Wood is still the fence most Ann Arbor homeowners ask for, and cedar is the wood we suggest for the boards. Shade from mature trees keeps fences damp here, so we hold the boards clear of the soil and set treated posts below Michigan's frost depth. We build privacy, picket and shadowbox styles and can follow a sloping yard board by board.
