Proper maintenance is essential to ensuring the longevity and beauty of your wood fence. Staining your wood fence is a crucial step in this process, offering a range of benefits that go beyond mere aesthetics. By applying a quality stain, you not only enhance the natural beauty of the wood but also provide essential protection against the elements.
Staining acts as a barrier, shielding your fence from moisture, UV rays, and other environmental factors that can lead to deterioration over time. This protective layer helps prevent issues such as warping, cracking, and rotting, ultimately extending the lifespan of your fence. Additionally, staining can enhance the natural grain and color of the wood, providing a rich and vibrant finish that enhances the overall curb appeal of your property. Ozark Fence’s owner, Joe Everest, shares valuable insights in the adjacent video, discussing the best types of stain and seal for your wood fence, and offering expert guidance to ensure optimal protection and lasting beauty for your investment.
Naturally beautiful wood pickets & rails join forces with steel posts to form this sturdy fencing option. Constructed from cypress and kiln-dried red cedar, Ozark Fence Company has the expertise necessary to combine the key features of a wood fence to meet and exceed your expectations.

Wood fences are the most popular type of fencing in the Springfield, Missouri area.
Nothing quite matches the look of a well-crafted custom wood fence.
Wood fencing is totally appropriate for providing privacy around the perimeter of a Springfield, Missouri property – whether it has a pool or not.
Many homeowners will also protect the immediate area around the pool itself. In this case, we typically recommend either aluminum fencing or vinyl fencing – both of which will not be damaged by the moisture associated with a pool area.
Pricing on all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally speaking, the up-front cost of wood fencing is usually lower than other types of fencing. However, because wood fencing needs to be painted or refinished over time – the total cost of ownership should be factored into your purchase.
We recommend you seal your fence in order to prolong the beauty of your investment. This can be done either by purchasing a penetrating sealant of your choosing and applying per the directions or by hiring a contractor. Ozark fence is proud to offer staining and sealing services for all your sealing and protection needs.
We use a ring shank galvanized nail. This nail is designed to grip the wood and allow for only minimal bleed. Because a nail is metal and bleeding is inevitable even with a galvanized coating, we counter sinks the nail into the picket in an attempt to direct the bleed into the center of the picket versus down the face. If you would prefer screws, we are willing to use them on your fence; however, it is not recommended. Using screws will drive the cost of the fence up because there are more man hours required during installation.
Screws are more likely to bleed than nails even if they are galvanized. The reason there is more bleed is because as the screw is screwed into the wood, the galvanized coating is stripped off of the screw either from the wood itself and/or the drill tip.
Our warranty covers several aspects of the fence:
Workmanship – Ozark Fence offers a lifetime workmanship warranty.
Material – Warranties vary by manufacturer. Please inquire for more information.
Our posts are set two feet, deep enough to get below the frost line found in the Springfield, Missouri area.
Our posts are set with Sakrete brand concrete. This is important for two reasons:
Sakrete costs a bit more than mixing concrete ingredients by hand, but it results in a consistent blend of portland cement, sand and gravel. By using Sakrete we are using a product that is tested for an average of 4000 psi. Some fence companies will buy ingredients individually to cut costs.
Sakrete is backed by an actual concrete company. Fencing contractors that cut costs by mixing ingredients individually have inconsistent mixes from post to post and have no recourse if the concrete mixture fails.
The property owner is required by many area city municipalities to apply for a building permit with the planning or zoning department prior to construction. The counties do not typically require a permit; however, fences must still conform to all height and set back requirements.
Based in Springfield, MO, we provide fence installation in Southwest Missouri, including Greene County, Christian County, Webster County, Polk County, Lawrence County, Stone County, and surrounding areas. You can view our complete service areas in the footer of our website.

Unlike many competitors, we use a middle rail (a 3rd rail) for added strength and to avoid warping and bowing, commonly found in poorly installed wood fences all across the Springfield, Missouri, region.
Our wood fences are built to last, and a key reason our wood fences last so long and look like new is because of the higher quality wood fencing materials we install for our residential and commercial clients.
All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Springfield, Missouri.
We build with only the best fence pickets. These are not the typical fence pickets anyone can buy from the local big-box stores. All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Springfield, Missouri.
Cedar pickets are far stronger than a builder grade wood or any other treated wood picket. Natural oils in cedar make it resistant to insect infestations, rotting, and harsh weather conditions. Because of these oils, cedar fences also age quite well, maintaining their color rather than fading to gray as some wood fences tend to do over time.
We understand that your fence is only as strong as your posts. This is why we take great care to use the strongest posts, free of defect. We not only offer heavy-duty wood posts but also offer PostMaster+ post options for an even stronger, storm-resistant post.
All high-quality posts are built to ensure that your fence stands strong for years to come.
Fences built using the Straight Line method are installed in a perfectly level line, regardless of changes in elevation. This method works best on flat terrain and provides a clean, traditional look, ensuring that all fence panels are perfectly aligned and level.
The method of “Following the Grade” allows your fence to contour closely to the natural slope of your land, maintaining a smooth, continuous line that hugs the ground. This technique is ideal for gently rolling landscapes, as it provides an aesthetically pleasing and secure boundary that adjusts seamlessly to the terrain.
The Line-of-Sight method is used to ensure unobstructed views, maintaining a straight and level top line regardless of the land’s curves. This method is perfect for those who prioritize a seamless visual flow and a clean, uniform fence line.
Stepped fences are designed to follow the contour of your land in a series of level sections, creating a “stepped” appearance. This approach is ideal for properties with significant elevation changes, as it maintains a consistent height for each fence panel while accommodating the slope of the terrain.
