the Forest Products Laboratory, properly maintained wood fences can last decades in even the harshest environments.

Wood Fence Types That Work Best in Las Cruces

Not all wood fences are the same. Some look amazing but fall apart in our desert heat. Others last forever but look like garbage.

Here's what actually works here:

Cedar Fencing

Cedar is king for a reason. It's naturally resistant to:

• Insects that eat other woods for breakfast
• Moisture damage (even with our monsoon season)
• Warping and splitting in the desert heat

A cedar wood fence costs more upfront. But you'll save thousands on maintenance and replacement over 15-20 years.

Pressure-Treated Pine

Want a wood fence that won't break your bank? Pressure-treated pine is your answer.

The treatment process forces chemicals into the wood that:

• Stops termites dead in their tracks
• Prevents rot even when touching soil
• Extends lifetime by 5-10 years over untreated wood

Not as pretty as cedar. But you'll save enough to upgrade your patio furniture too.

Redwood Fencing

The luxury option. Redwood wood fences offer:

• Stunning natural red tones that impress everyone
• Natural oils that fight decay better than any other wood
• Superior dimensional stability in our hot-dry-hot-wet climate

Yeah, it's expensive. But so is that watch you're wearing. Quality costs money.

Common Questions About Wood Fences

How long will my wood fence last in Las Cruces?

With our hot desert climate, a wood fence typically lasts:

• Cedar: 15-25 years
• Pressure-treated pine: 10-15 years
• Redwood: 20-30 year

But that's only if installed correctly. Most DIY jobs start falling apart in 3-5 years. Ouch.

What's the average cost of a wood fence?

Depends on what you want. A basic wood fence starts around $25-35 per linear foot installed. Premium designs with decorative elements can run $45-60 per linear foot.

Sounds expensive? Try replacing your fence twice because you went with the cheapest contractor. Now that's expensive.

Can I install a wood fence myself?

Sure. You can also give yourself a haircut. Results will be similar.

Professional wood fence installation isn't just about digging holes and screwing boards together. It's about:

• Understanding local soil conditions
• Properly mixing concrete for long-term stability
• Setting posts at exact depths and spacing
• Accounting for ground swelling during monsoon season
• Ensuring gates hang perfectly centered

Mess up any of these and your fence starts leaning in 6 months. We fix DIY disasters all the time. Usually costs 30% more than if we'd done it right from the start.
