Looking for wood fence installation in Cottage Grove, MN? MN Tree Pros has been serving Cottage Grove and the surrounding Twin Cities metro since 2008. We're licensed, insured, and locally owned — and we actually pick up the phone.
## Wood fences built for Minnesota weather Cedar and treated pine privacy, picket, and board-on-board fences, set on posts deep enough to survive frost heave. Most of the wood fence failures we get called to replace are not rot — they are posts that were not set below the frost line and pushed themselves out of the ground over three winters. ### How we build it - **Posts below frost depth** — 42 inches or more in the metro, set in concrete with a drainage base - 4x4 or 6x6 posts, 2x4 rails, cedar or treated pickets - Gates hung on heavy hardware with diagonal bracing so they do not sag - Utility locate before any digging, and a check of your city's height and setback rules ### Typical cost | Style | Per linear foot installed | |---|---| | Treated pine privacy, 6 ft | $35 – $55 | | Cedar privacy, 6 ft | $45 – $75 | | Cedar board-on-board or shadowbox | $55 – $90 | | Picket, 4 ft | $30 – $55 | Grade changes, rock, tear-out of an old fence, and gate count move the number. ### Care Cedar left bare weathers to gray and lasts; sealed every few years it holds color. We stain new fences after they have dried out, usually the following season.
