6 ft Dog Ear Cedar Fence
The classic Lubbock backyard fence. Dog ear pickets have clipped top corners that give the fence a traditional look, and it's the most budget-friendly way to get full privacy.
Cedar Fence Installation in Lubbock, TX
Hudson Fence Company builds cedar privacy fences on steel posts for homes across Lubbock and the South Plains. Choose from dog ear, capped, and board-on-board styles, installed by a local crew that builds every fence to stand up to West Texas wind.
Cedar Privacy Fence Styles We Build
Every cedar fence we build starts with one of three proven designs. Not sure which fits your yard? We'll walk you through the options at your free estimate.
6 ft Capped Cedar Fence
Flat-top pickets finished with a cedar 2×4 cap running the full length of the fence. The cap gives a clean, finished line along the top and helps shed water off the picket ends.
7 ft Capped Cedar Fence
The extra foot of height adds privacy from two-story neighbors and busy streets, with the same finished cedar cap on top.
Board-on-Board Cedar Fence
Any capped fence can be built board-on-board. We add pickets and overlap them, so there are no see-through gaps as the cedar dries and shrinks. It's the most private, solid-looking cedar fence we build.

How We Build Cedar Fences
A cedar fence is only as strong as what's holding it up. We build every fence on steel so it stays straight through West Texas wind.
Steel Posts on Every Fence
All of our cedar fences are built on steel posts. Steel won't rot, warp, or attract termites the way wood posts do, so your fence stays straight and solid long after a wood-post fence would start leaning. Each section gets three rails for a stiff, flat fence line.
Posts Driven 4 ft Deep or Set 3 ft in Concrete
We install posts one of two ways: driven 4 ft into the ground, or set 3 ft deep in concrete. We'll recommend the right method for your property when we come out to measure.
Optional Steel Gate Frames
Gates take more abuse than any other part of a fence. Upgrade any walk or drive gate to a steel frame to keep it square and swinging smoothly for years, without the sagging you see on wood-framed gates.
What Affects the Cost of a Cedar Fence?
Every fence is built for its property, so we don't publish one-size-fits-all pricing. Instead, we measure your yard and give you a detailed written proposal, free. The biggest factors in cedar fence cost are:
- Fence height and style: dog ear, capped, or board-on-board
- Total linear footage of the fence
- How the posts are installed: driven or set in concrete
- Number and size of gates, and steel gate frame upgrades
- Whether an existing fence needs to be torn out first
- Site access, slopes, and obstacles along the fence line
Cedar Fence FAQs
Do you use steel or wood posts for cedar fences?
Steel, on every fence. We don't set wood posts. Steel posts don't rot, warp, or get eaten by termites, so the frame of your fence outlasts the pickets on it.
Are your fence posts driven or set in concrete?
We offer both. Posts can be driven 4 ft into the ground or set 3 ft deep in concrete. We'll recommend the best method for your property during your free estimate.
What's the difference between a dog ear and a capped cedar fence?
A dog ear fence uses pickets with clipped top corners and no trim on top. A capped fence uses flat-top pickets with a cedar 2×4 cap running along the top for a cleaner, more finished look.
What is a board-on-board fence?
Board-on-board is a picket layout where the pickets overlap each other. It takes more pickets than a standard side-by-side fence, but it leaves no gaps as the cedar shrinks. Any of our capped fences can be built board-on-board.
How much does a cedar fence cost in Lubbock?
Every fence is different, so we don't publish one-size-fits-all pricing. Cost depends on height, style, footage, gates, and post installation. We'll measure your property and give you a detailed written proposal at no charge.
Do you replace old wood fences?
Yes. We replace old wood fences across Lubbock and the South Plains, and every replacement is rebuilt on steel posts.
Does a new cedar fence need to be stained?
It isn't required, but staining protects cedar from the West Texas sun and helps it last longer. We offer professional fence staining for new and existing fences.
