Instant fence & deck estimate
01 / 09Every city sets its own fence height limit and its own deck permit threshold, and the frost depth changes what a footing costs before anyone picks a board. Pick your city and the page tells you the local rules.
Toronto's oldest residential blocks were surveyed before setbacks were standardised, so a Leslieville or Riverdale lot line often runs at an angle no stock fence panel will follow — every run gets scribed on site rather than dropped in pre-built.

Mississauga's subdivisions were built in waves, and the wave shows in the fence line: Lorne Park and Clarkson backyards still carry 1970s cedar on wood posts, while Churchill Meadows and Meadowvale went up with vinyl and steel posts. The replacement approach is different on each side of the city.

Brampton's Springdale and Mount Pleasant subdivisions went up fast on narrow-frontage lots, which put neighbouring rear decks within a few feet of each other — privacy screening on the deck itself is requested here more often than anywhere else we work.

The Niagara Escarpment splits Hamilton into two different jobs: below the mountain the lots are flat century-home yards with shale close to the surface, and above it the yards step down the slope, so a Stoney Creek or Ancaster deck is usually a multi-level build rather than a single platform.

Vaughan has the largest average lot depth of the inner-ring municipalities, and in Kleinburg and Vellore Village that depth turns into fence runs of 150 to 200 feet on a single property — long enough that panel alignment over a rolling grade becomes the main craft problem.

Markham's Cornell and Berczy Village were built to New Urbanist standards with rear laneways and detached garages, so the fence has to negotiate a garage wall, a laneway gate and a service corridor rather than simply running around a yard.

Sixteen Mile Creek and Bronte Creek cut ravines through Oakville, and any yard backing onto them falls under Conservation Halton regulation — a deck footing inside the regulated area needs a permit from the conservation authority before the town will look at it.

Burlington runs from the lakeshore up onto the escarpment inside a few kilometres, so Roseland yards sit on deep lakeplain soil that augers easily while Tyandaga and north Aldershot hit escarpment rock. Two different fence-post footing methods inside one city.

Milton is the youngest housing stock in our service area — Hawthorne Village, Ford and Clarke were largely built after 2005 — so most of the work here is a first deck on a bare builder-grade yard rather than a replacement of something that failed.

Oak Ridges and Jefferson sit on the Oak Ridges Moraine, where the soil is sand and gravel rather than the clay that covers most of the GTA. A fence post hole there drains fast and holds a concrete collar differently than one dug five kilometres south.

Newmarket's Main Street South heritage district has yards backing onto the Tom Taylor Trail and the Holland River, so rear fences there are built to a height and sightline that satisfies both the town's heritage guidance and the trail frontage — not a standard suburban back fence.

Oshawa's O'Neill and Donevan streets were built as GM worker housing in the 1940s and 50s on generous, flat lots with detached garages. The original chain link fence from that era is still standing on many of them, and replacing it is the single most common job we quote in the city.

Brooklin was a separate village until Whitby grew north to meet it, and its older core still has deep village lots with mature hedgerows on the line — fence work there is as much about negotiating an existing hedge as about setting posts.

Ajax has an unusually long stretch of publicly owned waterfront, and the lots in Pickering Beach and Discovery Bay behind it catch wind straight off Lake Ontario — a solid privacy fence there acts as a sail, so post spacing is tightened rather than run at the standard eight feet.

Aurora's Regency Acres and Aurora Highlands streets were laid out among existing woodlots, so a large number of backyards here still contain mature hardwoods inside the fence line — tree protection, not soil, is what most often dictates where a post can go.

Rougemount and Highbush back onto the Rouge and Petticoat Creek valleys, which puts those yards inside Toronto and Region Conservation Authority regulated land — the ravine edge, not the lot line, is what limits how far back a deck can be built.

The Scarborough Bluffs put a regulated slope behind every yard in Cliffside, Guildwood and Fallingbrook, so properties along the bluff top carry a stability setback that sits well inside the lot line. No deck footing or fence post goes behind it.

The Kingsway and Markland Wood have some of the widest residential lots inside the City of Toronto, which means Etobicoke is the one place in the old city where a truck and an auger can usually reach the backyard — the same fence costs less to build here than four kilometres east.

We are an installation contractor, not a manufacturer or a materials retailer. We build decks and fences on your property across the Greater Toronto Area: layout, footings below the frost line, framing, boards, railings, stairs and gates, finished and inspected. Composite boards are a surface option we install, alongside pressure-treated lumber and western red cedar, and the boards themselves are made by manufacturers we do not represent and whose brands we do not resell. If you already have material on site we can build with it; if you do not, we specify and source what suits the deck and include it in the written fixed price. What you are buying from us is the build and the crew that stands behind it, not a product off a shelf.
