Choosing the Right Fence Material for Your Lincoln Property
A new fence is one of the best investments you can make for your property — it adds privacy, security, curb appeal, and real value to your home. But with so many material options available, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Here’s a practical comparison of the three most popular fence materials we install at Gonzalez Transformations.
Wood Fencing: Classic, Versatile, and Affordable
Wood remains the most popular fencing choice in Lincoln, NE — and for good reason. It offers a natural, warm appearance that complements nearly any home style. We install treated pine, cedar, and custom wood fences in styles including privacy, shadowbox, stockade, and picket.
Best for: Backyard privacy, traditional aesthetics, and budget-conscious homeowners.
Lifespan: 15–20 years with proper maintenance (staining or sealing every 2–3 years).
Considerations: Requires periodic maintenance to prevent rot, warping, and insect damage.
Vinyl Fencing: Low Maintenance and Long Lasting
Vinyl fencing has surged in popularity for homeowners who want a clean, modern look without the upkeep of wood. We offer vinyl styles including Hampton, Conway, Chester, Keswick, Carlisle, and Lennox — ranging from full privacy panels to lattice-top designs.
Best for: Homeowners who want minimal maintenance and a consistent appearance year after year.
Lifespan: 20–30+ years with virtually no maintenance required.
Considerations: Higher upfront cost than wood, but lower total cost of ownership over time.
Aluminum Fencing: Elegant and Durable
Aluminum ornamental fencing is the go-to choice for front yards, pool enclosures, and decorative property boundaries. We offer styles like Providence, New Haven, Hudson, Concord, and Easton — sleek designs that won’t rust, rot, or require painting.
Best for: Front yards, pool areas, and homeowners who want an upscale, open look.
Lifespan: 20–30+ years with minimal maintenance.
Considerations: Does not provide full privacy (open picket design). Best for decorative and boundary purposes.
Not Sure Which One Is Right for You?
Every property is different, and the best fence for your neighbor may not be the best fence for you.
