Add curb appeal and boundary definition with a straight, even picket fence that opens and closes right. Frontier Fences Lakeland has served since 2018, installing and repairing wood and vinyl picket fence systems in Lakeland with clean lines, tight spacing, and sturdy posts.
Every picket fence starts with layout and a stable base, because small errors show up in every panel. We verify property lines and call 811 for utility locating, then set a string line to keep runs straight and corners true. Posts are set plumb in concrete footings sized for the load, with attention to gate posts that need extra stiffness to prevent sag. On repairs, we diagnose the cause first, failed post, heaved footing, loose rails, or rusted fasteners, then reset posts, replace rails, and rehang gates to restore alignment.
In Florida sun and rain, material choice and finish determine how long a picket fence keeps its look. For wood picket fence projects we install pressure-treated pine rails and posts, then you can choose factory-primed pickets or cedar for a cleaner grain. We recommend sealing or staining exposed end cuts, using exterior-grade fasteners (hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel), and setting pickets with consistent gaps for airflow and drainage. For low-maintenance options, vinyl picket fence panels resist rot and termites, and we match cap styles, picket profiles, and rail spacing so new sections blend with existing fence lines.
Homeowners and businesses in Lakeland choose us because we build picket fences that look crisp on day one and stay that way. Our crews focus on straight runs, uniform picket spacing, and gate hardware that actually holds alignment, including heavy-duty hinges and latches matched to the gate weight. You get clear options on height, picket style (dog-ear, pointed, or flat-top), spacing for pets, and transitions to drive gates or side gates. We show up with the right equipment, post-hole augers, levels, string lines, and concrete mixing tools, so installs move efficiently without cutting corners.
Before we call a job complete, we walk the line with you and check the details that matter: posts plumb, rails tight, pickets even, and gates swinging freely with consistent reveals. We verify latch function, adjust hinges, and clean up concrete splatter, cutoffs, and packaging so your yard or frontage is left tidy. You receive a written estimate up front and a clear scope that lists materials, post spacing, gate count, and hardware so there are no surprises. If you called us for picket fence repair, we will also explain what failed and what we changed so you can avoid the same issue later.
We do both. Common repairs include leaning sections, broken pickets/panels, damaged posts, loose rails, and gate hardware issues, and we will tell you when replacement is more cost-effective.
Yes, removal and haul-off can be included in the written estimate. We can also coordinate phased replacements to keep pets contained and access available.
We install vinyl, pressure-treated wood, aluminum ornamental, and galvanized chain-link fencing, plus matching walk gates and double-drive gates.
Timeline depends on footage, terrain, number of gates, and removal needs. After an on-site measure, we provide a realistic schedule and keep you updated if weather or material lead times change.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that outlines the scope, materials, gates, and any removal or site conditions discussed on-site.
A picket fence should do two jobs at once: look sharp from the street and stay straight, secure, and functional through daily use. Frontier Fences Lakeland installs new picket fence lines and handles repairs such as leaning sections, broken pickets, loose rails, and sagging gates. We work with both wood picket fence and vinyl picket fence systems, helping you choose the right height, spacing, and gate layout for pets, pool areas, gardens, or storefronts.
For picket fence installation, we start with measurements and a plan for post spacing, corner bracing, and gate placement. Posts are set plumb and anchored in concrete footings, then rails and pickets are installed with consistent reveals so the fence looks uniform from end to end. If you want a classic look, a wood picket fence using pressure-treated pine is a solid choice, and we can also build with cedar pickets for a cleaner finish. For minimal upkeep, a vinyl picket fence provides color consistency and resistance to rot and insects.
For picket fence repair, we focus on the root cause, not just the symptom. A loose or leaning section often traces back to a failed post, undermined footing, or hardware that is undersized for the gate weight. We can reset posts, replace rails, swap damaged pickets, and upgrade to heavier hinges and a stronger latch so gates swing freely and stay aligned. If matching existing materials matters, we source comparable picket profiles, cap styles, and fastener colors when available.
When you are ready to move forward, we provide a clear written estimate that outlines materials, hardware, and the work sequence. After installation or repair, we do a final walkthrough to confirm gate operation, alignment, and cleanup. If you want help choosing between wood and vinyl, or need a plan to blend a repaired section into an older fence line, we will walk you through options and pricing so you can decide with confidence.
