Project Overview
A new cedar privacy fence with gates built to fit
This Matthews Beach home in Seattle had an old, faded red painted fence and gate around the backyard. We replaced it with a new natural cedar privacy fence that follows the slope of the yard in stepped panels and sits cleanly on top of the existing block retaining wall.
The work included removal of the old fence, new posts set along the property line and anchored at the retaining wall, tall cedar boards with a top cap and trim, decorative post caps, stepped panels to follow the grade, and three custom cedar gates: a double gate beside the house, a framed gate fitted around a large tree and a side gate at the top of the garden stairs, all with black hardware.
Completed in Matthews Beach, Seattle, WA, this project adds to Acosta Landstone's portfolio in King County. We provide fence installation and retaining walls across the Eastside, Snohomish, King and Pierce Counties.
