How Much Does a Fence Cost in Salt Lake City in 2026?

What Does a Fence Cost in Salt Lake City?

One of the first questions homeowners ask when considering a new fence is: how much is this going to cost me? The honest answer is that it depends on several factors — material, length, height, and terrain. But we can give you real ballpark numbers based on what we see every day installing fences across Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, and surrounding areas.

Average Fence Costs by Material (2026)

Here's a general breakdown of installed fence costs per linear foot in northern Utah:

• Cedar Wood Fence: $25–$45 per linear foot installed
• Trex Composite Fence: $35–$60 per linear foot installed

For a typical backyard with 150 linear feet of fencing, you're looking at roughly $3,750–$6,750 for cedar or $5,250–$9,000 for Trex composite.

What Affects the Price?

• Fence height: Standard is 6 feet. Going taller adds cost.
• Terrain: Sloped yards in areas like Draper, Herriman, or the east bench require more labor.
• Gates: Each gate adds $200–$600 depending on size and style.
• Removal of old fence: Demo and haul-away typically adds $1–$3 per linear foot.
• HOA requirements: Some communities require specific styles or heights that affect material costs.

Is Composite Worth the Extra Cost?

Trex composite fencing costs more upfront than cedar, but many homeowners find it pays off over time. Cedar requires staining or sealing every 2–3 years to maintain its appearance and prevent rot. Composite requires virtually no maintenance and comes with a 25-year warranty. Over a 10-year period, the total cost of ownership is often similar — and composite looks better at year 10 than cedar does at year 3.
