Privacy Fence Options in Louisville
The most popular privacy fence in Louisville is the 6-foot vertical board privacy fence — solid boards with no gaps, installed on pressure-treated rails and posts. We also build shadow box privacy fences (alternating boards on each side), board-on-board fences for a more finished look, and modern horizontal privacy fences for a contemporary aesthetic.
Wood vs Vinyl Privacy Fence
Wood privacy fences cost less upfront ($15-30/LF) and have a natural, warm look. They require staining every 2-3 years. Vinyl privacy fences cost more ($25-40/LF) but are virtually maintenance-free and never rot or warp. Both are excellent choices — we help you decide based on your budget, maintenance preference, and neighborhood aesthetic.
