Custom wood fence installation across New Jersey
Cedar and pressure-treated board-on-board, stockade, shadowbox, picket and split rail — cut and built on your property, not dropped in as pre-made panels.
The only material you can genuinely build to fit
Wood is the one fence material that is still built rather than assembled. Vinyl, aluminum and chain link arrive as manufactured panels and get connected together; a wood fence gets cut on your property, board by board, to your ground and your property line. That is why it can do things the other materials cannot — a custom top cut, a cap and trim detail, a horizontal run, a gate that matches a hundred-year-old house — and it is why the crew matters more here than anywhere else.
It is also the material that most reflects where you live. In Morris and Sussex County, cedar and pressure-treated wood are what disappears into a tree line, and split rail is how you define acreage without walling it off. In the Essex and Bergen historic districts, a painted picket or board-on-board is often what design review will actually approve when vinyl will not. And in almost any New Jersey backyard, a six-foot board-on-board is still the most complete privacy you can buy per dollar.
The catch with wood is that it punishes bad installation faster than anything else. It is heavy, it catches wind like a sail, and it lives outdoors through New Jersey freeze-thaw. Posts set shallow lean. Boards set tight to the soil rot from the bottom up. We set every post below the frost line, build the run to step properly with your grade, and choose the species for your actual conditions — then stand behind it with a written workmanship warranty.
Four things that decide how long a wood fence lasts
None of them are visible once the fence is up, which is exactly why they get skipped by the cheapest quote.
Posts set below the frost line
Wood is heavy and it catches wind like a sail. A shallow post is the single most common reason a wood fence leans by its third New Jersey winter. We do not cut this corner.
The right species for the job
Eastern White Cedar for natural rot resistance and the look most homeowners want; pressure-treated pine when budget leads or the fence is doing structural work. We explain the trade-off honestly.
Cut and built at your property
Board-on-board, shadowbox, stockade and custom top cuts are assembled on site, not dropped in as pre-made panels. That is what lets the fence follow your actual ground and lot line.
Grade handled deliberately
Wood does not rack far. On slopes we step the run at each post so every section stays level and the top line reads intentional rather than sagging.
From free estimate to final walkthrough
Four transparent steps, permits and old-fence removal included, with a workmanship warranty at the end.
Free on-site estimate
We walk the line with you, measure, look at grade, drainage and tree roots, discuss species and style, and hand you a written itemized estimate. No pressure, no obligation.
Design, species & permits
We settle the style, height, top cut and gate positions, choose cedar or pressure-treated pine for your conditions, then file the township permit and coordinate utility markout.
Built on your property
Posts set plumb and below frost, then rails and boards cut and fastened on site so the fence follows your ground and your property line. Most residential runs finish in one to three days.
Walkthrough & warranty
We walk the finished fence with you, adjust gate swing and latch, haul away the old fence and all debris, and hand over your written workmanship warranty.
Every wood fence style, cut on site
Board on board, stockade, shadowbox, picket and split rail — in Eastern White Cedar or pressure-treated pine, with custom tops and matching gates. Tap any style for the full catalog.
What you get when Fence Pro by Bruno builds your wood fence
Genuinely custom, not panel-and-go
Top cuts, cap and trim, lattice, horizontal runs and matching gates — cut and built on site. If you can describe it, we can usually build it.
Rocky and wooded lots are routine
Morris and Sussex County ground is glacial till, ledge and roots. We core through rock for proper depth instead of setting short and hoping.

"They built cedar board-on-board with a concave top across the back of our property and matched a gate to the house. It stepped perfectly down the slope — no gaps at the bottom. Craftsmanship you do not see much anymore."
