Main Wood Fence Cost Drivers
Wood fence replacement pricing usually changes most with fence length, board style, height, post spacing, gate count, tear-out labor, and site access. Staining, sealing, and premium lumber can also raise the total project cost.

Budget guide
Typical Wood Fence Budget Ranges
Wood fencing is often chosen for privacy, natural appearance, and repair flexibility. Total replacement cost depends on the material grade and how much site work is needed.
Pressure-Treated Pine
Usually one of the more budget-friendly wood fence options. It can work well for standard privacy fencing, though long-term maintenance should be part of the budget.
Cedar
Cedar often costs more upfront but is popular for appearance and natural resistance to weather and insects. Explore cedar-specific pricing for a closer comparison.
Removal and Disposal
If the old fence must be torn out and hauled away, expect a noticeable increase in total cost. Concrete footings, broken posts, and difficult access can add labor.
Terrain and Layout
Slopes, corners, retaining walls, and multiple gates can all increase installation time and material waste, which pushes the project price higher.
