A new wood fence is still the most requested residential fence style in Tallahassee, and for good reason — it's flexible on budget, adaptable to almost any yard, and gives homeowners a classic look that suits everything from a Midtown bungalow to a Killearn Estates two-story. Tallahassee Fence Masters installs new wood fences for privacy, perimeter, and decorative purposes, working in both cedar and pressure-treated pine depending on your budget and durability goals. This page covers new installation only — if your existing wood fence needs board or post repair instead, see our wood fence repair page.
How much does a wood fence cost in Tallahassee? Installed pricing for a typical 4-6 foot wood privacy fence in this market runs roughly $16 to $26 per linear foot, with labor making up around $8 to $13 of that per foot — a researched market range, not a fixed quote, since final cost depends on your specific yard, style, and material choice.

From consultation to walkthrough.
Cedar is naturally rot- and insect-resistant with a premium look, but it costs more upfront. Pressure-treated pine is the most common choice in Florida because it's budget-friendly and holds up well once properly ground-contact rated where posts meet soil. Neither wood is fully termite-proof — cut ends and notches benefit from re-treatment or sealant, since that's where untreated wood is most exposed.
Style matters too. Board-on-board overlaps boards for full privacy from both sides with zero sightline gaps. Shadowbox (good-neighbor style) alternates boards for airflow and a shared aesthetic on both sides of the fence. Picket fencing, typically 3-4 feet tall, is a front-yard decorative option rather than a full privacy solution.
Mature live oak and pine roots in neighborhoods like Betton Hills and Midtown often shift post placement — we plan around them rather than through them.
Killearn Estates and Southwood-style HOAs often require architectural review before install — we help align your design to gain quick approval.
Galvanized fasteners and brackets prevent rust streaking in Tallahassee's humid climate.
Backyard privacy fencing is typically capped at 6 feet, with a 4-foot maximum common in front yards. Many Florida jurisdictions, including areas under Leon County's Building Plans Review and Inspection process, require a permit for fences over 6 feet — some require one regardless of height. We help confirm what applies to your property before we start digging.
New builds for every yard type.
