Roughly 220 LF of shadowbox style fence with 6' cedar boards and a gate on one side of the house. About how much per LF should I be expecting to pay?

Also could use a recommendation for a fence company to do the job in Madisonville.

Quick check on the net says for 140 ft. of fencing, using cedar in the shadowbox style runs between $1600-$1800 for materials.

That's no gate and no labor costs involved and 80 ft. shorter than your needs.

So figuring for the additional 80 ft., you're probably looking at $2500-$2700 in materials alone.

Have no clue what fencing contractors are charging now to install.

I just built a straight up 6’ cedar board 3 rail fence for $11 per ft. Shadow box will add to the cost but just as a reference that’s what I spent DIY. You splitting the cost with the neighbor?

Unless I wait a while, no. Servitude/green space behind me and no neighbors yet on sides
