Jarrod handled the situation beautifully and readily made adjustments on the fly. It was over and above service. I'm grateful.

They heard what we needed, helped us plan, and efficiently set up & took down our perimeter fence working on our tight schedule. I highly recommend them and will be using them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used them for fencing to create throwing cages for our adaptive sports track meet.  They were easy to work with and the crew that delivered and picked them up were right on time!  They offered to set them up, but it was a unique use, so we did it.

Every project starts with a free on-site visit to assess grade and soil conditions before installation begins.

Fencing materials for Ada homes and businesses

Each material performs differently through a West Michigan winter. The right choice depends on your property, goals, and long-term maintenance preferences.

Wood fence

Cedar is the most common wood privacy fence in the Ada area. We build on-site from western red cedar or treated lumber, not prefabricated panels. Cedar performs well through freeze-thaw cycles when properly installed and maintained.

Vinyl fence

Vinyl is fully maintenance-free and does not rot, warp, or rust through Michigan winters.

Aluminum fence

Aluminum is rust-proof and requires no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. A standard choice throughout Kent County.

Chain link fence

Chain link is the most cost-effective option for large perimeters, dog runs, and commercial applications.

Gate and access control

We install swing, slide, and automated gates for residential driveways and commercial facilities throughout Kent County.

What Ada’s climate means for your fence

Kent County soils in the Ada area include sandy loam and loam over glacial deposits, with some heavier clay-loam near the Thornapple River valley. Wooded lots tend to have root systems that require careful post placement. Freeze-thaw cycles through West Michigan winters create seasonal soil movement that affects post depth and concrete anchoring. We assess site conditions on every visit before installation begins.

Ada’s location along the Thornapple River means some properties have floodplain or high-moisture soils on lower portions of the lot. Vinyl and aluminum are the most practical long-term options in those areas. Cedar performs well when properly installed and maintained on drained, upland portions of the property.

Fence permits and zoning in Ada

Ada Township handles fence-related zoning through its Planning and Zoning Department. Contact the township before starting your fence project.

Ada Township manages fence-related permits through its Planning and Zoning Department. Contact the township before starting your project at adamichigan.org for current requirements.

Do I need HOA approval for a fence in Ada?

Many Ada neighborhoods have HOA rules that govern fence materials, heights, colors, and placement that may be stricter than the township’s zoning ordinance. Review your HOA documents and obtain written approval before installation. We discuss HOA requirements during the site visit.

What fence materials hold up best in Ada’s climate?
