Wood Fencing Styles That Fit Berkley’s Character
Classic Board on Board Cedar
Classic board on board cedar fencing is the signature wood fence style across Berkley’s small-town residential blocks. The overlapping board pattern reads cleanly from both yards and offers full privacy while keeping the visual finish balanced on both sides. The cedar tones blend with the painted-trim aesthetic common across the 48072 area and complement the painted siding found on many Berkley homes. Pair with our custom gates built in the same board on board style.
Traditional Cedar Privacy
Traditional cedar privacy fencing offers Berkley homeowners a clean 6-foot privacy face with vertical boards set flush against each other. The style reads simple and timeless, suiting the established residential character of the streets near 12 Mile Road. Cedar’s natural rot resistance reduces post replacement needs over the 15 to 25 year typical fence lifespan, and the wood accepts custom stain colors well. For coordinated yard treatment, see our privacy fencing approach.
Shadow Box Wood Fencing
Shadow box cedar fences weave boards on alternating sides of a center stringer, letting light and breeze pass while still breaking up the sight line. Berkley homeowners on smaller lots reach for this style because it keeps the backyard from feeling closed in. The mirror-image finish on each face also avoids the awkward back-side look that solid stockade fences can leave for the neighbor. For a metal alternative with similar visual rhythm, ask about our aluminum fencing.
Wood Fencing Designed for Berkley Residential Blocks
Berkley lots in the 48072 area run consistent in size, with rear yards typically 35 to 45 feet deep and lot widths between 40 and 55 feet across most residential blocks. Our crew plans post spacing and panel layout to suit this scale, and we recommend board on board patterns where neighbors share lot lines on both sides of the property.
We also factor in mature street trees and the older underground utilities common across Berkley. Miss Dig 811 utility marking gets called before any post hole gets dug, and every site condition is documented at the free on-site consultation.

Serving Berkley and Surrounding Communities
Eastside Fence works across the 48072 area of Berkley, with regular projects on the residential streets between 11 Mile Road and Catalpa Drive, plus the blocks along Coolidge Highway and the residential edges that border Royal Oak and Huntington Woods.
We also serve neighbor cities including Royal Oak, Huntington Woods, Birmingham, and Ferndale, plus other parts of south Oakland County.
If your Berkley project combines classic board on board with a small shadow box section for side-yard balance, our crew handles both in one mobilization. For projects near Huntington Woods, the same small-town respect applies.
Our Commitment to Craftsmanship
Berkley customers see our craftsmanship in the way classic board on board panels read identical from both yards. Posts set plumb, board overlaps measured for consistent spacing, and gate hardware leveled for clean swing across years of use. Three generations of family fence builders refined this approach through hundreds of Berkley installations across the 48072 area.
Delivering Quality Across Every Project
Berkley residential lots typically support fence runs between 110 and 200 feet, and our crew sizes the build approach to match. We plan layout, dig, and finish so the long view down the fence reads straight and balanced from corner to corner.
From a board on board cedar privacy backyard to a pressure-treated side-yard perimeter, the work holds up. Every Berkley fence carries our 2-year labor warranty, and our crews stand behind the result for the life of the wood.
Frequently Asked Questions
Board on board cedar fencing is the most classic style across Berkley residential blocks. The overlapping board pattern reads timeless and balanced from both yards, which suits the small-town aesthetic that defines the 48072 area. The cedar tones complement the painted-trim look common across Berkley homes, and the design works equally well on tight side-yard runs and longer rear-yard installations. Our wood fencing portfolio shows the range of board on board projects we have completed.
Board on board offers full privacy with no gaps, while shadow box gives partial privacy with airflow and a lighter visual feel. Board on board suits Berkley backyards where full sight-line blocking matters, especially in rear yards exposed to neighbor windows. Shadow box works better on smaller lots where solid 6-foot privacy would feel heavy and on side yards where some light passage through the fence is welcome. The choice depends on lot exposure and personal preference. Privacy fencing projects use both approaches.
We install wood fences year-round in Berkley, though winter installations come with specific considerations. Frozen ground requires a power auger and sometimes a frost-breaking technique, which adds time to post hole digging. Concrete cure time also lengthens in cold weather, so post-set timelines stretch slightly in January and February. Spring and fall remain the busiest seasons for our crew. Ferndale projects follow the same seasonal patterns.
We set wood fence posts in concrete footings, typically 30 to 40 inches deep depending on post location and frost line considerations. Corner posts and gate posts get deeper footings and larger concrete bases due to the additional leverage forces they handle. Line posts (the standard panel posts) follow Michigan freeze-thaw best practices for depth. Our crew never short-sets posts, even on tight schedules. Custom gate posts get extra reinforcement for heavy gate weights.
Eastside Fence backs every Berkley wood fence installation with a 2-year labor warranty. If a post shifts, a panel loosens, or gate hardware fails because of how we built it, we come back and fix it at no charge. The warranty covers our workmanship across the 48072 area and the rest of Berkley. Material warranties from the lumber and hardware suppliers add another layer of protection on the fence itself. Get in touch for full warranty details.
