Fence Company in Spruce Grove | Atlantic Fence Since 1980
/Choosing a fence company in Spruce Grove is not just about price. Alberta’s freeze-thaw winters, heavy snow and shifting ground are hard on fences, and a fence that is built badly can lean, sag or fail within a few seasons.
Atlantic Fence has been building, repairing and installing chain link fences in the Edmonton region since 1980. This guide explains what to look for in a fence company, what affects the cost of your project, and how a good installation is done, so you can ask the right questions before you hire.
What a Good Fence Company in Spruce Grove Should Offer
Before you compare quotes, check that the company can handle the whole job, not just the install.
Experience with Alberta winters. Posts must be set below the frost line with footings that frozen soil cannot grab.
Full service. Fence installation, repair, gates and welding from one crew means fewer delays and no finger-pointing between trades.
A safety program you can verify. On commercial and industrial sites, ask for proof of safety certification.
Clear written quotes. A good quote lists materials, post sizes, finish, gates and hardware.
Insurance and WCB clearance. Ask for proof before work starts.
Our guide on what to look for in a fencing company has the full checklist.
Why Chain Link Works Well in Spruce Grove
Chain link is the most practical fence for Alberta properties, and it is what we build best.
Steel posts don’t rot. Wood posts absorb moisture and loosen at ground level over time.
Galvanized and powder-coated finishes resist rust. Powder-coated chain link is available in black, brown and green for a cleaner look.
The mesh flexes. Small ground movements don’t crack it the way they split rigid panels.
Repairs are simple. A damaged section or post can be fixed without rebuilding the whole fence.
Privacy is possible. Privacy slats can be added if you want a more private yard.
Fences for Every Type of Property
Homes and acreages. Backyard fences, driveway gates and perimeter fencing for larger lots. See our residential fencing.
Businesses. Lots, storage areas, schools and public-facing properties need fencing that is secure, tidy and installed without disrupting operations. See our commercial fencing.
Industrial sites. Yards, equipment storage and work sites need heavier posts, taller fences and often higher security. See our industrial fencing and high security fencing.
Gates and Automatic Operators
A gate is often the first thing to fail, so it deserves as much planning as the fence. We are an authorized LiftMaster dealer and install swing gates, slide gates and barrier arms with operators matched to the gate’s weight, traffic and winter conditions.
If you are planning an automatic gate, read our guide on choosing a LiftMaster gate operator. For existing gates that drag or sag, our mobile welding service can repair them on site.
What Affects the Cost of a Fence Project
There is no flat price, because every property is different. The main factors are:
Length of the fence line
Height and fabric gauge
Finish: galvanized or powder-coated
Post sizes and footing depth, especially for corner, end and gate posts
Number and size of gates, and whether they are automated
Site access, slope and soil
Removal of an old fence
Timing and ground conditions
The most accurate number comes from a site visit. Request a free quote and we will price the job from what we see on site.
How a Professional Fence Installation Works
Free on-site estimate. We measure the fence line, check access and soil, and discuss gates and finish.
Written quote. You get a clear scope with materials listed.
Utility locates. Underground lines are located before any digging. In Alberta, locate requests go through Utility Safety Partners.
Post installation. Posts are set below the frost line in properly shaped footings with good drainage.
Rails, fabric and gates. The fence is built and the fabric is tensioned tight.
Final walkthrough. We check tension, alignment and gate operation with you before we leave.
When to Repair Instead of Replace
If only part of your fence is damaged, repair is often the better value. Leaning posts, torn fabric, sagging gates and storm or vehicle damage can usually be fixed. If the fence is old, heavily rusted or has many failing posts, replacement is the better long-term choice. Our fence repair team can tell you which makes sense after one visit.
