Enhance Your Property's Privacy, Security, and Curb Appeal with a Professional Fence
Why Choose a Professionally Built Fence?
A fence is one of the most important elements of your property. It provides a clear boundary, ensures privacy for your family, keeps pets and children safe, and adds to the overall beauty and value of your home. Serenity Designs is a trusted fence contractor in Sacramento, specializing in the professional installation of high-quality wood, vinyl, and metal fencing that is built to last in our Northern California climate.
A properly built fence uses superior materials and construction techniques. We set every post in concrete, ensure proper depth for stability, and use high-quality fasteners to prevent sagging and ensure your fence stands strong for years to come.
Fencing Design & Material Options
We build fences that are both functional and beautiful, offering a style for every home:
Standard Picket Fencing

Privacy Fencing
Need more privacy? A board-on-board fence is a great option. It gives you a solid barrier for maximum privacy while looking sleek and functional. We’ll work with you to create a fence that fits your space perfectly.
Rance Wire Fencing
Looking for something modern and rustic? A ranch wire fence is a fantastic choice for larger properties. With durable galvanized steel wire and wooden post holes, it’s both a sturdy and stylish metal fence option
Project Timeline: Building a Better Boundary
- Week 1: Consultation & Layout: We meet with you to discuss your needs (privacy, security, style), help you choose the right materials, and walk the property line to create a precise layout plan. We also provide a clear, detailed estimate.
- Week 2: Permitting & Utility Marking: We handle any necessary permits for your fence. Critically, we contact 811 to have all underground utility lines professionally marked before any digging begins.
- Week 2-3: Post Installation: This is the most important step. Our team digs precise post holes to the proper depth and sets each post perfectly plumb and level in high-strength concrete. The posts are then left to cure for several days.
- Week 3-4: Fence Construction: Once the posts are solid, our carpenters build the fence section by section, carefully attaching the rails and pickets. We custom-build and hang all gates, ensuring they swing smoothly and latch securely. We conclude with a final walk-through and site cleanup.

The Do's and Don'ts of Fencing
- DO verify your property lines before building. It’s wise to have a friendly conversation with your neighbor and, if there’s any uncertainty, consult your property survey.
- DON’T attach fence boards directly to the posts without rails. This will lead to warping and an unstable fence.
- DO ensure wood fence posts are pressure-treated for direct ground contact, even if the rest of the fence is Redwood or Cedar, to prevent rot.
- DON’T allow the bottom of your wood fence boards to touch the ground. We leave a small gap to prevent moisture wicking and rot.
- DO use high-quality, corrosion-resistant fasteners (like hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel) to prevent rust streaks down the face of your fence.
Integrating Your Fence into Your Landscape
A custom fence is the frame for your backyard masterpiece. We help you choose a style and color that complements your home’s architecture and your landscape design.
We can also integrate your fence with other features, such as building it atop a retaining wall or incorporating a custom-designed gate or arbor.
Maintenance Considerations
- Wood Fencing: To preserve the rich color and protect the wood from Sacramento’s intense sun, we highly recommend staining and sealing your fence. This should be reapplied every 3-5 years. Left untreated, Redwood and Cedar will weather to a silvery gray.
- Vinyl Fencing: Virtually maintenance-free. Simply wash it with soap and water as needed to remove dirt and mildew.
- Aluminum/Iron Fencing: Modern aluminum fences have a durable powder-coated finish that requires no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.
- Gates: Periodically check and adjust the gate hardware to ensure it continues to close and latch properly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How long does a custom wood fence last in Sacramento? A professionally installed Redwood or Cedar fence that is properly maintained can last 20-25 years or more. The key is keeping it off the ground and protecting it with a quality stain and sealer.
- What is a “Good Neighbor” fence? It’s a style where the fence rails are centered and the pickets are placed on alternating sides of the rails. This creates a visually appealing pattern that is identical from both your yard and your neighbor’s yard.
- How tall can I build my fence? In most residential areas in Sacramento County, the maximum height for a fence in the back and side yards is 6 or 7 feet, and typically shorter in the front yard. We will verify your local regulations.
