Wood remains the most popular fence in New Jersey neighborhoods for a reason: real privacy, natural warmth, and total customizability. We build cedar and pressure-treated pine fences in board-on-board, shadowbox, stockade, picket, and split rail styles — cut and fit on site, not just pre-fab panels.
A wood fence is only as good as its posts. We set ours in concrete below the frost line, use hot-dipped galvanized fasteners that won’t streak, and build gates on steel frames so they never sag.
AT A GLANCE
Three steps from first call to finished fence.
Call, email, or use our contact form. We visit your property, walk the fence line, and assess terrain and access — no cost, no commitment.
We recommend the right style and specs for your goals and budget, handle permit guidance, and give you a clear written estimate before any work begins.
We mark the layout, set posts in concrete, install rails, panels, and gates, and clean up completely. We don’t leave until it’s right.
Cedar is naturally rot- and insect-resistant, stays straighter, and weathers to an attractive gray — at a higher price. Pressure-treated pine costs less and lasts well, but is more prone to warping as it dries. Many customers use treated posts with cedar boards for the best of both.
With posts set correctly and periodic sealing, expect 15–20+ years from cedar and 12–15 from pressure-treated pine. Post failure is what kills most wood fences early — which is why we set every post in concrete below the frost line.
Yes — every post goes in concrete, set 36″ deep to get below New Jersey’s frost line. Shallower posts heave and lean after a few freeze-thaw cycles.
Wait 4–8 weeks so the wood can dry out, then apply a quality stain or sealer. After that, re-sealing every 2–3 years dramatically extends the fence’s life and keeps its color.
Yes — we either step the panels or build the fence to follow the contour, depending on the slope and your privacy needs. Custom on-site building makes wood the most flexible material for difficult yards.
No two properties price the same. Every Imperial Fence quote is itemized in writing — these are the factors that move the number.
The biggest driver — more feet means more posts, panels, and labor. We measure exactly on the estimate visit.
Within any material, style and grade move the per-foot price — we quote the options side by side.
Slopes, rocky soil, and tight access add digging and cutting time. Flat, open yards install fastest.
Each gate adds hardware and build time — and quality gate hardware is worth every dollar.
Township permit fees and old-fence removal, when needed, round out the quote. Both are itemized in writing.
