Redwood Fence Installation
Redwood fencing is a strong choice for privacy, curb appeal, and a clean finished look. It holds up to moisture without warping, takes stain well, and handles the Tri-Valley climate better than most alternatives. Cut Once Construction installs new redwood fences and replaces old or failing fences for homeowners throughout Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, and Tracy.
Depending on the project, we also work with cedar, pressure-treated Douglas fir, and other wood options. For properties that need something different — ornamental steel, deer fencing, or ranch-style fencing — we can discuss what makes sense for the site and budget.
We handle everything from new installations to full replacements — including old fence removal, post evaluation, material selection, gate tie-ins, and finish options. We can also match an existing fence style when replacing sections or expanding a run.
Fence Styles & Options
Every property is different. We’ll help you choose the right style, material, and height for your yard, HOA requirements, and budget.
Redwood & Cedar Fencing
Redwood is the preferred choice for residential fencing in the Tri-Valley — naturally rot-resistant, stable in our climate, and holds stain well. Cedar is a solid alternative that’s slightly lighter in color and often more affordable. Both are available in construction heart and select grades.
Privacy & Good-Neighbor Fencing
Board-on-board fencing gives you full privacy and a finished look on both sides — one of the most popular styles in the area. Good-neighbor fencing alternates boards so both sides of the fence line get a clean face. Dog-ear and lattice-top styles are also available.
Shadow Box & Decorative Styles
Shadow box fencing uses alternating boards on each side with small gaps — good for airflow in windier areas while still providing security and structure. Decorative cap-and-trim, flat top, and dog-ear picket-on-frame styles are also available depending on the look you’re after.
Ornamental Steel Fencing
For properties that need a more formal or low-maintenance perimeter, ornamental steel fencing is a strong option. Durable, clean-looking, and well suited for front yards, driveways, and entry areas where visibility matters more than full privacy.
Deer, Ranch & Specialty Fencing
Deer fencing protects landscaping and gardens without blocking the view. Ranch-style fencing works well for larger lots and rural-adjacent properties. Pressure-treated Douglas fir is a practical, cost-effective option for these applications where long runs and durability are the priority.
Fence Replacement & Gate Tie-Ins
Full removal and replacement of aging or damaged fences, including old material haul-away and post evaluation. Walk gates are part of most projects — frames are glued-and-screwed with proper bracing and hardware alignment so the gate opens, closes, and latches cleanly from the start. For heavier steel-frame gates, those are scoped separately.
Styles Tailored to Your Property
Not every yard fits a standard catalog option. We’re comfortable working through fence layout, style, material, and height options with you — including matching an existing fence line or adapting a style to fit a sloped lot, HOA restrictions, or a specific look you have in mind. Send us photos and a description and we can usually give you a clear direction before the on-site visit.
Why Redwood
Redwood is the standard choice for residential wood fencing in Northern California. It holds up to moisture without warping or checking, takes stain well, and holds fasteners cleanly. Properly installed, a redwood fence holds up for years with minimal upkeep.
Cedar is a good alternative — lighter in color, slightly softer, and often more affordable. Pressure-treated Douglas fir is well suited for posts and for applications where long-term ground contact resistance matters.
We use construction heart or select grades depending on the application. We’ll walk you through material options as part of the estimate process.
What Goes Into a Fence Project
Every yard is different. Here are the factors we walk through when scoping your project.
Style & Material
We’ll help you choose between redwood, cedar, pressure-treated Douglas fir, or other options based on your budget, HOA guidelines, and what you’re trying to accomplish.
Privacy Needs
Full privacy, partial visibility, or open-style fencing — we’ll match the build to what your yard actually needs, not just the most common default.
Gate Placement
Walk gate location, swing direction, and hardware are part of the scope discussion. Gate frames are glued-and-screwed with proper bracing and hardware alignment so the gate opens, closes, and latches cleanly from the start.
Removal & Haul Away
Demo and haul-away of the old fence is included in most replacement jobs. Old material leaves with us — it’s part of the project, not an add-on.
Site Conditions
Sloped ground, post condition, soil type, and shared fence lines all affect the project plan. We account for grade changes and post footings during the estimate — no surprises on install day.
Finish Options
Staining and sealing extend the life of any wood fence. We’ll discuss finish options as part of the estimate — natural, stained, or pre-treated wood are all available.
Exact pricing depends on the site. We’ll go over everything in the estimate.
Why Work With Us
A small, family-owned contractor based in Livermore. Here’s what that means in practice.
Owner on the Job
The person who estimates your fence is involved in the project. We don’t hand it off to a crew that’s never seen your yard.
Clear Proposals
You’ll get a written estimate with scope, materials, and price before work begins. We cover what’s included and flag anything that might change the cost.
Detail-Focused Work
Post depth, board spacing, gate framing, and cap alignment — the details that separate a well-built fence from one that looks like it was put up fast.
Clean Site
Old fence material, cut-offs, and debris leave with us. Cleanup is included.
Built to Hold Up
Posts are set at the right depth with appropriate concrete. Hardware is rated for exterior use. We build with the intention that you won’t need to redo it in three years.
Local to the Tri-Valley
We’re based in Livermore and work throughout the area. Familiar with local soil, grade conditions, HOA norms, and what the typical residential fence project here involves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you replace existing fences?
Yes. Full fence replacement is one of our most common projects. We remove the old fence, evaluate existing posts, and build from there. Hauling is included.
Can you match an existing fence style?
In most cases, yes. Send us a photo and a brief description of what you’re working with — we’ll let you know what can be matched and what might need a workaround if materials have changed.
Do you install gates with new fencing?
Yes. Walk gates are part of most fencing jobs. Gate frames are glued-and-screwed with proper bracing so the gate hangs squarely and hardware aligns correctly. For heavier driveway gates or steel-frame gates, those are scoped separately.
Do you remove the old fence?
Yes. Demo and haul-away are included in replacement jobs. We’ll note this in the estimate scope so you know exactly what’s covered.
What wood do you use?
Redwood and cedar are the primary choices for residential fencing in the Tri-Valley. For posts and ground-contact applications, pressure-treated Douglas fir is a good option. We’ll walk you through grade and material options during the estimate.
Do you offer staining or sealing?
Yes. Staining and sealing options are available and can be added as part of the project scope. A good finish protects the wood and extends the fence’s lifespan. We’ll discuss options during the estimate.
