Wood Privacy Fencing in Ellettsville, IN
By BloomWorks Fencing & More • August 2, 2026
Ellettsville’s mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions means backyards sit close together, and a wood privacy fence is still the most requested way to reclaim that space — without turning the yard into a walled-off box.
Most of the wood privacy fencing we install in Ellettsville is a standard 6-foot cedar or pressure-treated pine run, dog-eared or flat-top depending on the house. Cedar holds up better against Indiana’s humidity swings and takes stain more evenly, but pressure-treated pine is the more budget-friendly option and performs fine with a coat of sealant every few years.
Monroe County’s clay-heavy soil is the main thing that trips up a DIY install or a rushed crew: posts set too shallow or without enough concrete around the base will heave and lean within a couple of winters. We set every post below the frost line with a proper concrete footing, which is the difference between a fence that’s still straight in five years and one that isn’t.
If you’re replacing an existing fence, we’ll also flag anything worth knowing before we start — property line questions, HOA height restrictions (common in some of Ellettsville’s newer developments), or a gate placement that makes more sense once we’ve actually walked the yard.
