We cover all of the greater Oklahoma City Metro, west to El Reno, North To Guthrie, East to Shawnee, and South to Pauls Valley. Depending on the job, we may be willing to go farther so don’t hesitate to ask.
The cost of a fence depends upon several factors. The main determining factors consist of what type of fence material is selected, the style of fence being built, what type and how many gates are installed, and, of course, how many linear feet of fence is required. (Linear footage is calculated by measuring the perimeter of the area that the fence will be built on.) For privacy fences Western Red Cedar is the best material to use. We DO NOT recommend the use of pressure treated or Japanese Cedar as both wood types are prone to warping and twisting.
When your backyard backs up against your neighbor’s yard, you’ll want a privacy fence with a height that gives you the most privacy. Usually, this can be accomplished with a 6ft height. But Above All can do height transitions that work between 6ft and 8ft in order to give you more privacy or more view depending on your preferences.
If your backyard does not back up against a neighbor, but to a green space or pond, our ornamental iron fence is a popular choice.
he turnaround time for fence installation depends on several factors that include type of fence, length of the fence to be installed, and site conditions. Project time would also be affected by the removal of any existing fence if required. Usually, an Above All installation takes 2 days here in Central Oklahoma. Please ask your Above All sales representative for scheduling details.
Our wood fences come with a TWO YEAR WARRANTY that covers our installation workmanship. Please see the Above All Fence Warranty for complete details.

The land rights may vary in your area. So, it may be necessary to check with your local Tax Assessors office where you can get the actual parcel/land dimensions. However, the ownership of an existing fence is typically the same owner of the land for which the fence is installed upon. Above All does not conduct any property surveys nor do we imply property lines. If there is an existing fence, you should check with your neighbors to be certain the fence is yours. A survey company can mark your property lines for a fee.
When fences are installed using panels, fencing slopes and irregular ground levels can be achieved very easily by racking the panel. We build with the aesthetics of the top in mind to keep a nice even flow without leaving dips or unnecessary humps in the fence line.
Questions About Wood Fences
Western Red Cedar fences today usually last 12-20 years depending on many factors including moisture content in the ground, sun exposure, and other environmental elements.
Above All uses primarily Western Red Cedar fencing which is naturally resistant to insects, rot, and decay. All of our wood fences are Made in The USA.
YES! If you have a builder say it doesn’t, we recommend you keep walking. All fence posts should have a concrete foundation around them! Our foundations are usually excavated in virgin soil and reach 27″ deep while being anywhere from 8in to 10in in diameter depending on the post size.
Many of our competitors cut cost by only using two 2×4 runners. However cedar privacy fences should have THREE 2×4 framing runners to keep the fence pickets from bowing. When it comes to 4ft wood picket fences, two 2×4’s are required due to the smaller span between framing runners.
Above All always recommends staining wood fence to make it last as long as possible. We offer affordable staining options to all of our customers.
