Wood Fence Installation in York Region, Durham Region & the GTA

A wood fence adds privacy, security, and structure to your property. When installed properly, it can last for years and improve the overall look of your home.

At A.D. Holmes Fence & Deck, we install wood fences across Richmond Hill, Markham, Aurora, Newmarket, Whitby, Oshawa, and surrounding GTA communities. With over 25+ years of experience, our team focuses on proper installation, quality materials, and long-term durability.

Custom Wood Fence Installation

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

We install:

  • Pressure treated wood fences
  • Cedar fences
  • Horizontal wood fencing
  • Privacy fences
  • Lattice and decorative designs

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.
