Wood fences built for Hollywood, FL homes and weather

A good wood fence in Hollywood, FL has to do more than look nice. It has to handle salty air from the coast, strong afternoon sun, summer downpours, and hurricane‑season winds. At Legendary Fence Company Hollywood, we design wood fences around those realities, not generic catalogs.

We work on a mix of properties in this area: single‑family homes east and west of I‑95, older ranch houses from the 60s and 70s, newer infill builds on smaller lots, and multi‑unit rentals close to downtown Hollywood. That variety means the same fence style will not fit every yard. On a tight side setback, for example, a full 8‑foot privacy fence might feel like a wall, while a 6‑foot board‑on‑board style provides privacy without making the space feel cramped.

Local code matters too. Within Hollywood city limits, most residential fences are limited to specific heights in front and rear yards, and corner lots have sightline rules so drivers can see around the fence. We help you choose a wood fence design that fits your goals and also passes Hollywood and Broward County requirements, so you do not run into problems when you sell or refinance.

Because we work nearby every day, our team knows how different soils behave across Hollywood. Some neighborhoods have sandy, well‑draining soil that is easy to dig but can shift around posts. Others closer to the Intracoastal sit on fill that holds water longer. We adjust post depth, concrete mix, and drainage details based on your specific yard so your wood fence stays straight instead of leaning after the first heavy rain.

Step‑by‑step: how our wood fence installation actually works

When you call Legendary Fence Company Hollywood for a wood fence, you are getting a clear process from the first visit to the last nail.

1. On‑site visit and layout We start at your property, not on the phone. We walk the fence line with you, look for sprinkler lines, tree roots, and buried utilities, and listen to what you want. Maybe you need privacy from a two‑story neighbor, a safe space for dogs, or a clean backdrop for a pool area. We mark potential gate locations where they will be convenient and have solid footing.

2. Measurement, permitting, and utilities We take detailed measurements, then prepare a written proposal that shows the linear footage, gate count, wood type, and style you chose. In Hollywood, many wood fences require a permit. We can handle the permit drawings, application, and any city revisions for you. We also request underground utility locates so we do not hit power, gas, or communication lines when digging.

3. Post installation On installation day, we start with the posts. We set them in concrete footers, typically 24 to 36 inches deep depending on height and soil conditions, and follow a string line so everything is straight. For hurricane‑prone areas of Hollywood, we use larger posts, tighter spacing, and additional concrete to improve wind resistance. We carefully keep posts off property lines unless a shared fence line is documented, so you avoid boundary disputes later.

4. Rails, pickets, and gates After the concrete cures, we install horizontal rails and then attach the pickets in the pattern and spacing you selected. For privacy fences, we stagger boards or use board‑on‑board designs to limit gaps as the wood dries. Gates are framed with extra bracing and heavy‑duty hinges so they do not sag. We test each gate multiple times and adjust the latch height for kids or accessibility if you ask.

5. Cleanup and walk‑through We clear away old fence debris if we removed an existing fence, pick up nails and scrap, and rake disturbed soil along the fence line. Then we walk the job with you. If a board looks off or you want a gate swing changed, this is when we fine tune the details so you are happy with the finished fence.

Design choices: wood types, styles, and finishes that work here

Hollywood’s climate is tough on wood, so smart material choices are just as important as the installation itself. At Legendary Fence Company Hollywood, we explain the tradeoffs so you can pick what fits your property and budget.

Wood species Most of our projects use pressure‑treated pine or cedar. Pressure‑treated pine is cost‑effective and performs well when installed correctly. We use lumber treated for ground contact at the posts and a lighter treatment above grade, which helps resist rot in our humid climate. Cedar costs more but offers better natural resistance to insects, holds stain well, and tends to stay straighter over time. For waterfront or poolside homes, the extra stability of cedar can be worth the investment.

Fence styles Common choices include solid privacy, shadowbox, and horizontal designs. Solid privacy works well along rear lot lines or between backyards, especially when you want to block sightlines from two‑story homes. Shadowbox, where boards alternate on each side of the rail, lets some air flow through, which can reduce wind pressure and help in storm season. Horizontal fences give a modern look that pairs nicely with newer construction near Young Circle or along Dixie Highway, but they require careful board spacing and strong framing to avoid sagging.

Heights and details Most homeowners in Hollywood choose 6‑foot wood fences for backyards, sometimes stepping down toward the front for curb appeal and code compliance. We can build decorative top trims, lattice sections, or cap boards that protect end grain from moisture. For pet owners, we can install bottom kick boards or closer picket spacing so small dogs cannot slip out.

Finishing options You can leave the wood to weather naturally, apply a clear sealer, or use a semi‑transparent or solid stain. In our sun and rain, a quality exterior stain or sealer is almost always a smarter choice. We help you schedule finishing at the right time, usually after the wood has had a short period to dry, and we can recommend colors that hide minor weathering while still showing wood grain.

What affects wood fence cost and longevity in Hollywood, FL

Two neighbors in Hollywood can both choose wood fences and pay very different prices. Legendary Fence Company Hollywood is upfront about what drives cost so you can control the budget without cutting structural corners.

Key cost factors Total footage, height, wood type, and number of gates are the basics. A 6‑foot cedar fence with two wide drive gates will cost more than a 6‑foot pine fence with one walk gate. Corners, jogs around trees or AC units, or complex layouts add labor. If we need to remove old concrete footers or heavy masonry from a previous fence, that also affects the price. Properties with tight access, like rear yards behind townhomes, can take longer because materials must be carried in by hand.

Local conditions In many Hollywood neighborhoods the water table is relatively high. To prevent posts from sitting in water, we adjust hole depth, use gravel at the base for drainage, and slope concrete away from posts. These details add a bit of material cost but greatly extend the life of the fence. For homes that are more exposed to coastal winds, we may recommend closer post spacing or an airflow‑friendly style like shadowbox. This improves durability and can reduce storm damage.

Upgrades that can be worth it Stronger gate hardware, stainless or coated fasteners, and heavier posts at gate openings cost more up front but reduce future repair calls. If you plan to stay in your home for years, these upgrades usually pay for themselves. Staining or sealing is also a cost factor, but in Hollywood’s climate it can easily add years to the usable life of the fence.

How to protect your investment We show you where soil should sit relative to pickets, how to keep sprinklers from soaking the fence every day, and how to spot early signs of issues like loose posts or boards. Basic maintenance like trimming plants away from the fence line and rinsing off fertilizer overspray goes a long way here. If damage does occur, for example after a storm or from a falling branch, we can often repair sections instead of replacing the entire fence, which helps control long‑term costs.

Common problems, local regulations, and why choosing a pro matters

Wood fences in Hollywood tend to fail for predictable reasons, and most of them are avoidable with good planning and workmanship. Legendary Fence Company Hollywood focuses on preventing those headaches from day one.

Avoidable issues Shallow posts are a big one. In soft or sandy soil, a post that is only 18 inches deep will start to lean. We go deeper and bell out the bottom of the concrete so the post has a wider base. Another frequent problem is boards installed too tight with no room for expansion. In our humidity and summer heat, wood moves. We leave controlled gaps where needed so boards do not buckle or crack.

Storm and wind concerns Hollywood residents know that afternoon storms and tropical systems can produce strong gusts. While no wood fence is storm‑proof, proper post depth, concrete, and gate bracing make a major difference. On more exposed lots we recommend styles and layouts that let some air pass through or reduce long, uninterrupted runs that can act like a solid sail.

Permits and property lines Hollywood, FL has specific rules for fence height, placement, and appearances in some neighborhoods and HOAs. Building a wood fence in the wrong spot can lead to fines or demands to move it. We help you interpret survey documents, and if you do not have a current survey we will explain when it is wise to get one before we build. We also keep up with local permit requirements so your project complies with city standards.

Why a local installer helps Choosing a company that works in Hollywood every week means fewer surprises. We know how the city inspectors interpret the rules, which materials hold up best close to the beach versus farther inland, and how to schedule work around typical weather patterns. Our goal is to leave you with a wood fence that fits your property, meets local regulations, and still looks good after years of South Florida sun and rain.
