Wood Fences in Lansing, MI

Classic cedar and treated pine fencing — natural beauty with timeless curb appeal.

The Timeless Choice for Mid-Michigan Yards

Nothing says “home” quite like a wood fence. Warm, natural, and endlessly customizable, wood remains the most popular fencing choice for Greater Lansing homeowners who want privacy and classic curb appeal. Dewitt Fence Company sells and installs quality cedar and pressure-treated pine fencing — and we’ve been doing it for over 40 years.

  • Privacy (board-on-board & solid panel) — full 6 ft seclusion for backyards.
  • Shadowbox — boards alternate front and back for a fence that looks finished from both sides and lets a breeze through.
  • Picket — classic charm for front yards and gardens, in spaced or scalloped designs.
  • Ranch rail — split-rail and post-and-rail for a rural, open look on larger properties.

Why Homeowners Love Wood

Wood offers a natural look that complements any home, total flexibility in height and design, and the option to stain or paint any color you like. It’s also one of the more affordable privacy options. With routine sealing, a wood fence built by Dewitt will look great and serve your family for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a wood fence last in Michigan?
With proper installation and occasional sealing or staining, a quality cedar fence can last 15–25 years, and pressure-treated pine often 15–20. Sealing every few years and keeping the bottom clear of soil and debris goes a long way in our climate.
Cedar or pressure-treated pine — which is better?
Cedar is naturally rot- and insect-resistant, stays straighter, and has a beautiful grain, making it a favorite for privacy fences. Pressure-treated pine is more budget-friendly and very durable when maintained. We’ll help you weigh looks vs. cost for your project.
Do wood fences need a lot of maintenance?
Wood needs the most upkeep of the materials we offer — periodic cleaning and a fresh coat of stain or sealer every two to four years keeps it looking its best and extends its life. If you’d prefer no maintenance, ask us about vinyl or aluminum.
