Newer subdivisions put homes close together, and the space between them fills with AC units, bins and hoses. On this project a stained cedar privacy fence turned those spaces into tidy, private yards.
Two decks can use the same boards and look completely different. The difference is in the edges. On this composite deck, a picture-frame border and full fascia give it a crisp, built-in finish.
Side yards are where neighbours are closest and windows face each other. On this Grace Construction project we used board-on-board cedar, stained on install, so the side yard stays private from every angle.
Three patterns account for nearly every cedar fence in North Texas. They cost different amounts, they age differently, and only one of them stays gap-free once the wood dries out.
Cedar and pressure-treated pine both last in North Texas, but they fail in different ways and they do not belong in the same parts of a fence. Here is how we choose between them.
