Built for wet ground and freeze-thaw
Fence posts fail here for one reason more than any other: not enough depth, or a footing that traps water against the wood or steel instead of draining away from it. We set posts below frost depth with proper drainage rock, so the fence doesn't start leaning or heaving after its first wet winter.
Cedar gives a classic look and can be stained or left to weather naturally; metal panels and posts (like corrugated metal with cedar trim) trade some of that warmth for lower long-term maintenance and a more modern line. Most jobs mix materials — cedar posts and trim with a metal infill, for example — to balance cost, upkeep, and look.
What's involved
Property line confirmation, post layout, footings dug below frost depth, framing and panel or picket installation, and gate hardware sized to actually hold up under daily use. Fence height and setback are governed by Maple Ridge's bylaws — we check this against your property during the consultation, before anything is quoted.
Common Questions — Maple Ridge
How tall can I build a fence in Maple Ridge without a permit?+
It depends on where the fence sits on your property — front yard, side yard, and rear yard all have different height limits under Maple Ridge's bylaws. We confirm the exact limit for your lot during the free consultation, so there are no surprises once work starts.
Who pays for a fence between two properties?+
This comes down to where the fence sits relative to the property line and whether both neighbours agree to split it — it's not something we can answer in general. We're happy to talk through the options, but a property survey or a conversation with your neighbour is the right starting point.
Cedar or metal — which holds up better here?+
Both hold up fine when built correctly. Cedar needs periodic staining or sealing to keep its look through the wet season; metal panels need little upkeep but can show wear differently over time. We'll walk through the trade-off for your specific yard and budget.
How much does a new fence cost in Maple Ridge?+
It depends on length, material, gate count, and site access — a straight cedar fence and a mixed-material fence with a driveway gate aren't the same job. The most accurate number comes from a free on-site estimate.
