Wood Fence Cost in Brandon, MS
Most wood fence installations in the Brandon and Rankin County area run between $18 and $35 per linear foot installed, depending on the style, wood type, and height you choose. A typical 150 foot backyard runs somewhere between $2,700 and $5,250 once materials, labor, and gate hardware are included. The breakdown below covers what actually drives that range so you know what you are paying for before a crew shows up. If you are ready to move forward, our wood fence installation page walks through the process from the first call to the finished fence.
What Changes the Price of a Wood Fence
The biggest factor is wood species. Pressure treated pine costs less and holds up well in Mississippi humidity, while cedar costs more upfront but resists rot and insects longer without staining. Height matters too, since a 6 foot privacy fence uses more lumber per foot than a 4 foot picket fence. Terrain plays a role as well, because yards with slopes, tree roots, or an old fence that needs to come out add labor hours that flat, cleared yards do not need.
Average Price by Fence Style
A basic pressure treated privacy fence typically costs between $18 and $24 per linear foot in this area. Cedar privacy fencing runs closer to $28 to $38 per linear foot because the lumber itself costs more. Picket fences use less material and shorter posts, so they often land between $15 and $22 per linear foot. Shadowbox fencing alternates boards on both sides for a finished look from either yard, and it adds a few dollars per foot over a standard privacy design because it takes more boards and labor to build.
Costs Homeowners Often Forget to Budget For
Removing an old fence before installing a new one can add several hundred dollars depending on how much material has to be hauled away. Gates are priced separately from linear footage, and a single walk gate usually adds $150 to $300 while a double drive gate can run $400 or more. Some Rankin County subdivisions also require HOA approval or a permit before work begins, and that process can add a few days to your timeline even though it does not usually change the final price much.
