Project Overview

A side by side cedar fence in Grand Prairie, TX is one of the most practical upgrades two neighbors can share, and
this 55-foot project in the 75052 area shows why. A&O Texas Solutions built a single 6 ft privacy run along the
boundary between two adjoining backyards, in place of the old chain-link line visible in the progress photos.
Because the fence sits on a shared property line, both households agreed on one design before work started. That
kept the look consistent from either yard — the same 1x6 cedar pickets, the same stain, the same 6 ft height —
instead of two mismatched fences meeting at a corner.

Scope and Deliverables

The run measures 55 linear feet with no gates, so the boundary reads as one clean, uninterrupted wall of cedar. The
crew handled the job end to end:
• Removal and haul-off of the old fence line and all job debris, at no extra charge
• 13-gauge metal posts set in concrete, 24 to 30 inches below grade
• Rail frame squared, braced and leveled before a single picket went up
• 1x6 cedar pickets installed side by side for full privacy, with no gaps
• 2x6 pressure-treated baseboard along the base of the entire run
• Galvanized post caps, Simpson brackets, interchange galvanized nails and screws
• Stain applied to the finished fence

Materials

Cedar earns its place on almost every side by side cedar fence in Grand Prairie, TX we build. It resists rot and insects
naturally, it takes stain evenly, and it handles North Texas heat swings better than cheaper pine.
The structure matters just as much as the wood. Metal posts set in concrete, galvanized caps and Simpson brackets
keep the frame rigid through the wind and the black-clay soil movement that loosens so many DFW fences. The
pressure-treated baseboard keeps the cedar pickets up off wet ground, which is exactly where a wood fence usually
starts to fail first.

Timeline and Quality

Two to three labor days from demolition to stain. Day one covered tear-out, haul-off and setting the metal posts in
concrete. Once the concrete had set, the crew framed the run, installed the cedar pickets side by side, added the
baseboard and finished with stain.
Before any post hole was dug, 811 was called to have public utility lines located and marked — a step we never skip,
and one every DFW homeowner should insist on.

Outcome and Benefits

The finished side by side cedar fence in Grand Prairie, TX gives both families a full 6 ft of privacy and a uniform
stained face on either side of the line. The run ties neatly into the existing side-yard gate, and the backyard now reads
as a finished, enclosed space rather than an open lot.
Every fence we install carries a 2-year labor warranty and a 30-day material warranty. In dry North Texas summers we
recommend watering around the posts, especially in black clay soil, to keep them from working loose.
