Most residential wood fences in Kansas City don't require a permit if they're under 8 feet tall and not in a front yard setback area. However, both Kansas City, MO and some neighborhoods have specific setback requirements and HOA restrictions you'll need to verify before installation. We always check local codes and help homeowners navigate any permit requirements before starting work.

Cedar and pressure-treated pine are the most reliable options for Kansas City's climate. Cedar naturally resists rot and insect damage, which matters during our humid summers. Pressure-treated pine offers excellent durability at a lower price point and holds up well against our wet springs and temperature extremes. Both need periodic staining to maintain their appearance and structural integrity

Spring and fall are ideal for wood fence installation in Kansas City. The ground is workable, temperatures are moderate, and wood acclimates better before extreme weather hits. We avoid installing during the coldest winter months when the ground freezes and during peak summer heat when wood can warp before it's properly secured. That said, we work year-round and can schedule installations based on your timeline.

Plan to clean and reseal your wood fence every 2–3 years to protect against moisture damage from our heavy spring rains and summer storms. Check for loose boards or posts after severe weather, especially following winter freeze-thaw cycles that can shift footings. Trim back vegetation to prevent moisture buildup, and address any rot spots immediately—our humidity can turn small issues into bigger problems quickly if left untreated.
