Why Homeowners Choose
cedar fences

Cedar fencing is one of the simplest ways to increase property value while avoiding the ongoing costs of cheaper materials. Lower-grade fences often warp, fade, or need repairs within a few seasons. On the other hand, cedar holds its shape, keeps its appearance, and reduces the need for constant fixes.

Cedar Rustic Fence utilizes premium Western Red Cedar and Northern White Cedar, selected for their durability and performance in Chicagoland conditions. These materials resist moisture, insects, and structural movement, helping your fence last longer without constant fixes. With fewer repairs and a longer lifespan, cedar delivers a stronger return on your investment from the start and continues to pay off over time.

Naturally Resistant

Cedar wood naturally repels insects and resists decay, rot, and water, ensuring your fence remains strong and beautiful for years without heavy chemicals.
Low Maintenance

Requiring minimal upkeep compared to other materials, cedar fences stay looking great with just basic care, saving you time and money.
Aesthetic Appeal

Cedar's unique grain and warm color palette add a touch of rustic elegance to any property. It naturally weathers to a beautiful silver-gray, enhancing its charm and making your outdoor living space effortlessly stylish.
Eco-Friendly Choice

As a sustainable resource, cedar wood offers an environmentally conscious fencing solution that minimizes your carbon footprint.
Dimensionally Stable

Since cedar is naturally decay-resistant, it doesn’t need to be treated with harmful chemicals that cause treated fences to bend and warp.

About Us About Installation Process

What Our Customers Say About Us

Joseph H.

The salesman Alberto was answered all my questions. He was honest and not pushy at all. The install crew did an awesome job on the fence. Their attention to detail, craftsmanship and neatness was top notch. Very well built gate with a high quality latch hardware. Highly recommended!
Christine Chimera

Cedar Rustic did an amazing job from the product team who came to our house to survey the area to give us a quote, to the installers, to the finance team to called us about the bill. The fence looks beautiful! The people who put the fence up followed our complicated instructions on how to redraw the fence along a new property line and they even cut around tree roots to sit flush again the property line while not damaging the trees.
Joyce Sampson

Kevin Koopman

Excellent installation and great features.
Marla Truitt

This company put our cedar fence in almost 40 years ago. We have had them due touch ups in areas when needed. After a storm a tree fell and took out a large section. They were able to replace the fence posts and sections quickly with high quality cedar. Workers took away all the debris from the post holes. Excellent job was done by all. We are very happy
Crystal Wolfe

The original installation of our vinyl fence less than a year ago was amazing, and we have had no complaints there. We experienced an issue with a lock on one of the doors, and the service was excellent. They came on the appointed date, found and fixed the issues and alleviated any concerns. Recommend them to anyone looking for a fence.
Rich Brunker

Cedar Rustic Fence is Quality from start to finish in all aspects of their business. The office is organized and efficient, supplying information and communication at all times. Debbie came out, within 2 days of contact, listened to our needs, measured, drew it out, and left an estimate within an hour. She thoroughly explained the process, leaving us with no questions unanswered. Financials were worked out seemlessly in 48 hours, and we were scheduled 2 weeks out. Integrity in their word, the installation crew showed up on time the very day set originally. The install crew was respectful of all surroundings, neighbors as well as our home. The quality of the cedar fence is top- notch. All sections and gates measured out perfectly. They came in, had old fence and posts taken down and out in an hour and a half. Methodically, they worked very organized and clean ly. They know their trade, and their work proves it! We are very excited to have a beautiful fence to appreciate for years to come. Thank You Cedar Rustic!!
