Privacy Fence Installation Services Lincoln NE: Custom Privacy Fencing Lincoln NE: How Much Privacy Do You Really Need?
How much privacy do you really need? Start with what you want to stop seeing, or stop being seen by. A backyard facing a busy Lincoln road needs close to solid coverage. A yard behind a quiet neighbor may only need a screen at patio height.
That is why our first step is a free on-site consultation. We measure your property and ask about your goals, whether that is security, pet safety, aesthetics, or a mix. Custom privacy fencing in Lincoln, NE is less about a catalog item and more about how you use the yard, including sun, airflow, and where the dog likes to patrol.
Custom Privacy Fencing Services Lincoln NE: Comparing Our Four Wood Styles
Our wood fences come in cedar, pine, or redwood, in four styles. The table describes each in general terms. See real examples in our semi-private wood gallery.
Style | How It Is Typically Built | Typical Privacy Level | Good Fit For |
Shadowbox | Boards alternate on either side of the rails | Moderate to high, with some airflow | Windy lots where you still want a solid look |
Flat Panel | Boards set tightly in a uniform flat face | High | A clean, simple look from both sides |
Board on Board | Overlapping boards that cover the gaps | Highest of the four | Yards facing a street or a close neighbor |
Semi Private | Boards with deliberate spacing | Moderate | Marking a boundary without a closed-in feel |
Which style fits your yard? For maximum coverage, ask about board on board first. For a boundary that does not feel like a wall, ask about semi private. We show the options during your free estimate so you can compare them against your actual fence line.

Privacy Fence Installation Lincoln NE: Property Lines, Permits, and Calling 811
Do I need a permit or a utility locate before my privacy fence goes in? Check before you build, because a fence is only as good as its placement. The City of Lincoln publishes its rules on its fence installation page. As we read it, a fence under 7 feet in a side or rear yard needs no permit, one on a corner lot or near a driveway or alley needs Public Works review for sight distance, and one over 7 feet needs a building permit. The fence must sit completely on your property, and a registered land surveyor can confirm your line.
Before any digging, Nebraska requires a locate request at least two full business days ahead, which you start by calling 811. Rules in Waverly, Hickman, and Ashland can differ from Lincoln, so check with your local office. If you have an HOA, we work with you so the installation follows its guidelines and local regulations.
Custom Fencing Solutions Lincoln NE: When Wood Is Not the Answer
What if you want privacy without the staining? Wood needs periodic staining or sealing. Vinyl is low-maintenance and long-lasting, with the look of wood and less upkeep. Ornamental metal suits front yards where curb appeal matters, though it is open and will not block the view. Chain link, galvanized or vinyl-dipped, fits large areas, dog runs, and commercial properties.
Custom fencing solutions in Lincoln, NE can reach past the fence line. We also install landscape curbing, custom decking, and custom concrete, so one crew can cover the whole yard.
