The Right Fence Makes Your Property Better.

A great residential fence does more than mark a property line. It gives kids and pets a safe place to play, blocks the view from a noisy street, raises curb appeal, and ends the conversation about where your yard begins and your neighbor's ends. The wrong fence — cheap materials, shallow posts, sloppy gate alignment — creates problems for years.

Rio Fence Co. has installed fences for hundreds of Lincoln homeowners since 2017. Jorge personally walks every property, recommends the right material for your goals and budget, and his crew builds it the right way: deep posts, quality lumber or vinyl, and clean finish details. That's why we have 25 five-star Google reviews and a steady stream of referrals from past customers.

Free on-site estimates. Summer 2026 install dates filling fast. Honest pricing. Reach out now to lock in your install date before Memorial Day or early June.

Cedar & Wood Privacy Fences

The classic Lincoln backyard fence. Cedar's natural oils resist rot and insects, weathering to a soft silver-gray over time or holding its warm tone if sealed. Treated pine offers a lower-cost option with similar structure.

  • Cedar privacy, shadowbox, board-on-board, picket styles
  • Pressure-treated pine for budget-conscious projects
  • Galvanized steel posts available for max longevity
  • Lifespan: 15–20 years (cedar), 10–15 years (pine)

  • Privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles
  • White, tan, gray, and woodgrain finishes
  • Won't warp, rot, splinter, or need painting
  • Lifespan: 25–30+ years with virtually no upkeep

Best Value Residential galvanized chain-link fence installation in progress by Rio Fence Co in Lincoln NE

Residential Chain-Link Fences

Chain-link is the most affordable way to enclose a yard for kids, pets, or a pool. Modern black vinyl-coated chain-link practically disappears against landscaping — far cleaner-looking than the old galvanized look most people picture.

  • Galvanized or black vinyl-coated mesh
  • 4-ft, 5-ft, and 6-ft heights for residential use
  • Pet-safe latches and self-closing gate options
  • Lifespan: 20+ years; minimal maintenance

Common Questions

Residential Fencing FAQ

Real answers from real questions Lincoln homeowners ask us all the time.

Can you install my fence before summer 2026?
If you reach out in May, most residential cedar privacy, vinyl, and chain-link installs can be completed before Memorial Day weekend or in early June — in time for graduations, summer BBQs, and pool season. The summer schedule is filling fast; call early to lock your install date.
How much does a residential fence cost in Lincoln, NE?
Cost depends on material, height, linear footage, and how complex the layout is. Cedar privacy is typically mid-range, vinyl runs higher upfront but lasts longer, and chain-link is the most affordable option. Ornamental aluminum is at the premium end. Jorge gives every customer a free, written, line-itemed estimate so there are no surprises — just a clear number you can plan around.
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Lincoln, NE?
Lincoln requires permits for fences over 6 feet tall and any fence in a front yard setback. Most standard 6-ft backyard privacy fences do not require a permit. Some HOAs have additional rules about height, material, and placement. Jorge will flag any permit or HOA considerations during the estimate visit.
What's the best fence material for Nebraska weather?
Cedar handles Nebraska's freeze-thaw cycle well thanks to its natural rot resistance. Vinyl is bulletproof against weather but more expensive upfront. Ornamental aluminum is rust-proof and ideal for decorative or pool-code applications. Chain-link with galvanized or black vinyl coating holds up well too. There's no single "best" — the right answer depends on what you want the fence to do.
How long will my fence last?
A properly installed cedar privacy fence typically lasts 15–20 years in Nebraska. Treated pine: 10–15 years. Vinyl: 25–30+ years. Ornamental aluminum: 25+ years. Chain-link: 20+ years. The biggest factor isn't the material — it's how deep the posts are set and whether the installer used quality fasteners. Cheap installs fail at the post line first.
How long does residential fence installation take?
Most residential fence projects in Lincoln are completed in 1–2 days once materials are on site. Larger or more complex jobs (long runs, multiple gates, slope work, demo of an existing fence) may take 3 days. Jorge gives a realistic timeline at the time of your estimate and keeps you updated throughout.
Do you handle spring storm damage and fence repairs?
Absolutely. Storm damage from Nebraska's high spring winds is one of our most common projects in May. Broken posts, sagging gates, sections blown loose, partial replacements — text or call (402) 780-8322 with photos and we'll get you scheduled fast.
Do you tear out and haul away my old fence?
Yes. Tear-out and haul-away of an existing fence is included on most projects (we'll itemize it on the estimate). You won't be left with a pile of old wood in your yard.
Will you call diggers / locate utilities before you start?
Always. Nebraska 811 utility locates are part of every job. We never auger a single post hole until utilities are marked. Those orange and red flags you'll see on the lawn are part of how we keep your job safe and on schedule.
