Solid Privacy Fences
Privacy-first fencing built for Louisiana heat, humidity, and storms.
Privacy and yard fencing options
Solid privacy fencing is a top choice for backyards, pool areas, and side yards when you want a clean boundary with minimal visibility. We build multiple materials and layouts so you can match your home, budget, and goals.
- Wood privacy (cedar or softwood/pine) for a classic look and easy customization
- Vinyl privacy for a low-maintenance, consistent finish
- Composite privacy for a premium look with strong weather resistance
- Ornamental + privacy combos (privacy panels with decorative accents) where allowed/desired
Not sure where to start? See our Wood Fences overview, then compare cedar vs softwood/pine based on budget and maintenance.

Built for Louisiana conditions
Humidity and wood movement
In Louisiana, boards expand and contract more than in drier climates. We plan spacing, fasteners, and layout to help reduce warping and keep your fence looking straight over time—especially on privacy builds where straight lines matter.
Storms and soft soils
Heavy rain and soft ground can shift posts. Proper post depth, concrete, and corner bracing make a major difference for tall privacy fences. We also plan for drainage in low areas so water doesn’t sit against the fence line.
Gates for privacy fences
A privacy fence is only as good as its gates. We build gates that swing cleanly, latch securely, and stay aligned through seasonal changes.
- Walk gates for everyday access
- Gates and entries for driveway and specialty gate options
- Upgrades like self-closing hinges, keyed latches, and reinforced frames
