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.

Newmarket's 87,942 residents are served by Southlake Regional Health Centre, the largest employer in town and the reason its population skews older than York Region as a whole. It is also the coldest place we pour concrete.
Away from the shoreline Newmarket loses the lake's moderating effect. Winters average -5.8°C, colder than lakeside municipalities, with 145 cm of drier snow. Dry cold is easier on finishes and harder on hardware, so a fence and deck installation here lives or dies on how the posts were set.
We dig to 120 cm on every fence and deck installation in Newmarket. That is the code frost depth, and it is not negotiable on a structure meant to stay square. Season: Mid-April–early November.
What actually gets installed on Newmarket property lines skews toward pressure-treated pine, with western red cedar, composite decking and vinyl privacy fence close behind. That reflects what neighbours already have, and matching the street is usually worth more at resale than picking the premium option in isolation.
Newmarket is a small market, with Southlake Regional Health Centre, Town of Newmarket and York Region District School Board among the main employers. Larger lots are the norm, so the constraint is usually material volume rather than getting a machine into the yard.
At a walk score of 45, Newmarket mixes older tight-frontage streets with postwar lots. Glenway, Stonehaven, Huron Heights and Bristol-London cover most of what we build, and access ranges from a full driveway drop to a gate we have to take off its hinges.
Town of Newmarket Building Services is the authority having jurisdiction for Newmarket, so that is where the drawings and the deck permit application land. We handle the submission and meet the inspector on site.
Access splits street by street. The older blocks near the core are hand-carry and price toward the top of the range above; the subdivisions have a side drive and sit near the bottom. Which one applies to a given Newmarket property is settled on the site visit, not assumed. Snowfall runs about 145 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.
An inspection that starts at the ledger and the footings, with a straight answer on repair versus rebuild before any money is spent.
