An Edmonton homeowner wanted to improve both the functionality and appearance of their backyard with a new fence. The goal was to create a secure and private space while maintaining harmony with the existing landscaping and ensuring convenient access with a double gate.

Challenge

The project site presented several complexities:

• Mature trees with large root systems limited post placement options.
• The client required a wide double gate to allow for equipment and yard access without compromising the fence’s stability.
• The finished fence needed to blend seamlessly with the yard’s current landscaping, preserving its natural beauty.

Solution

Decks of Distinction developed a tailored fencing plan that balanced the need for durability, aesthetics, and tree preservation. Close collaboration with the client ensured all functional and design preferences were addressed.

Execution

The team carefully mapped out post locations, using manual techniques around root-sensitive areas to avoid harm to the trees. A reinforced frame was built for the double gate to ensure long-term alignment and smooth operation. High-quality treated wood was selected to ensure the fence would withstand Edmonton’s weather while providing a natural look that complements the yard.

Outcome

The finished fence enhanced the property with improved privacy and security while respecting the integrity of the existing landscape. The double gate provided easy, practical access to the yard. The client was thrilled with the transformation and the professional care taken throughout the project.
