Fence Company — River Valley, Arkansas

ACE Fence Company has been the River Valley's trusted fence contractor since 1963. Fort Smith, Van Buren, Greenwood, Alma, Barling, Lavaca, and Eastern Oklahoma — residential, commercial, and industrial fencing built to last.

The River Valley's Fence Company Since 1963

The Arkansas River Valley is a distinctive region — a wide, fertile river corridor flanked by the Ouachita Mountains to the south and the Arkansas River Ozark foothills to the north, centered on Fort Smith, one of the oldest cities west of the Mississippi. The River Valley has its own economy, its own character, and its own fencing needs that differ meaningfully from the rest of Arkansas.

ACE Fence Company was founded in Fort Smith in 1963 and has operated in the River Valley for over six decades. We know this region's clay soils, its storm patterns, its permitting authorities, and its mix of residential neighborhoods, agricultural land, industrial facilities, and commercial corridors. When River Valley homeowners and businesses need a fence, they call ACE Fence — not because we're the biggest company, but because we've been here the longest and we stand behind every post we set.

River Valley Residential Fencing

From the historic neighborhoods near downtown Fort Smith to the newer subdivisions expanding toward Greenwood and Alma, River Valley residential fencing spans the full spectrum of materials and styles. ACE Fence installs:

  • Cedar wood privacy fencing — The most popular choice for River Valley backyards. Traditional vertical board-on-board and contemporary horizontal styles. 6-foot and 8-foot heights. Cedar's natural oils resist the moisture and humidity of the River Valley's climate better than treated pine.
  • Premium vinyl fencing — Zero-maintenance privacy, picket, and ranch rail fencing that holds its color and shape through River Valley summers and ice storms. UV-inhibited and backed by manufacturer warranty. Never needs painting or staining.
  • Ornamental iron and aluminum — Decorative open-picket fencing for front yards, estate properties, and pool enclosures. Powder-coated aluminum delivers a rust-free, low-maintenance alternative to traditional iron.
  • Chain link fencing — The River Valley's go-to for economical dog containment, utility fencing, and residential perimeters. Available in galvanized and vinyl-coated. 4-foot through 8-foot heights.

River Valley Commercial & Industrial Fencing

Fort Smith is the commercial and industrial hub of the River Valley — home to major distribution facilities along the I-40 and I-540 corridors, manufacturing operations, healthcare campuses, schools, and government facilities. ACE Fence serves the full commercial spectrum:

  • Industrial perimeter fencing — Heavy-gauge commercial chain link (6- and 9-gauge), taller heights (8–10 feet), barbed wire and razor ribbon toppers for manufacturing and distribution facilities. We are the River Valley's go-to industrial fence contractor.
  • Security fencing — Anti-climb mesh, reinforced post footings, tamper-resistant hardware, and integrated access control for high-security applications.
  • Access control and automated gates — Bobby, our senior gate technician, designs and installs complete access control systems — keypad, RFID, cellular, and video-integrated — for River Valley commercial and industrial facilities.
  • Commercial ornamental fencing — Institutional and campus fencing for schools, hospitals, and office parks. Ornamental aluminum provides security and appearance without the visual heaviness of chain link.
  • Temporary construction fencing — Job site perimeter fencing throughout the River Valley's active development areas. Fast deployment, professional appearance, and removal on completion.

Agricultural Fencing in the River Valley

The River Valley's rich bottomland along the Arkansas River supports cattle operations, poultry production, row crops, and timber — all requiring perimeter fencing appropriate to the livestock and land use. ACE Fence installs agricultural fencing throughout Sebastian, Crawford, and surrounding counties:

  • High-tensile woven wire for cattle and large livestock perimeters
  • Barbed wire multi-strand perimeter fencing
  • Non-climb horse fencing with pressure-treated wood or steel posts
  • Farm road access gates — manual and solar-powered automatic options
  • Deer and predator exclusion fencing for sensitive crops

River Valley Fence Repair & Storm Response

The River Valley sits in the path of Arkansas's most severe spring and summer storm systems. Derecho events, severe thunderstorm straight-line winds, and occasional tornado activity cause significant fence damage across Fort Smith, Van Buren, Greenwood, and surrounding communities every year. ACE Fence responds to storm damage with rapid assessment, temporary security solutions, and professional repair or replacement — whichever is the honest recommendation.

We document damage thoroughly for insurance purposes and can provide the written assessment that insurance adjusters require. If your fence was damaged in a River Valley storm, call ACE Fence first: (479) 646-5306.

What makes River Valley fence installation different from other areas?

The Arkansas River Valley presents specific installation challenges: expansive clay soils that can heave and shift with moisture cycles, rocky subsurface in hillside areas around Fort Smith, and seasonal flooding in low-lying areas near the Arkansas River. ACE Fence sets all posts to the depth and concrete specification required for River Valley conditions — not the minimum that gets by.

Do you offer fence repair and storm damage response in the River Valley?

Yes. The River Valley experiences severe spring and summer thunderstorm systems, including occasional derecho events with straight-line wind damage and tornado-adjacent damage.
