Why Arlington Homeowners Love Classic Picket Fences

Picket fences have been a staple in Arlington neighborhoods for generations, and their appeal remains as strong as ever. More than just a property border, they evoke a sense of warmth, welcome, and tradition. Many homeowners choose picket fencing for its ability to define a yard without feeling closed off, creating an inviting look that enhances any property.

The classic design of a picket fence instantly boosts the visual charm of a home. Its clean lines and recognizable style complement a wide variety of architectural designs—from historic homes to modern builds—and work beautifully with both manicured lawns and lush gardens.

Custom Fence Styles That Complement North Texas Homes

Picket fences are available in a range of styles. The styles are based on the shape of the top of the picket. Some of these include Flat Top, Dog Eared, Pointed, and Gothic. At A and A Fence and Concrete, we can create an array of custom picket fences to match a variety of homes. We can help you find the best fit for your landscape and architecture. 

Picket Fence Designs

We don’t use prefabricated or pre-made sections of picket fences. Our picket fences are built on-site, picket by picket, so that they can follow the slope of the ground. The following are some common types of picket fences.

• Side by Side: Side-by-side is a common style of picket fence. Each picket is placed against the edge of the one next to it.
• Board-on-Board: Board-on-board fences offer privacy because every other picket is positioned on the opposite side of the rail. The overlapping design provides an attractive appearance on each side of the fence.
• Shadow Box: A shadow box creates a shadow effect by alternating pickets on each side with a gap between them.
• Cap and Trim: Cap and trim fences feature horizontal boards at the top and along the lower section of the fence.
  • Cap: A cap, or top cap, is a horizontal board placed on top of the pickets to create a clean design.
  • Trim: A trim board is a horizontal board on the lower part of the fence.
• Horizontal: Horizontal picket fences feature boards placed sideways. These fences offer a modern appearance with clean lines.
• Custom Built Designs: Along with the designs mentioned here, we can create custom-built designs that are made to your specifications. This helps make your fence truly unique.

Pre-Stained Pickets Designed for the Texas Sun

Arlington residents are no strangers to the intensity of the Texas sun. The sun’s UV rays can damage wood fences and cause them to fade. We can pre-stain our picket fences with professional-grade stain that offers UV protection. The pickets are hand-dipped, and we then allow them enough time to properly dry. When a picket is dip-stained, the stain penetrates every part of the picket. If a fence is stained after it is installed, the parts of the pickets that are underground remain unstained, and the sides of the pickets may also not get stained. Stain is important, as it keeps moisture from seeping into the wood, which causes premature rotting, as well as warping and swelling. Stain helps inhibit mold and mildew growth and helps protect against harmful UV rays. These benefits help extend the fence’s lifespan.
