Wood & Privacy Fences in Spring Hill
Wood is still the most requested fence material in Spring Hill, and for good reason — it gives you real privacy, a warm residential look, and the lowest installed cost of any solid-panel option. We build with pressure-treated southern yellow pine and cedar, cut and fit to your specific property rather than dropped in as generic pre-made panels.
Every wood fence we install is set with coated deck screws instead of nails, concrete-set posts sized for Hernando County's sandy soil, and board spacing that accounts for natural wood movement through Florida's wet and dry seasons.
Styles We Build
- Solid privacy — tightly butted boards, no sightlines through
- Shadowbox — alternating boards, finished look on both sides
- Picket — spaced boards for a decorative front-yard look
- Board-on-board — overlapping boards for extra wind resistance
Pine vs. Cedar
- Pressure-treated pine is the budget-friendly, widely available option
- Cedar resists rot and insects naturally and ages to a warmer tone
- Both need periodic sealing to look their best in Florida sun
- We bring samples so you can compare grain and color in your own yard

Frequently Asked Questions
Pressure-treated pine typically runs $18 to $26 per linear foot installed, while cedar runs $28 to $40 per linear foot thanks to the material cost and its naturally rot-resistant, insect-resistant grain. Both hold up well in Florida when properly sealed.
A privacy fence uses tightly butted boards with no gap so neighbors can't see through. A shadowbox alternates boards on either side of the rail, giving airflow and a finished look from both sides while still blocking direct sightlines.
We typically set posts 24 to 30 inches deep in concrete, adjusting for fence height and soil conditions. Spring Hill's sandy soil drains fast, which is good for post longevity but means we compact and brace carefully during the pour so posts don't shift before the concrete cures.
Most homeowners reseal every 2 to 3 years to protect against UV fading and humidity, though full-sun fence lines may need it closer to every 18 months. Skipping it doesn't ruin the fence overnight, but it shortens the boards' usable life.
Most Hernando County residential fence codes cap backyard fencing around 6 feet, though front-yard height limits are usually lower. We check your specific zoning and any HOA restriction before finalizing height so the fence is enforceable as built.
We use coated deck screws rather than nails on picket attachment. Screws hold significantly better through Florida's humidity swings and don't work themselves loose the way nails can over a few seasons.
Some cupping is normal for any wood fence exposed to repeated wet-dry cycles, especially on unsealed boards. Kiln-dried lumber and a proper sealing schedule minimize it significantly, and we can space boards to allow for natural movement.
Yes. Wood fencing is the most flexible material for irregular lot lines, grade changes, and working around established trees, since we cut and fit each panel on site rather than using rigid pre-formed sections.
A picket fence uses spaced, shorter boards for a decorative, open look that most HOAs allow in front yards, while a full privacy fence is taller and solid, which many Spring Hill subdivisions restrict to backyards only.
Yes, we carry general liability insurance and provide documentation before the crew arrives at your property.
