Project Overview

This cedar fence installation project in Richardson, TX covered 29 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, followed by the installation of heavy-gauge metal posts set 24 to 30 inches deep
in concrete for lasting stability.
The project was completed on a clear 3-day schedule: demolition and post-setting on day one, full fence
construction on day two, and final adjustments and cleanup on day three. Every 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, 6-foot cedar pickets in a board-on-board pattern, supported by 2x4 pressure-treated
rails and a double 2x6 pressure-treated baseboard for extra durability at ground level. The fence was finished with
2x6 cedar caps and 1x4 cedar trim along the top, giving it a polished, upscale look. Each post is a 13-gauge metal
post set in concrete, finished with galvanized metal caps and Simpson brackets for added structural strength.
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 Richardson, TX Homeowners Choose A&O Texas Solutions for New Fence Installation

Richardson's hot summers and occasional severe weather put real demands on any wood fence, even a short run.
A new cedar fence built with concrete-set metal posts, pressure-treated framing, and a quality Dark Walnut stain
finish is designed to stand up to those conditions far better than an aging, weathered structure.
Homeowners across Richardson 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
• Get long-term stability from concrete-set metal posts instead of wood posts alone
• 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 double baseboard, and concrete-set posts gives this fence a
strong foundation for years of reliable performance.

Project Results and Highlights

By the end of this project, the homeowner in Richardson, TX had a brand-new 29-foot, 8-foot-tall cedar
board-on-board fence with cap and trim detailing and a Dark Walnut stain finish, backed by A&O Texas Solutions'
2-year labor warranty. The project moved through demolition, construction, and completion in three organized
phases, 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 on a clear day-by-day schedule with
no surprises along the way.
