Our Fence Types
Choosing the Right Fence Type
Cedar Fencing
Cedar is a premier choice for natural privacy and classic beauty across Front Range backyards. Our hand-selected #1 grade cedar features dense heartwood fibers with natural oils that resist insect damage, rot, and moisture absorption. It provides a timeless aesthetic that can be custom-stained to match any residential style.
Ornamental Metal Fencing
Designed for property owners seeking long-lasting security and elevated curb appeal without sacrificing open views. Marquez Fencing uses rust-proof aluminum and high-grade stainless steel with specialized powder-coated finishes that resist high-altitude UV rays and winter road salt. Available in clean flat-top and traditional spear-top designs.
Chain Link Fencing
Chain link remains one of the most cost-effective solutions for property boundary definition, pet containment, and commercial security. We install residential and industrial-grade galvanized chain link as well as vinyl-coated options that blend smoothly into surrounding landscaping.
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing delivers a pristine privacy perimeter with virtually zero ongoing maintenance. Engineered with built-in UV inhibitors, modern vinyl won’t rot, warp, chip, or require repainting. It handles Colorado’s freeze-thaw weather cycles with ease and cleans up with a simple garden hose rinse.
TREX Fencing
Composite Trex fencing combines the rich look of natural wood with incredible structural strength. Made from recycled materials, Trex panels are wind-tested to handle high mountain gusts, will never splinter or rot, and provide complete full-privacy coverage that lasts for decades.
How to Match Your Property Needs with the Right Fence
Choosing the right material requires evaluating your daily lifestyle, property landscape, and neighborhood guidelines:
- HOA Guidelines & Covenants: Check your neighborhood association rules first. Many master-planned communities dictate specific approved materials, post heights, and stain colors.
- Property Topography: If your yard sits on a slope, consider rackable metal panels or stepped wood sections that follow your land’s natural grade without leaving bottom gaps.
- Maintenance Commitments: If you prefer a set-it-and-forget-it fence, vinyl or Trex composites eliminate the need for periodic staining. If you prefer natural wood, high-grade cedar offers long-term durability when properly maintained.
- Wind Exposure: Open backyards exposed to high plains winds require heavy-duty post setting past local frost lines and structural panel considerations designed for wind load resistance.
FAQs About Fence Types & Materials
What is the most durable fence material for Colorado weather?
Composite Trex, powder-coated aluminum, and premium vinyl offer the highest durability against extreme sunlight, heavy snow, and temperature shifts. If you prefer natural wood, hand-selected #1 cedar provides the best resilience against local weather conditions when properly sealed.
Which fence material requires the least amount of maintenance?
Vinyl and ornamental metal require the least maintenance. Neither material needs staining, painting, or sealing—an occasional wash with mild soap and water is all it takes to keep them looking brand new.
What is the best fence type for keeping dogs safely contained?
Solid cedar privacy fencing, vinyl, and high-tensile chain link are all excellent options for dog owners. If your pet tends to dig, we can set fence bases flush with the grade or add beneath-the-surface barrier footings to prevent escape.
How do I know if my yard needs stepping or racking for a sloped fence?
Racked fences follow the smooth contour of your ground along a slope, eliminating bottom gaps. Stepped fences create horizontal steps down a steeper hill using level panels. Our team evaluates your property’s topography during your estimate to recommend the best option for your landscape.
Can I mix different fence types on the same property?
Yes, mixing fence types is a common practice for saving money while maximizing function. Many homeowners install tall wood or vinyl privacy fencing along the back and side property lines while using ornamental metal along the front boundary to maintain open curb appeal.
