Serving Shreveport homeowners
Vickers Fence builds wood privacy fences that give your backyard a clearer boundary, a more comfortable feel, and gates that work with the way you move through the property.
Call about a privacy fence
A backyard that feels like yours
Sometimes the goal is to make a patio feel less exposed. Sometimes it is to create a comfortable backyard for family time, contain a dog, soften the view toward a neighboring home, or give a side yard a cleaner edge. A privacy fence works best when it is planned around that specific job instead of treated as a line of boards.
Vickers Fence works with Shreveport homeowners on wood privacy fencing that fits the property. The first conversation can cover what you want to screen, where people and equipment need to pass through, which parts of the yard should stay open, and whether the existing fence is still worth repairing.
That makes the choices easier to weigh together: the fence line, height, corners, gates, posts, and the conditions along the yard. The finished fence should give you more ease outside, not create awkward access or a boundary that feels disconnected from the home.
Plan around the real yard
A privacy fence becomes part of the backdrop for everyday life. A careful plan helps it work naturally with the spaces and routines that matter most.
Privacy may be most important behind the house, around a patio, beside a pool, or along one shared property line. Identifying those spots first helps shape a fence that solves the real problem without treating every edge of the lot the same way.
Walk gates, mower access, driveway openings, trash pickup, pets, and the path between the house and the garage all deserve a place in the plan. A gate is one of the most used parts of a privacy fence, so its location and clearance matter from day one.
Slopes, drainage, trees, outbuildings, and changes in grade can affect a long wood fence. Looking closely at corners, transitions, and the route of the line before work begins gives the finished fence a cleaner, more settled result.
Built as one system
A finished wood fence has to work as a complete structure. The posts, rails, pickets, corners, and gates each have a job, and they need to work together across the whole run. That is especially important on a long backyard line, where one weak area can affect the look and use of the rest.
Wood fencing gives homeowners a familiar, solid look and the flexibility to create more separation around the spaces that matter. It can define a backyard, frame a patio, create a clear pet boundary, and give a property line a more finished presence.
The surrounding details still matter. A fence that meets the driveway cleanly, follows a slope with care, and includes a useful gate feels easier to live with. Vickers Fence plans those parts together rather than leaving them as afterthoughts.
Explore wood fencing →A practical process
Talk through what you want to change around the yard, whether that is a more private patio, a dog boundary, a finished property line, or a fence that no longer feels dependable.
Consider where the fence belongs, how the ground changes, where gates will get daily use, and what parts of the yard need to stay accessible.
The result should create the separation you want while fitting naturally with the house, driveway, landscape, and ordinary routines that happen around it.
Why homeowners call Vickers
Vickers Fence has served homeowners since 1999 with licensed and insured residential fence work backed by a guarantee. That experience matters in the pieces that need to hold up together: a straight long run, sturdy corners, a gate that opens cleanly, and posts that support the fence instead of becoming the first place trouble appears.
The conversation stays focused on the property because no two backyards have the same needs. Some homeowners know exactly where they want a privacy fence. Others know only that their yard feels too open, their gate is failing, or the old fence has begun to lean. Either is a useful place to start.
“Vickers Fence installed and stained a privacy fence for me and did an exceptional job. I'm very happy with the results. I highly recommend them.”
Repair or replace
A targeted repair can be the sensible choice when the problem is limited to a few damaged boards, a failed post, a loose rail, or a gate and the rest of the privacy fence remains solid. Restoring that area can give the fence useful life without rebuilding every edge of the yard.
When leaning sections, weak posts, rot, or gate problems appear in several places, the fence may be telling a bigger story. Replacing one area at a time can become frustrating when the next weak section is already waiting. Looking at the full line helps homeowners make a more confident long-term decision.

Call Vickers FenceFrequently asked questions
For many Shreveport backyards, a wood privacy fence is a natural choice because it creates a solid boundary while still allowing the height, layout, and gate locations to be planned around the property. The best fit depends on which parts of the yard need separation and how the space is used.
Yes. A walk gate, wider equipment opening, or driveway gate can be planned into a privacy fence from the beginning. Thinking about where people, pets, vehicles, and lawn equipment move through the property helps make the gate useful every day.
Start with the parts of the yard that need more separation or a clearer boundary, such as a patio, pool area, side yard, or neighboring property line. Corners, trees, drainage, slopes, and existing structures also matter when planning the finished line.
Yes. A repair may be enough when damage is limited to a few posts, rails, boards, or a gate and the rest of the fence is still sound. When weak areas keep appearing across the yard, a new privacy fence may be the more dependable long-term answer.
