Why Pressure-Treated Wood Remains Pasadena's Most Popular Fence Choice

For many Pasadena homeowners, a pressure-treated wood fence offers the ideal combination of privacy, appearance, and value. You get the natural beauty of real wood, full backyard screening, and a price point that remains more affordable than many alternative fencing materials.
 
The key is making sure the fence is built to handle Maryland’s climate. Anne Arundel County is rated “Severe” for weathering and “Moderate to Heavy” for termite activity. The frost line is at 30 inches, and the air-freezing index exceeds 1,500. Those conditions can shorten the lifespan of untreated lumber.
 
Pressure-treated southern yellow pine is designed for this environment. The copper-based preservative helps protect against fungal decay and termite damage, while the wood remains stable enough to handle seasonal freeze-thaw cycles.
 
Since 2000, All Around Fence has been installing wood fences throughout Pasadena and Anne Arundel County. Jim and Jeremy Verhoef personally measure every property and remain involved throughout the project. The same experienced crew handles the installation from layout to final walkthrough.

Popular Pressure-Treated Wood Fence Styles

We build a variety of pressure-treated wood fence styles to match different privacy needs, property layouts, and architectural preferences.

Pressure-treated board-on-board privacy fence installed along a residential street in Pasadena, MD.

Board-on-Board

Board-on-board fencing is designed with overlapping pickets that eliminate visible gaps. This style provides maximum privacy while maintaining an attractive appearance from both sides. It’s a popular choice for homeowners who want complete backyard screening and a more upscale wood fence design.

Stockade with Cap

A stockade fence with cap features tightly installed pickets topped with a horizontal cap rail for a finished appearance. The added cap enhances curb appeal while helping create clean, straight lines across the fence. This style combines traditional privacy with a more refined look.

Pressure-treated scalloped spaced picket fence running through a narrow side yard in Pasadena, MD.

Spaced Picket

Spaced picket fencing allows airflow and visibility while still defining property boundaries. The gaps between pickets create a lighter, more open appearance than a full privacy fence. This style works well for front yards, gardens, and homeowners who prefer a less enclosed feel.

Pressure-treated shadowbox fence with a decorative lattice top installed in Pasadena, MD.

Shadowbox

Shadowbox fencing uses alternating pickets on opposite sides of the rails, creating an attractive appearance from both directions. The design allows air to pass through while maintaining a semi-private barrier. It’s a popular option for neighbors who want an equally finished look on both sides.

Scalloped or Dog-Eared Styles

Scalloped and dog-eared fences add decorative detail to traditional wood fencing. Scalloped designs feature a curved top profile, while dog-eared pickets have angled corners for a softer appearance. These styles are commonly used in front yards and areas where curb appeal is a priority.

Built to Handle
Maryland Weather

Not all pressure-treated lumber performs the same. The quality of the treatment and the materials used throughout the fence play a major role in long-term performance.

It’s normal for newly installed pressure-treated wood to have a green tint from the copper preservative. The color naturally fades as the wood dries and weathers, typically within 3 to 6 months.

Anne Arundel County Permit Requirements for
Wood Fences

Most residential fences require a permit. We submit applications through the Land Use Navigator system and coordinate directly with the county.

HOA Approval Assistance

Where required, we prepare and submit HOA applications, including drawings and material specifications.

Built to Stay Straight, Strong, and Secure

A long-lasting fence starts below ground. We use bell-bottom footings to help resist soil movement, and we set posts 36 to 42 inches deep—well below the frost line—for added stability.

We use the proper amount of concrete to keep each post secure, while ring-shank fasteners help prevent loosening over time. Our stick-built construction method allows us to follow uneven terrain for a cleaner fit and stronger finished product.

We build our fences to withstand winds up to 115 mph, and we complete most residential fence installations within 2 to 5 days.

Keeping Your Fence Looking Its Best

With routine maintenance, your fence can continue to look great and perform well for years in Pasadena’s coastal environment.
  • Annual inspection: Check for movement or alignment changes after winter
  • Weathering: Natural color changes occur over time
  • Staining: Apply after 6–12 months using penetrating stains
  • Cleaning: Use low-pressure washing methods to avoid surface damage
