Custom Fence Builders in Ballard, Seattle
Outdoor Oasis is Seattle's trusted custom fence builder, delivering handcrafted fencing solutions for homeowners across Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, Green Lake, and the greater Seattle area. Whether you're looking to add privacy to your backyard, define your property line, secure your yard for children and pets, or simply elevate the visual character of your home's exterior, we design and build custom fences that are purpose-built for your property and the demands of the Pacific Northwest climate.
Every fence we build is designed from scratch — no off-the-shelf panels, no cookie-cutter templates. Our approach combines precision construction with an artistic eye, resulting in fences that feel like a natural, intentional extension of your home and landscape.
What a Custom Fence Can Do for Your Property
A fence is one of the most versatile and impactful improvements you can make to your outdoor space. Here's how Seattle homeowners use custom fencing from Outdoor Oasis:
Privacy & Seclusion
In Seattle's dense neighborhoods, privacy is priceless. A full-height privacy fence — crafted from cedar, composite, or louvered panels — creates a secluded backyard retreat where you can relax, entertain, and unwind without the feeling of being overlooked. Our privacy fence designs range from clean, modern vertical slat panels to warm, traditionally styled cedar boards, all built to the exact height and configuration your yard requires.
Security for Children & Pets
A well-built fence gives families peace of mind. Whether you're containing a curious dog, keeping young children safely in the yard, or discouraging unauthorized access to your property, a custom fence from Outdoor Oasis is engineered to be structurally sound, gap-free, and equipped with secure, latching gates. We take into account your specific needs — including gate placement, post depth, and material selection — to build a fence that works as hard as it looks good.
Property Definition & Boundary Clarity
A custom fence provides a clear, professional delineation of your property line, reducing potential disputes with neighbors and giving your landscape a finished, intentional structure. It also helps anchor other landscape elements — planting beds, hardscape features, and outdoor living areas — by creating a defined framework for your entire yard.
Noise Reduction
Seattle's busy streets and tight urban lots mean noise can be a real quality-of-life issue. A solid, well-constructed wood or composite privacy fence helps dampen ambient street noise, creating a quieter, more comfortable outdoor environment — and a more peaceful interior when windows are open.
Aesthetic Enhancement & Curb Appeal
A thoughtfully designed fence is one of the first things visitors and passersby notice about your home. From the street, a beautiful custom fence communicates care, quality, and character. It ties together your home's architecture with the surrounding landscape, adding visual cohesion and boosting curb appeal in a way that pre-built fencing simply cannot match.
Increased Property Value
A custom fence is a long-term investment that adds measurable value to your home. Quality materials, expert installation, and a design that complements your home's style all contribute to stronger resale appeal — making a custom fence one of the highest-return exterior improvements available to Seattle homeowners.
Garden Structure & Wind Protection
Seattle's varied microclimates can make exposed yards difficult for gardening and outdoor entertaining. A solid fence acts as a windbreak, protecting delicate plantings and creating a more comfortable outdoor environment for dining and gathering. Combined with our custom planters, built-in seating, and landscape design services, your fence can become an integral part of a fully designed outdoor living space.
Our Custom Fence Materials & Styles
We work with a curated selection of premium fencing materials, each chosen for its beauty, longevity, and suitability for Seattle's wet winters and dry summers:
Cedar — Seattle's classic choice. Naturally rot-resistant, beautiful grain, warm tonal variation. Ideal for privacy fences, decorative panels, and gates.
Exotic Hardwood — For homeowners who want something truly one-of-a-kind, we source and build with premium exotic hardwoods — including Ipe, Teak, Cumaru, and Garapa — known for their extraordinary density, natural oil content, and resistance to rot, insects, and moisture. Exotic hardwoods bring unmatched depth of color and grain character to custom fencing, aging gracefully over time into rich, distinctive tones. Each species carries its own performance profile, and we'll help you select the right hardwood for your aesthetic goals, climate exposure, and long-term maintenance preferences.
Kebony — A sustainably modified softwood transformed through a bio-based process that dramatically increases its hardness, durability, and dimensional stability. Kebony develops a stunning silver-grey patina over time and requires virtually no maintenance — a premium choice for homeowners who want a high-performance, eco-conscious fence with a refined, natural aesthetic.
Dasso XTR Fused Bamboo — An exceptionally dense, high-strength bamboo product that outperforms most hardwoods in hardness and moisture resistance. Dasso XTR's tight grain and rich tonal depth give it a distinctive, architectural look that stands apart from conventional wood fencing. Ideal for modern and contemporary designs where visual impact and longevity are equally important.
Steel — Powder-coated or raw steel panels and frames bring an industrial-modern edge to custom fencing. Steel is ideal for decorative inserts, driveway gates, and accent panels — offering unmatched structural rigidity and a bold, distinctive visual character. Can be combined with wood or bamboo for mixed-material designs that are both strong and striking.
Thermally Modified Wood — Wood that has been heat-treated at high temperatures to permanently alter its cellular structure, dramatically improving rot resistance, dimensional stability, and moisture performance — without any chemical treatments. The result is a darker, richer tone and a fence material that holds up exceptionally well in Seattle's wet climate with minimal maintenance required.
Accoya Wood — One of the highest-performing modified wood products available, Accoya is acetylated radiata pine with a documented 50-year above-ground durability guarantee. It resists rot, swelling, and warping better than virtually any natural or treated wood, making it an outstanding long-term investment for Seattle homeowners who want the warmth of wood with the durability of a synthetic. Accoya accepts stains and finishes beautifully and is fully FSC-certified.
All our fences are designed to integrate seamlessly with gates, arbors, pergolas, and landscape elements — creating a cohesive, finished outdoor environment rather than a simple boundary line.

Reviews
We proudly maintain our reputation as craftsman and artists and our perfect, 5-star Google reviews illustrate this.
“We were delighted with the outcomes of Soren's work and thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with him. He meticulously designed and executed a remodel for our townhouse backyard, incorporating a new fence, deck, paved path, planters, outdoor furniture, and lighting. Soren consistently presented innovative and tasteful ideas and was receptive to feedback, allowing us to adapt them to our preferences. He coordinated the entire execution, including subcontractors, and undertook a significant portion of the work himself, including the stunning benches. All along he had a rigurous attention to detail. Perhaps most importantly, he remained open to learning about new products and techniques. The result was a top-quality project that has absolutely elevated our living space and received compliments from everyone, including friends, neighbors, and even other contractors who worked on it. It's rare to find someone so passionate about their craft, and we highly recommend Soren for any project.”
Matias“Soren Jensen was our contractor to build an external cedar fence with gate on top of a new concrete retaining wall. He was patient and gave us many options to approach building the fence. His costs were reasonable and executed the project flawlessly. Really appreciated his attention to detail and diligence in getting the project done on time and on budget. Would hire him again for another home project.”
