Classic spaced picket
The white picket fence is an American icon — used to mark property lines since the nation's founding. Ours come in evenly spaced flat-top Virginian, square Nantucket, and capped profiles. Some call it the "friendly fence": open and low enough to say hello to a neighbor over, perfect for front yards and garden borders.
Scalloped & arched
A softer, decorative line - scalloped and negative-scallop tops that curve between posts, plus arbor entries that frame a walkway or garden gate.
Dog-ear, Gothic & gates
Distinctive tops and matching access - spaced dog-ear, pointed French Gothic, and picket gates built to match your fence.
What a picket fence costs. Most picket fences run about $10–20 per foot installed. Height, length, the wood, and the picket spacing and top profile move the price. Exact pricing comes from a free on-site estimate.

★★★★★
I had a large fence put around my yard and then a picket fence at the end of my driveway and everything turned out perfect! I was very pleased with the work Goyo did, he was very good and patient with me when I had a specific vision in mind for my picket fence. Johnathan was great at overseeing my project as well! I would highly recommend Fenceworks!

I had my 18 year-old picket fence replaced by FenceWorks. The quoting and scheduling were handled by Cody, and the on-site replacement was done by Victor. Both Victor and Cody did a superb job. They were knowledgeable, efficient, on-time and professional. The cost was competitive and reasonable. I will call FenceWorks again when I need fence work done. They are the best I have seen.

Picket fence FAQ
Quick answers on cost, styles, spacing, wood, and upkeep.
Picket fencing is priced by the linear foot and depends on height (most are 3-4 ft), the wood (cedar vs pressure-treated pine), the picket spacing and top profile, and any gates. Because the pickets are spaced, they often use less material than a solid privacy fence. We give free, itemized on-site estimates. As a 2026 ballpark, most picket fences run about $10-20 per foot installed.
Flat-top Virginian, square Nantucket 2x2, capped, pointed French Gothic, dog-ear, and scalloped or negative-scallop tops - plus matching walk and driveway gates. We'll show you samples of each on-site.
Classic pickets are spaced for an open, decorative look. A 3-4 ft picket fence keeps small children and most dogs safely in the yard while still letting you keep an eye on them — and it does a fine job keeping stray animals and solicitors out. For small pets that might slip between pickets, we can tighten the spacing to a more pet-friendly gap, or add a solid section where you need it.
Pressure-treated pine is the economical choice and resists rot and termites; cedar is naturally rot-resistant, stays straighter, and takes paint or stain beautifully - a crisp white is the classic picket look. We install both.
Picket fences are usually 3-4 ft - low enough that most front-yard height limits allow them, which is part of their appeal. Some cities still require a permit and many HOAs require approval before installation; we help with the layout and specs.
Plan to clean it and refresh the paint or stain every few years, and swap the occasional cracked picket. Left unsealed, wood can take on water, rot, and eventually sag or warp — so a little upkeep goes a long way. Cedar naturally resists rot, and pressure-treated pine is treated against rot and termites. Want the look with no painting at all? See our composite fencing.
