How We Build:

Every Legend Fence installation follows the same standard — the one Jay holds his crews to on every single job.

We use dog-ear cedar pickets set on pressure-treated rails, with every post set in concrete. Setting posts in concrete isn't optional for us — it's how you keep a fence standing straight through South Louisiana wind, rain, and ground movement. Cut corners here and your fence is leaning within a year.

Jay personally starts every job and inspects every installation when it's done. Every nail, every post, every panel — checked before we consider a job complete. That's not something you get from a company that sends a crew and never shows up again.

Styles & Heights:

We install cedar privacy fences in 4ft, 6ft, and 8ft heights. The right height depends on your property, your HOA requirements, and what you're trying to achieve. Jay will walk you through the best option for your specific situation during your free estimate.

Optional Staining:

We offer TWP stain as an add-on to every wood fence installation. TWP is a premium penetrating wood stain that protects against UV damage, moisture, and premature graying — and we recommend it for any homeowner who wants to maximize the lifespan of their cedar fence. Ask us about it during your estimate.

Why South Louisiana Homeowners Choose Cedar:

Cedar performs better than pine in Louisiana's climate for several reasons. It's dimensionally stable, meaning it resists warping and cupping when humidity swings — which happens constantly in Ascension Parish. It's also naturally resistant to the subterranean termites common in our area. Sourced well and installed correctly, a cedar fence in South Louisiana can last 15–20 years.

Why Cedar:

Not all wood fences are built the same, and in Louisiana, the material you choose matters more than most contractors will tell you. At Legend Fence, our wood fence of choice is cedar — and the majority of our installations are cedar privacy fences.

Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, moisture, and insects, which makes it one of the best-performing wood species in our climate. It doesn't require the chemical treatment that other lumber does to survive Louisiana's humidity, and it holds stain beautifully for a finished look that lasts. We source all of our cedar locally from Picou Builders in Gonzales — a supplier we trust for consistent quality on every job.

Our Wood Gates — Overbuilt by Design:

A wood fence is only as strong as its gate, and most gates fail long before the fence does. At Legend Fence, our wood gates are overbuilt on purpose. Every wood gate we install is built with Schedule 40 steel posts and a steel frame with trust rods — the same structural approach used in commercial applications. The result is a gate that stays square, swings true, and doesn't sag over time. If you've ever had a wood gate that drooped, warped, or stopped latching within a couple of years — this is the difference.

What Does a Cedar Fence Cost in Prairieville?

Cedar fence pricing in the Prairieville and Baton Rouge area typically ranges from $23 per linear foot for a standard 6ft privacy fence up to around $50 per linear foot for a fully custom build with all the upgrades — staining, custom gates, post caps, and premium detailing. Most residential projects fall somewhere in between depending on your lot, height, and the features you want.
