Project Overview

This cedar fence in Fort Worth, TX runs 218 linear feet around a property in the 76108 area, built at 8 feet in western
red cedar with board-on-board pickets, a cap trim along the top and a medium brown stain. The yard had just been
landscaped, which shaped how the whole job was run.
New sod, new beds and young trees sat right against the fence line. Working a fence through that without tearing it
up takes more time than working an empty lot, and it is the reason this project came with a written landscaping
guarantee attached to the contract.

Why Cedar Fence Replacement

Not every cedar fence replacement in Arlington, TX should be stained on day one. Fresh cedar carries mill moisture,
and stain applied over it traps that moisture instead of sealing the board. The finish then lifts within a season and has
to be stripped before it can be done properly.
The honest advice is to wait. Give the fence roughly six months of Texas weather, then sprinkle water on a picket — if
it soaks in rather than beading, the wood is ready. Left bare, cedar weathers to a silver grey, which plenty of people
prefer and which costs nothing to maintain.

Scope and Deliverables

• Removal and disposal of the old fence along the run
• Galvanized steel posts set in concrete
• 1x6 cedar pickets installed side by side, 6 ft tall
• Pressure-treated baseboard along the base of the run
• Left natural — no stain applied

Board on board, at 8 feet

Flat top is the cleaner of the two common profiles — the pickets terminate level with the top rail rather than
projecting above it as spear points. It reads as architectural rather than defensive, which suits a residential frontage,
and it is the profile most HOAs in newer Collin County developments prefer or require.

Timeline and Quality

A single run of this length is a short job — demolition, post setting and pickets, with the concrete needing time to set
in between. 811 was called before any digging so public utility lines were located and marked in advance.

Outcome and Benefits

The finished cedar fence replacement in Arlington, TX closes the boundary at a full 6 feet with no gaps, a straight top
line and a clean, natural cedar face on both sides.
The work carries our 2-year labor warranty and a 30-day material warranty. In dry spells, water around the posts —
black clay soil pulls away from concrete when it has not rained, and that is what loosens posts.
