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.

Etobicoke's 365,143 residents are served by Humber College, William Osler Health System and Woodbine Entertainment. It follows Toronto's rules, but it was laid out as a separate suburb and the lots show it.
The lake holds Etobicoke at roughly -3.6°C through winter, which sounds gentle until you count the thaws. Snow totals reach 105 cm a year and much of it melts and refreezes repeatedly, so a fence and deck installation built here needs drainage and fastening that tolerate movement rather than one hard freeze.
We dig to 120 cm on every fence and deck installation in Etobicoke. That is the code frost depth, and it is not negotiable on a structure meant to stay square. Season: April–November.
Toronto Building (City of Toronto, Etobicoke York District) is the authority having jurisdiction for Etobicoke, so that is where the drawings and the deck permit application land. We handle the submission and meet the inspector on site.
Employers in Etobicoke including Humber College, William Osler Health System and Woodbine Entertainment account for a large share of the local commute. Enough of our work here comes from one street referring to the next that we plan routes around clusters rather than single jobs.
The common specification in Etobicoke is western red cedar. We also install composite decking, aluminum picket and pressure-treated pine regularly, and the choice usually comes down to how long you plan to own the house rather than to price per foot.
Etobicoke sits at 59 on walkability. We work regularly through Islington Village, The Kingsway, Long Branch and Mimico, and the first thing we confirm on a site visit is whether a machine can reach the post line or whether it is a shovel job.
Lots here are narrow and most have no side drive, so posts, rails and concrete come down a walkway by hand and the spoil goes back out the same way. That crew time is real, and it puts Etobicoke work in the upper part of the range shown above rather than the middle. Snowfall runs about 105 cm a year here, and that is what sets the railing and substructure spec rather than the fence rate. Footings go below the 120 cm frost line either way.

Old material hauled away
Six or eight foot board-on-board or tongue-and-groove privacy fencing, built to the 2.0 m rear-yard limit that applies at your address.
Western red or eastern white cedar fencing that resists rot through its own heartwood oils, with 4x4 posts standard and a 6x6 upgrade.
Colour-through composite boards on an aluminum or steel frame, so the top line stays straight and nothing ever needs staining.
Privacy, semi-privacy and picket vinyl panels in white and almond that lock into routed posts and rinse clean with a garden hose.
Powder-coated aluminum picket fencing that racks to follow sloped grade and takes self-closing pool-enclosure gate hardware.
Galvanised or black vinyl-coated mesh in 4, 5 and 6 foot heights, with walk and double drive gates and effectively zero maintenance.
Walk and double drive gates with a diagonal brace from the bottom hinge to the top latch corner, so the frame cannot rack into a sag.
A straight answer on whether your fence is worth keeping, with the posts probed at grade — and a line-item price for the replacement when it is not.
Decks framed from footings below the 1.2 m frost line, in pressure-treated, cedar, composite or PVC, with permit drawings handled.
Capped composite deck boards from entry to premium tier, laid on hidden fasteners with an optional mitred picture-frame border.
PVC deck boards with no wood content at all, the coolest surface in their class underfoot and the answer for shaded damp decks.
Western red or eastern white cedar decking, cooler underfoot than composite, fastened with stainless or coated screws and sealed at the cuts.
Wood, aluminum or glass guards built to OBC 9.8.8 heights, priced per linear foot as their own line and retrofittable to an existing deck.
Stringers cut to your measured deck height so every riser is equal, with a graspable handrail on every flight and a proper landing pad.
