Request an Estimate (918) 882-4622Your backyard should feel like an escape, not a stage. When neighbors can see every barbecue and every moment of relaxation, that sense of retreat disappears. A privacy fence changes everything. It creates a defined boundary between your home life and the outside world, giving you space to unwind without feeling watched.
Many Tulsa homeowners reach out to us after years of putting up with inadequate fencing or no fence at all. They describe the frustration of not being able to let kids play freely, or the awkwardness of backyard gatherings when passersby can observe every conversation. Privacy fencing solves these problems by creating a solid barrier that blocks sightlines, reduces noise, and establishes your property as your own territory.
We handle privacy fence installations throughout Tulsa and surrounding areas, working with homeowners to design and build fences that match their property, lifestyle, and budget. Whether you want a classic wood privacy fence or something with a bit more character, our crews have the experience to build it right the first time.

Options and Materials
Privacy fencing comes in several styles and materials. Your choice affects appearance, durability, maintenance requirements, and cost. We help you weigh these factors during your consultation.
During your estimate, we bring samples so you can see and feel the difference between materials. The right choice depends on your priorities: maximum lifespan, lowest initial cost, or best appearance.
The FenceBee Process
We follow a consistent process for every privacy fence installation. This keeps projects on track and prevents the miscommunications that cause delays and frustration.

- 5
Installation
Our crew arrives with all materials and equipment. We set posts first, allowing concrete footings to cure before attaching rails and pickets. Most residential projects take 1-3 days.

Final Walkthrough
We walk the completed fence with you, pointing out features and answering any questions. We confirm you are satisfied before considering the job complete.
Timelines and Scheduling
Most privacy fence installations in Tulsa take 1-3 days once we begin work on site. Larger properties or projects with multiple gates may take longer. The timeline includes post setting on day one, allowing concrete to set overnight, then rail and picket installation the following day or days.
We typically schedule installations within 1-3 weeks of estimate approval, depending on season. Spring and early summer are our busiest times, so planning ahead helps secure your preferred dates. Weather can affect scheduling; we avoid setting posts during heavy rain or extreme cold, as these conditions compromise concrete curing.
From first call to completed fence, most projects wrap up within 3-4 weeks. Complex custom designs or material special orders may extend this timeline.
Pricing Factors
Privacy fence pricing varies based on your specific project. We provide accurate quotes after measuring your property, but these factors influence the final number:
- Linear feet of fencing needed determines material quantities and labor time
- Material choice: cedar costs more than treated pine; board-on-board uses more lumber than standard designs
- Fence height: 6-foot fencing is standard; 8-foot requires taller posts and more material
- Number and style of gates: walk gates are simpler than wide drive gates
- Terrain: slopes, rocks, or tree roots increase installation difficulty
- Access: easy access for equipment speeds installation; tight access adds labor time
- Removal of existing fencing: if you need old fence removed, this adds to the project
We never give ballpark numbers over the phone. Every property is different, and accurate pricing requires seeing your site. Our estimates are detailed and binding; the price we quote is the price you pay unless you request changes.
Tulsa-Specific Considerations
Tulsa weather puts fences to the test. Summer heat, spring storms, and occasional ice all affect fence performance. We account for local conditions in our material selection and installation methods.
Oklahoma soil varies across the Tulsa area. Some neighborhoods have clay that expands and contracts with moisture; others have rocky ground that challenges post hole digging. Our crews adjust post depth and concrete mixes based on what they encounter on your specific lot.
Tulsa and many surrounding cities require permits for fences over certain heights. Most privacy fences at 6 feet fall under standard residential allowances, but setback requirements from property lines apply everywhere. We confirm local requirements during your consultation to avoid surprises.
Wind is a factor worth mentioning. Oklahoma gets gusty conditions, and solid privacy fences catch wind like sails. Proper post depth and secure rail connections prevent the leaning and failure you see in poorly built fences after storms. Our installations are engineered to handle normal Tulsa weather conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a privacy fence last in Oklahoma?
Cedar privacy fences typically last 15-25 years in Tulsa when properly installed and maintained. Pressure-treated pine fences average 10-15 years. Staining or sealing every few years extends lifespan significantly.
Do I need to be home during installation?
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the work area and can reach you by phone if questions arise, we can complete most installations while you are at work. We do recommend being present for the final walkthrough.
What about my neighbors? Who owns the fence?
The fence belongs to whoever pays for it. We install fences on your property, set back from the property line per local requirements. If you want to share costs with a neighbor, that arrangement is between you and them.
Can you install a fence on a slope?
Yes. We use stepped or racked installation methods depending on the grade. Stepped fencing maintains level sections with drops between; racked fencing follows the terrain angle. We recommend the best approach for your specific slope.
How do I maintain my new privacy fence?
Check annually for loose boards or damaged sections. Address rot or damage quickly before it spreads. Staining every 2-3 years protects wood from UV damage and moisture. Keep vegetation trimmed back from the fence line.
