Why Choose Able Boys Landscaping for Your Fencing Needs

Secure & Beautiful Fencing Built for the West Coast Climate

A great fence provides privacy, security, and a beautiful frame for your landscaping. However, in the Pacific Northwest, a fence also needs to be built to survive heavy rain, strong winter winds, and damp soil conditions.

At Able Boys Landscaping, we don’t just build fences; we engineer them for longevity. Whether you need a classic wooden privacy fence in Burnaby, a modern metal enclosure in Vancouver, or a low-maintenance upgrade anywhere in the Lower Mainland, we deliver precision craftsmanship. We focus on:

  • Deep, Secure Footings: Setting posts deep in high-quality concrete to prevent leaning and frost heave.
  • Rot-Resistant Materials: Sourcing premium materials that stand up to BC’s coastal moisture.
  • Custom Designs: Tailoring the height, style, and finish to match your home’s architecture.

Every project comes backed by over 30 years of experience, ensuring your property is safe, secure, and beautiful.

Premium Fencing Materials We Install

Cedar Fencing

The classic choice for the Pacific Northwest. Cedar is naturally rich in oils that resist rot, decay, and insect damage making it perfect for Vancouver’s wet weather. It offers a warm, natural beauty and can be stained, painted, or left to weather to a beautiful silver-grey.

Composite Fencing

The ultimate premium, low-maintenance option. Made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and durable plastics, composite fencing gives you the luxurious look of wood with zero risk of rotting, warping, or splintering. It never needs to be painted or stained and holds up perfectly to endless BC rain.

Metal Fencing (Aluminum & Steel)

Ideal for maximum security, pool enclosures, and modern landscape designs. Our metal fencing options are treated with specialized powder coatings to prevent rust and corrosion. Metal provides a sleek, open feel that secures your yard without blocking your view.

Vinyl Fencing

Clean, modern, and practically maintenance-free. Vinyl (PVC) fences are highly durable, completely immune to moisture and pests, and easily wash clean with a garden hose. It is an excellent choice for crisp white privacy fences that stay looking brand new year after year.

Step 1: Property Evaluation & Design

We assess your yard, discuss your privacy/security needs, and help you select the best material. We also review grade changes and property lines to ensure a seamless build.

Step 2: Post Hole Digging & Setting

The secret to a fence that never leans is the foundation. We dig deep post holes and set heavy-duty posts in concrete, ensuring they are perfectly plumb and level, even on sloped Vancouver properties.

Step 3: Framework & Panel Installation

Once the posts are securely cured, we build the rails and attach your chosen fencing material (cedar pickets, composite boards, vinyl panels, or metal) with precision alignment and heavy-duty, rust-proof fasteners.

Step 4: Cleanup & Final Inspection

We clear away all dirt and debris from the excavation, hang and adjust your gates for smooth operation, and walk through the final project with you to ensure absolute satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fencing in Greater Vancouver

For absolutely zero rot and minimal maintenance, Composite and Vinyl are the top performers in wet climates. If you prefer natural wood, Cedar is the most reliable wood option in BC, as it contains natural tannins that resist moisture decay.

In most Lower Mainland municipalities, you do not need a building permit for a fence as long as it adheres to height restrictions. Typically, fences can be up to 4 feet high in the front yard and up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) high in the backyard. We always recommend checking your specific city bylaws, and we build to comply with all local codes.

To prevent a fence from blowing over in strong winter windstorms or shifting due to soil changes, posts in the Lower Mainland should generally be buried at least 2 to 3 feet deep and anchored in concrete.

Absolutely. Many properties in Burnaby and the North Shore have significant elevation changes. We specialize in both “stepped” fencing (where the top of the fence looks like stairs) and “racked” fencing (where the fence follows the angle of the ground). During your consultation, we’ll determine which method provides the best look and most security for your specific slope.

Yes! A fence is only as good as its gate. We build and install custom-matched single-swing, double-swing, and sliding gates equipped with heavy-duty hinges and secure latches to ensure they won’t sag over time.
