Real Privacy, Real Craftsmanship: Wood Privacy Fence Installation in Lawrenceville, Georgia
There is a reason wood is still the first material most homeowners ask about. A solid board fence gives you a backyard you can actually relax in, softens street noise, keeps pets and kids safely inside the line, and looks warm doing all of it. At Legado Construction LLC, we build wood privacy fences the way they should be built, with straight layout lines, concrete-set posts, and lumber chosen to handle Georgia humidity instead of warping through the first wet spring.
Maybe you want a straightforward six-foot dog-ear run along the property line, or maybe you want board-on-board panels finished with cap and trim.
Either way, we handle the layout, the permits, and the build from the first stake to the final gate latch.
Tell us how private you want to be, and we will take it from there.
What Goes Into a Legado Privacy Fence
A privacy fence is only as good as the parts you cannot see once it is finished. Here is how we approach every installation:
Layout & Property Lines
We locate your boundaries, mark utilities, and set string lines before a single hole is dug, so your fence sits where it legally belongs and runs dead straight.
Lumber Selection
Pressure-treated pine for value and strength, or western red cedar for natural rot resistance and richer grain. We explain the tradeoffs and let you decide.
Posts & Footings
Posts are set in concrete below the frost line and spaced properly for the panel style. This is the single biggest difference between a fence that stands and one that leans in three years.
Panel Styles
Dog-ear, flat-top, board-on-board, shadowbox, or horizontal. Each one gives you a different balance of privacy, airflow, and curb appeal.
Gates & Hardware
Walk gates and double drive gates built with proper bracing, heavy-duty hinges, and self-closing latches so they never sag out of square.
Stain & Sealing
Optional finishing that locks out moisture, slows graying, and pulls the color of your fence in line with the rest of your exterior.
Cap & Trim: The Detail Worth Paying For
A standard privacy fence ends where the pickets stop. A cap and trim fence gets a horizontal top cap running the full length of each section, with trim boards framing the pickets underneath. The difference is immediate. The top line reads clean and intentional instead of ragged, the exposed picket ends are protected from rain, and the whole run starts to look like a piece of architecture rather than a boundary marker. It is a modest upgrade in cost and a significant upgrade in how your backyard feels. If you are fencing a front-facing yard or anywhere guests will see it up close, this is the option we recommend most often.
Built to Stand Through Every Georgia Season
Heat, humidity, and heavy summer storms are hard on fencing, and shortcuts show up fast.

With 18 years of building in this community behind us, we know which lumber holds up here, how deep the posts need to go, and where drainage will cause trouble down the road. You get a fence that looks sharp on day one and still looks sharp a decade later.
