Cedar & Wood Fence Installation in Elko, NV
Babb's Fence and Landscape builds and installs custom cedar and wood fences in Elko, Nevada, including horizontal privacy, dog-ear picket, board-on-board, and hog wire framed in cedar. Posts are set in concrete below frost depth, gates are braced so they don't sag, and every job starts with a free written estimate.
Cedar is what most people in Elko picture when they say fence, and for good reason. It holds up to dry air and hard sun, it has natural oils that push back on rot and bugs, and it looks right against sagebrush and mountains. Left alone it fades to silver. Stained, it keeps its color for years.
Our builders construct cedar and wood fences all over Elko, from six-foot privacy along an alley to a low picket in the front yard. The boards get the attention, but the part that decides whether your fence is still straight in ten years is underground. That's where we spend our time.
Styles we build
Horizontal privacy
Clean lines, boards run side to side with a cap on top. Popular on newer homes and the style we get asked about most.
Dog-ear picket
The classic. Vertical pickets, clipped corners, six feet tall for privacy or four feet for the front yard.
Board-on-board and shadowbox
Overlapping boards so there are no gaps when the wood shrinks. Looks the same from both sides, which neighbors appreciate.
Hog wire in a cedar frame
Welded wire panels framed in cedar. Keeps dogs in and the view open. Big on acreage and out toward Lamoille.
Custom
Moon gates, lattice tops, mixed materials. If you've got a picture, bring it.

Details that make the difference.
Posts
4x4 or 6x6 posts set in concrete below frost depth. Elko wind works on a fence every day of the year, so we don't shortcut post depth.
Rails and boards
Three rails on six-foot fences, fastened with screws or ring-shank nails. Boards get consistent gaps so they shrink evenly.
Gates
Framed and diagonally braced with heavy hinges. A gate that drags after one summer is the most common complaint we hear about other fences, and it's avoidable.
Cleanup
Old fence torn out and hauled off if you need it. We leave the yard the way we'd want ours left.
Cedar & wood fence questions
Answers for your project in Elko.
How much does a cedar fence cost in Elko?
It depends on height, style, gates, and how much old fence has to come out. We quote by the job after walking the property, and the estimate is free and in writing. Call (775) 455-6190 or send the form and we'll come look at it.
How long will a cedar fence last?
With posts set right and a stain every few years, twenty years is realistic in Elko's climate. Left natural it still lasts, it just goes silver.
Do you stain or seal new fences?
We can. A lot of customers let cedar weather for a few months first, then stain. We'll tell you what makes sense for your fence.
Can you match the style of my home?
Yes. Bring photos or show Craig the look you have in mind. We'll talk through board direction, height, finish, and gate details to find a style that fits your property.
What do you have in mind?
A new fence. A better backyard. A project you've been putting off. Let's talk about it.
