Brooks Creek is a family-owned and operated company specializing in custom cedar fencing, decks, pergolas, arbors, and trellises. In addition, we also install high-quality aluminum and vinyl fencing along with composite and vinyl decking. For the builders and customers who want to "do-it-yourself" we offer custom beams, timbers, and reclaimed lumber. Our primary service region covers Central Illinois. We are a third generation fencing company with our roots tracing back to the early 1940's. Brooks Creek strives to offer the finest products at affordable prices.

"We have used Brook's Creek on two different fencing jobs. The first was an aluminum fence for our dog 40' x 100' in the back. The second was a cedar fence down the property line. The crew chief was the same on both jobs and he, as well as the workers, were very professional as well as working fast and continuously. They cleaned up after the job and helped with the dirt removed from the post holes. I highly recommend this company! I have recommended this company to 3 of the neighbors in our addition and all there have purchased fencing from them."

FAQs for projects in Decatur, IL

A shadowbox fence arranges boards on alternating sides of the rails with small gaps between them, creating an identical appearance from both sides while allowing some airflow between the boards. Standard privacy fences place all boards on one side with no gaps, creating a solid barrier. The shadowbox design requires more lumber to achieve the alternating pattern, but provides the benefit of an attractive appearance for both the homeowner and neighbors.

Installation timelines depend on the length of your fence, site conditions, and weather factors. Professional fence contractors can complete standard residential projects efficiently, while DIY installations require more time, especially if you're learning the techniques or working alone. Factors like rocky soil, slope challenges, or the need for multiple gates can extend the timeline for any installation project.

Maintenance requirements vary by material choice. Pressure-treated lumber requires the most attention, needing to be stained or sealed every two to three years. Cedar and redwood need treatment every three to five years. Composite and vinyl options require minimal maintenance, with only occasional cleaning needed. All fence types benefit from periodic inspections to address any developing issues before they worsen.

Shadowbox fences perform well in windy conditions because their design allows some air to pass through the spaces between boards, reducing the overall wind pressure on the structure. This partial airflow makes them less susceptible to wind damage than solid privacy fences. For maximum stability in particularly windy locations, ensure posts are properly set according to recommended depths based on your fence height.
