Cedar Privacy Fencing in Central Kansas
Cedar privacy fence installation across Haven, Hutchinson, Wichita, and Reno County, KS — tight, gap-free boards built for full privacy and Kansas weather. Free estimates and a 5-year warranty.
A Backyard That's Finally Yours
A cedar privacy fence is the fastest way to turn an open backyard into a quiet, private space you actually want to spend time in. River Creek Fence builds tight, gap-free cedar fences for homeowners all over Reno County — from established Hutchinson neighborhoods to acreages outside Haven and new builds on the edge of Wichita — and we build them to look good from both sides.
Cedar earns its place out here. Its natural oils shrug off rot and insects far better than untreated wood, the grain and warm color give your home real curb appeal, and a solid run of 6- or 8-foot boards blocks sightlines, knocks down the wind, and muffles road noise all at once. Whether you want a classic dog-ear top, a clean flat-top, or a shadowbox that looks finished from the neighbor's yard too, we'll match the style to your home.
Owner Cody Yoder walks every yard before we quote it, so the layout works with your slope, your gates land where you actually use them, and the posts go deep enough to stand straight for decades. You get one honest price and a crew that cleans up after itself.
Is a Cedar Privacy Fence Right for Your Yard?
Great for
- Full privacy and wind-blocking from tight, gap-free 6- or 8-foot boards
- Natural cedar grain and warm color that lifts your home's curb appeal
- Cedar's natural oils resist rot, warping, and insects better than untreated pine
- Keeps kids and dogs safely contained in a yard that feels like its own room
- Leave it to weather to a silver-gray or stain it to match your house
Things to know
- Plan on a clean and re-seal every 2–3 years to fight the Kansas sun
- Costs more up front than chain link or treated-pine privacy fencing
- Lower-grade boards can cup or warp — material quality really matters
- Solid panels catch the wind, so corner and gate bracing has to be done right
Built for Kansas Sun, Wind, and Weather
Central Kansas is hard on a wood fence. Summer sun dries and grays the boards, hard wind leans anything that isn't braced, and ground that bakes then soaks will heave a shallow post right out. We build for all of it — setting line and corner posts in concrete below the frost line, pulling every rail tight and level, and bracing corners and gate posts so a 50-mph gust doesn't rack the panels.
We fasten quality cedar with the right hardware so boards stay put instead of working loose, and we hang gates square so they swing true years from now. The result is a privacy fence that still looks straight and solid long after a quick-build job would be sagging.

Backyard Privacy

Safe for Kids & Dogs
A solid 6-foot fence keeps pets in and gives the kids a safe place to play without you watching the gate.

Pair privacy with pool-area safety so you can relax without the whole block looking on.
Whole-Home Curb Appeal
A clean cedar line frames the yard and adds resale value to homes across Hutchinson and Wichita.

Cedar Privacy Fence Installation FAQ
A well-built cedar privacy fence typically lasts 20–30 years in Central Kansas when the posts are set properly and you re-seal the wood every couple of years. Cedar's natural oils help it resist the rot and insect damage that cut a treated-pine fence's life much shorter.
You don't have to — plenty of folks let cedar weather to a silvery gray, and it still holds up. But a clean and re-seal every 2–3 years keeps the warm color, slows cracking from the Kansas sun, and adds years to the boards. We're happy to walk you through both options.
Most residential privacy fences run 6 feet, with 8 feet available where you want extra height. Height limits, setbacks, and corner-lot sightline rules vary by city and HOA, so we check the local requirements for Hutchinson, Haven, or wherever you are before we build.
Cedar costs a bit more up front but resists warping and rot naturally, looks better, and lasts longer, so it's our go-to for privacy fences. Treated pine is a solid budget option if you want privacy for less and don't mind a little more upkeep. We'll quote both so you can decide.
Most installed cedar privacy fences run about $30–$50 per linear foot here, depending on height, board style, gates, and terrain. The only way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate — we'll measure, talk options, and hand you a written price with no pressure.
It will when it's braced for it. Solid panels catch the wind, so we set posts deep in concrete and brace corners and gates to keep the fence from racking or leaning. Cutting corners on post depth is the number-one reason cheap privacy fences blow loose out here — we don't.
