Etobicoke & Greater Toronto Area
A well-built fence changes how a property feels to live in. It defines space, adds privacy, keeps children and pets safely contained, and gives a yard a finished, intentional look. We install wood fences, privacy fences, decorative fences, and gates across Etobicoke, Toronto, and Mississauga — built properly from post to panel so they stay plumb and solid for years.
Most fence failures come down to post installation. A post that isn't set deep enough, isn't properly supported in the ground, or is installed without accounting for drainage will heave, lean, or rot well before the fence boards above it need replacing. The fence itself is only as good as what's holding it up.
We set posts to appropriate depth for Ontario frost conditions, use concrete where needed, and make sure drainage isn't working against the installation. On properties with significant grade changes or drainage concerns, we coordinate fence work alongside yard grading or drainage solutions so the fence line isn't sitting in a problem area from day one.
Fence installation also tends to come up as part of larger yard projects. When a new interlock patio or driveway is going in, or when a retaining wall is redefining the grade of a yard, fencing is often the next step. We can coordinate the work so the fence aligns with the finished grade rather than being an afterthought.
We provide a written quote based on an on-site visit before any work begins. No estimates over the phone — fence pricing depends on the materials, layout, grade changes, and ground conditions we find when we're actually there.
Most fence installations are driven by one or two clear needs. Understanding which one applies to your property helps us recommend the right style and height before you commit to anything.
A solid privacy fence is one of the most effective ways to make a backyard feel usable — particularly on smaller urban lots where neighbouring yards, windows, and decks are close. A 6-foot privacy fence along the rear and sides of a yard changes how the space feels to spend time in.
A fully enclosed yard with a latching gate provides a contained outdoor space for children and pets without requiring constant supervision. This is one of the most common reasons families install full perimeter fencing, and the quality of the gate hardware matters as much as the fence itself.
A fence along a property line makes boundaries clear, prevents encroachment, and removes ambiguity when it comes to shared-space issues with neighbours. Before any fence goes along or near a property line, we recommend confirming the exact boundary — property surveys and fence lines don't always match what people assume.
A well-chosen decorative fence along the front of a property ties the landscaping together and gives the yard a finished, deliberate look. Front yard fences are typically lower and more open in style than backyard privacy fences — more about appearance and delineation than enclosure.
Leaning posts, rotting boards, and sections that have come apart at the frame are all signs a fence has reached the end of its useful life. Patching individual boards on a fence with compromised posts rarely holds for long — replacement is often the more practical option when the structure itself has failed.
A fence doesn't need to be elaborate to make a property more secure. A properly installed fence with a latching gate creates an additional barrier that adds a meaningful layer of deterrence — particularly along rear laneways or side yards that aren't visible from the street.
We work primarily with wood — the most common choice in the GTA for both privacy and decorative applications. Here's a breakdown of what we install and what each type involves.
Wood is the most versatile and widely used fencing material in residential Etobicoke and Toronto yards. It can be built at almost any height, stained or left natural, and styled from simple board-on-board to more finished profiles. We source pressure-treated lumber for posts and structural components, and cedar or treated pine for fence boards depending on the project and budget.
A privacy fence uses solid boards installed with no gaps — or minimal gaps — between them, typically at 6 feet in height. This is the most common request we get, and it's what most homeowners picture when they think about a backyard fence. The details that matter most are post depth, rail spacing, and whether the tops are cut flat, dog-eared, or lattice-capped. We go through the options when we're on site.
Decorative fences are lower and more open in style than privacy fences — picket fences, shadowbox designs, and spaced-board styles are common choices for front yards and garden borders. They define space and improve curb appeal without fully enclosing a yard. The height and style depend on what the fence is meant to do: delineate, frame, or simply add a finished edge to the landscaping.
When a fence has failed at the post level — leaning, heaving, or rotting at the base — replacement is usually more practical than ongoing repairs. We remove the existing fence and posts, clear the post holes, and install the new fence from scratch. Old fence disposal is included. If the area has drainage issues that contributed to the previous fence failing, we can address those as part of the project so the new installation doesn't face the same conditions. See our drainage solutions for more on that.
Gates are the most structurally demanding part of a fence. A gate that sags or won't latch properly is almost always a post or hinge issue — not a gate issue. We size gate posts appropriately for the span and weight of the gate, set them deeper, and use hardware rated for the application. Single and double gates, pedestrian and drive-through widths — we build what the layout requires.
Before any fence goes in along or near a property line, it's worth confirming where that line actually is. Survey stakes are not always present, and fence lines from previous installations don't always reflect accurate boundaries. We recommend homeowners obtain a survey or confirm their lot boundaries through the city before we install. We dig the locate request through Ontario One Call before any post goes in the ground, but boundary confirmation is the homeowner's responsibility. On shared fences, having a conversation with the neighbour before work starts avoids complications later.
Every fence job starts with a site visit. Layout, grade changes, soil conditions, and gate placement all affect how the project gets planned and priced.
We visit the property, walk the fence line with you, discuss style and height, and look at grade changes, ground conditions, and gate placement. You receive a written quote based on what we see — not a ballpark figure from a phone conversation.
Before digging, we submit a locate request through Ontario One Call to flag buried utilities. We then lay out the post positions along the agreed fence line, confirming spacing and gate locations before any holes are dug.
Posts are the foundation of the fence. We dig to appropriate depth for Ontario frost conditions, set posts plumb, and secure with concrete where required. Gate posts are set deeper and with additional support given the extra load they carry. Posts are given adequate cure time before rails and boards go on.
Rails are attached to the posts at the correct spacing for the board height, boards are installed to the agreed style and profile, and gates are hung and adjusted for smooth operation and positive latch engagement. The site is cleared of all material and waste before we leave.
A fence is only as solid as its posts. We dig to proper depth, set plumb, and use concrete where the load or soil conditions call for it. It's the part of the job that determines how long the fence lasts.
We submit a locate request before every job. Digging without one risks hitting buried utilities. This is a non-negotiable step on every project, regardless of how simple the job looks.
You receive a clear written quote outlining the agreed scope, materials and price before work begins. If unforeseen site conditions or requested changes affect the scope, we discuss them with you and receive approval before completing any additional work.
Fencing often follows grading, drainage, or hardscape work. We can coordinate all of it so the fence aligns with the finished grade and doesn't need adjusting after the fact.
We carry general liability insurance on all work. Proof is available on request before any work begins on your property.
