Custom Wood Fence Installation
Every property is different, and every fence we build is designed to match your layout and needs.

Whether you are replacing an old fence or building new, we tailor the installation to your property.
Built for Ontario Weather
Fences in the GTA must handle freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and soil movement. Many fence failures happen because posts are not installed deep enough or properly supported.
We install fences using proven methods designed for local conditions:
- Posts installed 4 to 4.5 feet deep below the frost line
- 12 inch wide post holes for stability
- Proper concrete support for long-term performance
- Galvanized fasteners to prevent rust
A strong foundation is what keeps your fence straight and secure over time.
Wood Fence Styles & Options
We build a range of wood fences to match your property and preferences.
Common options include:
- Full privacy fences
- Horizontal wood fences
- Traditional vertical board fences
- Lattice-top designs
- Decorative fencing
Each style can be customized based on your layout and desired level of privacy.
Wood Fence Material Options
Choosing the right material is an important part of your project.
Pressure Treated Wood
The most common option for fences across the GTA.
- Cost-effective and widely used
- Designed to resist rot and outdoor conditions
- Ideal for most residential properties
- Requires maintenance over time
Cedar Fencing
A premium option with a more natural appearance.
- Naturally resistant to moisture and insects
- Less prone to warping than standard lumber
- Higher-end look and finish
- Higher upfront cost
We help you choose the right material based on your budget, maintenance expectations, and long-term goals.
Wood vs Composite Fencing
Many homeowners compare wood and composite before making a decision.
| Feature | Wood Fencing | Composite Fencing |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower upfront | Higher upfront |
| Maintenance | Requires upkeep | Very low maintenance |
| Appearance | Natural wood look | Consistent finish |
| Lifespan | Depends on maintenance | Long-lasting |
Wood is often the better choice for homeowners looking for flexibility and lower upfront cost, while composite is better for long-term, low-maintenance solutions.
