Professional Residential Wood Fence Installation
We Don't Use Panels. We Build for Your Yard.
Many contractors cut corners by using pre-made panels. The problem? They don't follow the ground, leaving gaps at the bottom and jagged uneven tops.
At South Gate Fence Company, we practice Stick-Built Construction. We install every post, rail, and picket piece-by-piece on site. This allows us to "rack" the fence to follow the slope of your land, creating a smooth top line and a secure, gap-free bottom.

Safe for Families: Keeps kids and pets contained safely within Birmingham city limits.
Natural Appearance
Wood is the only fence material that truly blends with Alabama’s landscape. Whether you choose pressure-treated pine or rich cedar, the organic grain adds warmth that vinyl simply can't match.
Ages Gracefully: Weathers to a beautiful silver-grey or can be restored to new with a power wash.
Customizable Styles
Wood is your canvas. Unlike metal or vinyl, you aren't stuck with one color forever. Stain it distinctive "Cedar Tone," paint it to match your house trim, or leave it natural.
Safe for Families: Keeps kids and pets contained safely within Birmingham city limits.
How we build it...
Our Wood Fence Installation Process
Building a stick-built fence is a construction project, not just an assembly job. Here is exactly what happens when you hire South Gate.
"We check HOA rules for you!"
On-Site Consultation
We meet you at your home—not just to measure, but to inspect. We look for rock, roots, and slope issues that other companies miss. We’ll discuss property lines and help you choose the right height for privacy.
"No gaps at the bottom."
Material Selection
Once you approve the design, we order your lumber. We don't grab from the top of the stack; we inspect our pressure-treated pine and cedar for warping or knots to ensure you get premium grade wood.
Professional Installation
The big day. Our crew arrives and sets posts in wet-set concrete (never dry mix). We then stick-build the frame and hand-nail every picket, "racking" the fence to flow smoothly over your yard's hills.
Final Walkthrough
We don't leave until the job is done right. We test every gate latch, clean up all sawdust and dirt, and walk the perimeter with you to ensure the fence meets our strict standards.
