Project Overview

This cedar fence installation project in Midlothian, TX covered 12 linear feet of new fencing at an 8-foot height, built
in a board-on-board style with cedar cap and trim detailing along the top. The scope began with full removal and
disposal of the existing fence, and reused the existing posts rather than installing new ones, keeping the project
efficient. A new wood-framed gate was also added as part of the build.
Every A&O Texas Solutions job also includes free haul-away of trash and job-site debris, so the homeowner was
left with a finished fence and a clean property, with nothing left to manage on their own.

Materials and Construction Process Behind This Cedar Fence

This cedar fence used 1x6, 8-foot cedar pickets in a board-on-board pattern, supported by 2x4 pressure-treated
rails and a 2x6 pressure-treated baseboard along the bottom of the fence line. The fence was finished with 2x6
cedar caps and 1x4 cedar trim along the top, giving it a polished, upscale look. The new gate was built with a
matching wood frame, a 3 to 4-foot width, and new hardware for smooth, reliable operation.
The entire fence was finished with a pre-dip Dark Walnut stain, giving the cedar a deep, rich tone that highlights the
board-on-board pattern and cap-and-trim detailing. This approach ensures complete, even coverage on all sides of
the wood, helping the new fence resist moisture, sun exposure, and everyday wear from the very first day.

Why Midlothian, TX Homeowners Choose A&O Texas Solutions for New Fence Installation

Midlothian's hot summers and occasional severe weather put real demands on any wood fence, even a short run.
A new cedar fence built with pressure-treated framing, a properly hung gate, and a quality Dark Walnut stain finish
is designed to stand up to those conditions far better than an aging, weathered structure.
Homeowners across Midlothian and the surrounding DFW communities choose a cedar fence installation like this
one when they want to:
• Replace a section of old, worn, or failing fence with a durable new structure
• Add cap and trim detailing for a more finished, upscale appearance
• Choose a rich stain color, such as Dark Walnut, to elevate the property's look
• Add a new gate as part of the same focused project
• Complete a fence replacement on a predictable, short timeline
Because cedar is a natural material, some variation in grain and tone is normal even under a Dark Walnut stain,
but the combination of pressure-treated framing, a properly finished baseboard, and a well-built gate gives this
fence a strong foundation for years of reliable performance.

Project Results and Highlights

By the end of this project, the homeowner in Midlothian, TX had a brand-new 12-foot, 8-foot-tall cedar
board-on-board fence with cap and trim detailing, a new gate, and a Dark Walnut stain finish, backed by A&O
Texas Solutions' 2-year labor warranty. The project reused the existing posts, with free debris haul-away included,
leaving the property clean and the fence ready to enjoy.
This project is a great example of what a cedar fence installation can deliver even on a smaller scale: a fresh,
durable fence section with upscale detailing and a rich stain finish, completed efficiently with no surprises along the
way.
