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.
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.
Pickering has 99,186 residents and one dominant employer, Ontario Power Generation, on the waterfront. Inland, the city runs up against two river valleys, and those valleys set the buildable limit on a surprising number of lots.
Pickering sits in the lake-effect band off Lake Ontario, which pushes annual snowfall to 140 cm, well above the downtown Toronto figure. Winter runs near -4.3°C. A fence and deck installation here carries more snow load for longer, and drifting against a solid privacy panel is a real design constraint rather than a footnote.
We dig to 120 cm on every fence and deck installation in Pickering. That is the code frost depth, and it is not negotiable on a structure meant to stay square. Season: April–November.
Pickering is a small market, with Ontario Power Generation, City of Pickering and Durham 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.
Permits and inspections for a fence and deck installation in Pickering go through City of Pickering Building Services, and we file them. Their review turnaround and their reading of the height and setback rules differ from the next municipality over, which is the main reason a local crew beats a general contractor driving in.
A walk score of 40 reflects a suburb built around the car, which is good news for a build: most lots in Highbush, Rougemount, Amberlea and Brock Ridge have driveway access and side-yard clearance wide enough for an auger.
Pickering yards run heavily to pressure-treated pine. Cedar, composite decking and aluminum picket make up most of the rest of what we quote here, and the mix is stable enough that we stock for it.
Most Pickering properties have a side drive or a rear gate wide enough to wheel material in, so a job here usually lands in the lower part of the range above. Snowfall runs about 140 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.
