Greenwood shares the county seat with Fort Smith and sits about 12 miles south of it where U.S. 71 meets Highway 10. The former coal town counted 9,516 residents in 2020, after nearly doubling between 1990 and 2000, so plenty of backyards here are getting their first fence.
Backyard Privacy Fences for Greenwood's Newer Homes
With so many homes built in the last few decades, the most common Greenwood request is a six-foot wood privacy fence around the backyard. Pressure-treated pine keeps the cost down, while cedar costs more and weathers to a soft gray. Vinyl privacy panels skip the staining altogether.
If you live in a subdivision, read your HOA covenants first. Many spell out height, color and which side of the fence faces out.
Building a Greenwood Fence With Storm Season in Mind
Greenwood knows storms. An F4 tornado on April 19, 1968 destroyed most of the town, and the clock and bell from the lost courthouse now sit in the Town Square tower. No fence stops a tornado, but everyday spring wind is a different story. Good footings, solid rails and well-hung gates keep a fence straight through years of gusty weather.

Common questions
How much does a privacy fence cost in Greenwood AR?
The price depends on the length of the fence, the material, the height, the number of gates and how hard the ground is to dig. Removing an old fence adds cost too. Request a free estimate with your rough measurements and the contractor can give you a written number for your yard instead of a guess.
Is cedar or pine better for a fence in Greenwood?
Pressure-treated pine costs less and resists rot well when it is sealed and kept off the ground. Cedar costs more but resists insects naturally, moves less as it dries and weathers to an even gray. Both need occasional cleaning and stain if you want them to keep their color. Many homeowners pick pine pickets on treated posts.
Does my Greenwood HOA have to approve my fence?
If your home is in a neighborhood with covenants, there is a good chance the HOA wants to see your plans first. Rules commonly cover height, material and color. Get any approval in writing before the contractor orders materials, and check with the City of Greenwood about permits as well.
How soon can I get a dog fence put up in Greenwood?
A simple backyard dog fence is often one of the faster jobs, since it is usually chain link or wood around a single yard. Timing depends on the contractor's schedule, materials and weather. Mention your dog's habits, like digging or jumping, when you request a free estimate so the quote covers the right height and bottom treatment.
