How Much Does Fence Installation Cost in Northwest Arkansas?

If you're planning a fence project in Rogers, Bentonville, Fayetteville, or anywhere in NWA, the first question on your mind is probably: how much is this going to cost?

The honest answer is — it depends. But we can give you real ballpark numbers based on what we see every day on job sites across Northwest Arkansas.

Here's a general breakdown by fence type:

• Cost per linear foot: $25–$45 installed
• Typical backyard (150 linear feet): $3,750–$6,750
• Factors: Cedar vs. treated pine, height (6 ft vs. 8 ft), gate count, terrain

Wood privacy fences are the most popular choice in NWA residential neighborhoods. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects, making it a smart long-term investment even at a slightly higher upfront cost.

• Cost per linear foot: $12–$22 installed
• Typical backyard (150 linear feet): $1,800–$3,300
• Factors: Gauge (thickness), height, vinyl coating vs. galvanized, gates

Chain link is the most budget-friendly option and extremely durable. It's a great choice for keeping pets in, securing a side yard, or fencing a larger rural property.

• Cost per linear foot: $3–$10 installed
• Typical pasture (500 linear feet): $1,500–$5,000
• Factors: Wire type (barbed, high-tensile, electric), post spacing, acreage

Farm fencing covers a lot of ground at a low cost per foot. The biggest variable is how much clearing and post-setting is required.

• Cost per linear foot: $20–$60+ installed
• Factors: Security requirements, height, ornamental steel vs. chain link, access gates

Commercial projects vary widely based on scope. We work with businesses, schools, and property managers across NWA to find the right balance of security and budget.

• Cost per linear foot: $35–$80+ installed
• Factors: Material, design complexity, custom fabrication

Custom fences are priced individually — every project is unique.

The single biggest cost driver. Measure your perimeter before calling for a quote — even a rough estimate helps.

NWA has a lot of hills, rocks, and tree roots. Rocky soil requires more labor for post-setting and can add 15–25% to your total cost.

Each gate adds $150–$600+ depending on size and style. Double drive gates for vehicle access cost more than walk-through gates.

If you have an existing fence that needs to come down, budget an additional $3–$8 per linear foot for removal and haul-away.

Most NWA cities require a permit for new fence installation. Rogers, Bentonville, and Fayetteville each have their own rules on setbacks and height limits. We handle the permit research for you.

Lumber and steel prices fluctuate. The estimates above reflect current 2026 pricing — get a quote locked in sooner rather than later if you're planning a project.

The only way to get a truly accurate number is an on-site visit. Every property is different — lot shape, soil type, existing structures, and your specific goals all affect the final price.

Yes — always get at least two or three quotes for any fence project. When comparing, make sure you're comparing apples to apples: same material, same post depth, same gate count.

The cheapest quote isn't always the best value. Ask about post depth (we set ours at least 1/3 of the post length underground), material grade, and warranty.
