The job: a stained dog-ear fence along a garden path
Tonia Arriola wanted a wood privacy fence for her Pearland property that would hold up to the weather and still look good — she and the Mustang team discussed design and finish options before building. The finished fence runs along a side-yard stepping-stone path, built in a dog-ear picket style with a top cap board and a stained finish.
The project’s own photos are the record of what was actually built: a continuous stained-wood run with a cap board, bordering the landscaped path next to the house.
On the wood species
The original version of this page described the fence only as “a premium wood variety” without naming one. Checking the photos on file for this job (owner-approved Drive archive has no additional photos matching this job’s name or city), the stained finish makes a species call unreliable from the images alone — so this page doesn’t guess. What’s documented is the build: dog-ear picket style, a top cap board, and a stained protective finish.
Dog-ear picket count estimator
Straight linear-footage arithmetic, not a materials order — confirm exact counts with your installer. Default picket width (5.5 in) is the common actual width of a nominal 1×6 fence picket; change it if yours differs.
Picket count = (fence length in inches) ÷ (picket width + gap), rounded up. Doesn’t add extra for posts, corners or a gate opening — an estimate only, confirm with your installer.
