The dog ear design is common choice for wood privacy fences in Waverly, Nebraska because it provides a touch of flair without taking away from the fence's simple beauty or privacy.
The tops of our pickets can be shaped into the traditional Gothic shape - which is very popular for wood fences with a more traditional style.
The tops of our pickets can be shaped into a decorative French Gothic shape - which maintains a traditional look while adding a slightly more decorative flair.
Another popular choice for wood fences in Waverly, Nebraska is the convex top cut. Just about every style of wood fencing can be finished with the convex cut – including wood picket fences.
Some of our Waverly, Nebraska clients choose the concave top cut, the inverse of the more popular convex top cut. It's entirely up to you to decide what looks best and how you want your house or business to appear.

There are four main components that determine the strength and longevity of a wood fence at properties across Waverly, Nebraska.
Naturally beautiful wood posts, pickets, rails, join forces to form this sturdy fencing option. Constructed from cyprus and kiln-dried red cedar, Empire Fence Company has the expertise necessary to combine the key features of a wood fence to meet and exceed your expectations.
There is simply no way to stress enough - the importance of strong posts that are properly installed for the strength and life of your wood fence!
When properly installed by our expert fence team, our wood fence posts will stand strong and last for years. Quality matters! Our wood fences are built and expertly installed to look great and to stand the test of time! It all starts with a strong fence post!
All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Waverly, Nebraska.
Did you know that there are different grades and types of wood? Our professional-grade wood rails are what separates us from many of our competitors. Our rails are of a higher grade than other options we see across the Waverly, Nebraska region. This is an important difference, because the horizontal rails fail frequently on lower-quality wood fences. We see it all the time!
People sitting on the top of the fence, climbing the fence, leaning heavy objects against the fence, or branches falling onto the top of the fence can all easily damage a low-quality wood fence rail! Rot, splitting, warping ... these are all much more likely and much more severe with lower quality wood materials. Our wood fences are built to last and a key reason our wood fences last so long and look like new - is because of the higher quality wood fencing materials we install for our residential and our commercial clients.
All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Waverly, Nebraska.
Just like our posts and our rails, we install high-quality wood fence pickets. The thicker, wider, and higher-density wood cost a little more than the cheap wood sold at big box stores - however wood fences across Waverly, Nebraska take a lot of abuse and our high-quality pickets are proven to be more resilient! For wood fences that last and look great, high-quality wood pickets are a must!
All of our wood fence posts, rails, and pickets are expertly chosen and installed, to maximize the life of your wood fence in Waverly, Nebraska.
The type of wood you choose for your wood fence will determine the look as well as provide protection against Waverly, Nebraska elements. The type of wood used to construct your fence will have an effect on the look of the finish. Empire Fence Company is proud to offer cyprus and kiln-dried red cedar. For convenience, prestained pine is available to be installed. Choosing a paint, stain, or sealer after installation to match your personal preference is another way to create a long-lasting wood finish that will enhance the beauty of your wood fence.

The best scenario when having a fence installed is to have a perfectly flat, level yard. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Let's explore how fence professionals at Empire Fence Company can design the perfect solution for your situation.
The best scenario when having a fence installed is to have a perfectly flat, level yard. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. At first glance, many yards appear to be mostly flat and level. However, a closer usually reveals slopes and dips in your yard that can have a dramatic impact on the installation of your fence.
Don't worry! There are many ways to install a beautiful fence on sloping or uneven ground!

Homeowners will often ask that their fence is “level” … which is totally understandable. However, a level fence on uneven or sloping ground is probably NOT what you really want!
As you can see here, if your yard slopes or dips, a level fence may not be the right approach.

In some cases, a property might have a consistent slope from front to back or side to side. If this is the case, matching the slope of the ground yields a beautiful “straight”, sloping fence line.
Many people love the look of this approach.

Another way to handle a sloping yard is to use a “stepped” approach. Each individual fence panel is level and steps down, consistent with the slope of the yard.
Depending on the steepness of the slope, each fence panel is at ground level on one end, but can be several inches off the ground on the other. For this reason, if the look of a “stepped” approach is your preference, we only recommend it for gradual slopes.

Another great solution for sloping yards is to add a decorative retaining wall along the perimeter and to build the fence on top of the wall.
By doing this, you get to have the level stepped approach while maintaining excellent ground level integrity.

Shown here is the most common approach to uneven and sloping ground. The fence simply follows the contour of the land. The “rolling”, “flowing” fence line closely matches the ground - creating the most natural look for a fence.
We carefully place posts at key points along the perimeter to most closely match the contour of the land … but there are limitations to how closely we can match sudden changes in height and contour. So small gaps are to be expected in certain points at the bottom of the fence. This is completely normal and there are ways to “hide” them if that is a concern for you (including using a decorative retaining wall as described above).

The “stepped” approach is often used for ground that is both sloping and uneven. This is really a matter of preference but for ground that is “wavy”, this may not yield the desired result, as the fence can look very “choppy” (as shown here).
Stepped or rolling with the contours - sometimes it's just a matter of personal preference. We've done it both ways, many times.

For the ultimate in customization, another option MIGHT be to install the fence perfectly level, then we extend the bottom of the fence to match the contours of the ground.
This is almost exclusively available as an option for WOOD FENCES only.
This requires a lot more planning and calculation. This equates to more time - meaning a higher cost. Much longer wood posts, rails, and pickets may also be needed - which also increases costs.
Another issue is, by design - the bottom rails are not level and are not evenly spaced. The bottom rails simulate the contour of the ground below it - which is a look that not everyone likes. So while the top of the fence is perfectly straight and level, the bottom most certainly is not!

Wood fencing is more subject to warping and decay because of its natural materials. With a little TLC, our high-quality wood fences will survive for decades! The first step in ensuring the durability of your fence is to seal and treat it with a high-quality stain or paint. Keeping an eye out for evidence of wear and tear as time passes on is the next task, as is repairing any damage you may find. Your wood fence can survive for decades if you give it the right care and attention it needs.
For all of our wood fence jobs, we use high quality western red cedar across Nebraska and Iowa properties supplied from Stephens Pipe & Steel. This is a much higher quality than some of the wood types our competitors may use that can be cheaper products that are not as strong and attractive.
Every wood fence installation we complete comes with our 1 year labor warranty for your peace of mind. Due to the natural material of wood, there is not a manufacturer warranty available on the wood itself, however, you will receive a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the Postmaster® posts we install.
