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.

Richmond Hill has 202,022 residents and draws much of its employment from Mackenzie Health and the technology firms along Highway 7, Compugen among them. The town straddles a sand ridge that behaves nothing like the clay around it.
Richmond Hill runs a genuinely continental winter: -5.3°C on average and 135 cm of snow that stays powdery. Ground frost goes in early and comes out late, which makes footing depth the single decision that determines whether a fence and deck installation is still plumb in five years.
We dig to 120 cm on every fence and deck installation in Richmond Hill. That is the code frost depth, and it is not negotiable on a structure meant to stay square. Season: April–November.
Anything structural on a fence and deck installation in Richmond Hill is reviewed by City of Richmond Hill Building Services. We know what they ask for, we submit it, and we schedule around their inspection windows so the build does not stall waiting on a sign-off.
Richmond Hill is a mid-sized market where we can usually hold a tighter schedule. Local employers include Mackenzie Health, Compugen and York Region District School Board.
What actually gets installed on Richmond Hill property lines skews toward composite decking, with western red cedar, aluminum picket 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.
A walk score of 43 reflects a suburb built around the car, which is good news for a build: most lots in Observatory, Oak Ridges, Mill Pond and Bayview Hill have driveway access and side-yard clearance wide enough for an auger.
Most Richmond Hill 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 135 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.

We file the locate before we dig
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.
