Cedar fences in Kyle and Buda
We build cedar privacy fences for homes and businesses from Round Rock to San Antonio. You choose the style, the height and the posts; we set them, hang the boards and stain the fence if you want color. Estimates are free.
Board-on-board or side-by-side
Side-by-side is the classic privacy fence: boards butted together in a single row. Cedar shrinks a little as it dries, so small gaps can open between boards over time.
Board-on-board overlaps a second layer of boards over the joints of the first. It uses more cedar, looks the same from both sides and stays closed when the wood shrinks. Many of the cedar fences we build in this area are board-on-board.
Wood posts or black steel posts
Wood posts match the fence and keep the look all-natural. Steel posts are thinner, stay hidden behind the boards or show as a clean black line, and they do not rot at the ground line, which is where wood posts usually fail first.
Both are common here. We go over the difference with you at the estimate, so you pick knowing what each one means for your yard.
Details you decide at the estimate
A cedar fence has more options than most people expect. These are the ones we ask about:
- Height, usually 6 or 8 feet for privacy
- Vertical or horizontal boards
- A top cap or trim board along the top
- Gates: walk gates, double drive gates or a sliding gate
- Natural cedar or a stain color
Why cedar for a Texas fence
Cedar holds natural oils that help it resist rot and insects, it is lighter than pine and it moves less as it dries. Left alone it fades to silver gray; a stain keeps the warm color longer. If your HOA has rules on fence height or color, bring them to the estimate and we will build to them.
Caring for a cedar fence
Sun is what ages a cedar fence most in Central Texas. The boards on the south and west sides gray first. A fresh coat of stain every few years, and a wash before it, keeps the color even and the wood from drying out.
Keep sprinklers from hitting the fence every day and keep soil and mulch off the bottom of the boards. Wet wood against the ground is where rot starts, even in cedar.

Questions about cedar fences
Do you give free estimates for cedar fences?
Yes. Call 512-359-2438, tell us the length, the height and the city, and we give you a free estimate.
Why don't you list prices?
The price depends on the length, the height, the style, the posts and the ground. You get a number with your free estimate.
Board-on-board or side-by-side?
Side-by-side uses less wood. Board-on-board costs more but stays closed when the cedar shrinks and looks the same from both sides.
Can you stain the fence after it is built?
Yes. We stain new cedar fences and older ones too.
Will my cedar fence turn gray?
Yes, if it is left bare. Sun turns cedar silver gray over time. A stain slows that down and keeps the warm color longer.
Is the cedar fence work under warranty? Are you insured?
Yes. We give a 1-year warranty on the work we do; ask us for details. Buda Fence is insured.
Do you build cedar gates?
Yes: walk gates, double gates and cedar sliding gates on a steel frame.
