Privacy Fence Installation in North Houston
If you’re looking for
privacy fence installation in North Houston, Ark Fence Company builds cedar privacy fences and wood-and-iron designs that keep your yard quiet, secure, and out of sight from the street and neighbors. We install fences that look great, stand up to severe Texas weather, and give your family the privacy you actually want in your own backyard. Our team focuses on using galvanized fasteners and deep post holes to ensure lasting structural integrity.
Cedar Privacy Fence Options
A good privacy fence should do three things: block unwanted views, feel solid and secure, and still make your property look better—not boxed in. That’s why most of our privacy projects use premium cedar or high-quality treated wood paired with smart, durable design choices. We use specific techniques like setting posts in concrete and using strong rails to minimize warping and movement.
Popular privacy fence materials and builds:
- Cedar privacy fences: Feature rich color, natural insect resistance, and great longevity, making them a premium choice for Houston’s climate.
- Board-on-board designs: Utilize overlapping pickets for true “no-gap” privacy, ideal for maximum seclusion and noise reduction.
- 8-foot privacy fences: Offer extra height for busy streets, corner lots, or homes with two-story neighbors, maximizing your visual buffer (subject to HOA).
- Wood-and-iron combos: Combine cedar privacy sections with elegant iron accents or gates for custom appeal.
Cedar is one of the best choices for North Houston’s humidity and heat. It handles moisture better than many softwoods and stays straighter over time, especially when properly installed and maintained. To compare privacy fences with other options,

Good Neighbor & Decorative Privacy Styles
Privacy doesn’t have to mean “plain.” We can build a fence that matches your home’s architectural style, improves curb appeal, and still gives you full coverage. We specialize in designs that add decorative flair while maintaining essential seclusion.
Popular privacy fence styles include:
- Good neighbor / shadow-box fences: Feature alternating pickets so both sides of the fence look equally finished and attractive along a shared property line.
- Board-on-board privacy fences: The ultimate choice for privacy, using overlapping pickets with zero see-through gaps.
- Horizontal plank fences: Offer a modern, clean look with tight spacing, often preferred by owners of contemporary homes.
- Decorative top trims: Include cap-and-trim designs, lattice tops, or accent boards for a custom, finished edge.
- Mixed-material designs: Combine wood privacy panels with ornamental iron gates or accent panels for a unique, high-end look.
Good neighbor fences are especially popular along shared property lines because they offer an equitable and attractive solution for both neighbors. If you’re thinking about pairing privacy fencing with metal accents at the front of your property,

Privacy Fence Repair & Height Options
You don’t always need a brand-new fence. In many cases, repairing or replacing specific sections of your existing privacy fence is enough to get it back to looking clean and standing straight. Our repair service is honest and focused on cost-effective solutions.
We can help with:
- Storm and wind damage repair to privacy fences, including fallen panels.
- Straightening leaning or replacing rotted posts that compromise stability.
- Replacing missing or severely warped pickets with matching materials.
- Repairing gates that don’t close or latch properly due to settling or wear.
- Replacement of one or more fence panels instead of the entire line.
Fence height options commonly include:
- 6-foot privacy fences: The standard backyard privacy height and typically HOA-friendly in most North Houston areas.
- 7–8-foot fences: Offer greater coverage for busy roads, corner lots, or taller neighboring homes (always check local ordinances).
- Custom step-down or step-up layouts for sloped yards, ensuring the bottom of the fence remains level.
We’ll look at your yard, nearby homes, and local guidelines to recommend a height that protects your privacy while still fitting your neighborhood and any HOA rules. For larger properties where full privacy isn’t needed everywhere,
see Ranch & Farm Fencing for perimeter options.
Choosing the Right Privacy Fence for Your Yard
The right privacy fence for your home depends on a few key factors that guide our recommendation process. We aim to find the perfect balance between your goals, property logistics, and budget.
- How much privacy you really need: Are you blocking a single sightline, or do you need to enclose the whole yard from all angles?
- Street noise and traffic: Corner lots or main roads may need taller or thicker builds [point to /services/privacy-fencing] (like board-on-board) to provide a minimal sound buffer.
- Pets and kids: We ensure secure gates, proper ground clearance (or lack thereof), and solid latches for maximum safety.
- HOA or neighborhood style: Staying within guidelines while still achieving an upgraded, high-end look.
- Budget and long-term plans: Deciding between basic builds vs. durable cedar and decorative upgrades.
We start with a simple on-site visit. We measure, note slopes and obstacles, talk through your goals, and then recommend a design that fits your property and your budget instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all package. If you’re in
Magnolia,
The Woodlands,
Conroe, or nearby, check our North Houston Locations to see service details for your area.
