Louisville's Wood Fence Experts
Ruth Fence and Deck has been installing beautiful, durable wood fences across Louisville and Southern Indiana for over 15 years. Whether you want a classic privacy fence, a charming picket fence, or a modern horizontal design, we build it right the first time — on time and on budget.
Wood fencing remains the most popular choice for Louisville homeowners because of its natural beauty, affordability, and versatility. No two wood fences are exactly alike, and we love working with customers to design something that fits their yard, their style, and their budget.
Types of Wood Fences We Install
Wood Privacy Fences
Our most popular style. A 6ft wood privacy fence keeps your backyard private, reduces noise, and adds real value to your home. We use pressure-treated lumber built to handle Kentucky's hot summers and cold winters.
Horizontal Wood Fences
Modern horizontal fences are one of the fastest-growing styles in Louisville right now. Clean lines, contemporary look, and they photograph beautifully. Perfect for newer homes and design-forward yards.
Wood Picket Fences
A classic Louisville look. Cedar picket fences are great for front yards, defining property lines, and keeping kids and pets safely in the yard without blocking your view.
Custom Wood Fences
Lattice tops, copper post caps, decorative gates, mixed styles — if you can picture it, we can build it. We love custom work and take pride in craftsmanship that stands out.

We install wood fences throughout Louisville, Jeffersontown, St. Matthews, Middletown, Fern Creek, Shively, Okolona, Pleasure Ridge Park, Oldham County, Bullitt County, Shelby County, New Albany IN, Jeffersonville IN, Clarksville IN, and Sellersburg IN.
