Types of Wood Fences We Install
Cedar Wood Fencing
Cedar represents the premium choice for Big Island wood fencing applications. This naturally weather-resistant wood species contains oils that repel insects and resist moisture damage. Cedar fencing develops an attractive silvered patina over time or maintains its original color with regular treatment. Our cedar installations include privacy fences, decorative garden borders, and custom architectural designs.
Pressure-Treated Pine Fencing
Pressure-treated pine offers excellent value for budget-conscious property owners without compromising durability. The pressure treatment process infuses preservatives deep into the wood fibers, creating resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage. This wood type accepts stains and paints readily, allowing for custom color schemes that complement your property’s aesthetic.
Redwood Fencing
Redwood combines natural beauty with exceptional longevity. Its rich color and distinctive grain patterns create visually striking fence installations that enhance property values. Redwood’s natural tannins provide inherent resistance to insects and moisture, making it ideal for the Big Island’s humid conditions. Our redwood installations often feature custom milling and decorative elements.
Composite Wood Alternatives
For property owners seeking wood appearance with minimal maintenance requirements, composite materials offer attractive alternatives. These engineered products combine wood fibers with polymer binders, creating fence materials that resist fading, warping, and insect damage while maintaining natural wood aesthetics.

Benefits of Wood Fence Installation
Enhanced Property Value
Professional wood fence installation significantly increases property values while improving curb appeal and marketability. Quality wood fencing creates defined outdoor spaces that appear larger and more organized. Potential buyers recognize the investment value of professionally installed wood fencing, particularly when using premium materials and expert craftsmanship.
Natural Privacy Solutions
Wood fencing provides excellent privacy screening while maintaining natural aesthetics that complement Hawaiian landscapes. Various board arrangements create different privacy levels, from solid privacy installations to decorative designs that allow partial visibility. Our design team helps select appropriate fence heights and styles that balance privacy needs with neighborhood character.
Versatile Design Options
Wood fencing offers unlimited customization possibilities, including decorative post caps, lattice panels, curved sections, and integrated planters. Stain and paint options allow color coordination with existing structures. Custom milling creates unique profiles and decorative elements that reflect personal style preferences.
Environmental Sustainability
Wood represents a renewable resource that requires minimal energy for production compared to metal or vinyl alternatives. Properly maintained wood fences last for decades while eventually biodegrading naturally. Local wood sourcing reduces transportation impacts while supporting sustainable forestry practices.
Wind and Weather Protection
Strategic wood fence placement creates microclimates that protect gardens, outdoor living areas, and recreational spaces from trade winds. Solid wood panels provide excellent wind barriers while allowing some air circulation. This protection extends growing seasons for sensitive plants and creates more comfortable outdoor environments.
