Fence Contractor & Installation Services Across Toronto & the GTA

Fence contractor and fence installation Toronto services for privacy fences, wood and cedar fences, rebuilds, repairs, gates, line-setting, and permit-aware planning across the GTA. We work across the full range of GTA property types — from the tight urban lots in the Beaches where shared-line disputes are common, to the larger residential perimeters in North York where gate planning and grade changes add complexity.

If you are comparing fence contractors, privacy fence installation Toronto options, or gate installation help, start here for clear scope, practical planning, and the right next step for your property. Our process starts with confirming the property line from a current survey before posts are located, coordinating the utility locate, and planning gate placement — including swing clearance, latch height, and grade tolerance — before the run begins.

Toronto

Toronto fence jobs slow down for three reasons more than anything else: old concrete footings buried where the new posts need to go, property lines that haven't been verified since the original survey decades ago, and side yards so narrow that a wheelbarrow doesn't fit. We sort all three before posts go in, because fixing a fence that is 4 inches onto a neighbor's property or sitting on a buried footing costs more than doing it right the first time.

North York

North York fence work is complicated by what decades of lot history leave behind — mature trees pressing against fence lines, shared posts set by neighbors on old lots, and root systems that make getting to the required 1.2 m frost depth harder than it looks from the street. Setting a clean, straight run through an established North York yard takes more planning than most owners expect.

Scarborough

Scarborough fence work almost always runs into grade drops, stepped panel requirements, or chain link tear-outs on the wider lots in Agincourt and Rouge. Posts on exposed rear yards need to be set deep — we go to 1.2 m minimum per Ontario Building Code — because wind off open fields and ravine backs puts real lateral load on fence lines that a sheltered urban yard never sees. A straight line on paper turns into stepped sections and careful post placement on site.

Vaughan

Vaughan fence jobs are rarely simple runs. Full-perimeter fencing, double drive gates, and corner lot setbacks are the three things that complicate most Vaughan fence projects before a single post goes in. We sort those issues at the planning stage so the finished run looks intentional and the gate hardware stays true for more than one season.

Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill fence jobs usually mean bigger homes, raised grade, and gates that have to work properly around pools, patios, and tight side yards.

Whitby

Whitby fence work typically means full-perimeter planning on family lots in Pringle Creek and Blue Grass Meadows — gate placement for attached garages, rear yard access, and side runs that need to stay clean across grade changes. Port Whitby properties add a different layer: lakeside exposure, premium finish expectations, and survey-verified property lines before any post goes in.

Oshawa

Oshawa's wider lots mean longer fence runs and bigger gate layouts than most of the GTA — a full perimeter on an Eastdale or McLaughlin property can easily top 200 linear feet. Property line accuracy matters just as much here as anywhere in Durham Region, and getting it wrong before the posts go in creates problems that do not go away cheaply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle fence installation in Toronto and the GTA?

Yes. We handle fence installation in Toronto and across the GTA, including privacy fences, wood and cedar fences, gates, repairs, rebuilds, shared-line replacements, and full-perimeter layouts. We confirm line, grade, gate, and by-law considerations before posts go in.

How much does a fence cost in Toronto?

Fence costs in Toronto typically range from $5,000 to $25,000+ depending on material, length, and gate requirements. A basic pressure-treated wood privacy fence runs $60–$100 per linear foot installed. Cedar fences are $80–$130 per linear foot. Composite and vinyl fences run higher. We provide free written quotes after reviewing the property line and site conditions.

Do I need a permit to build a fence in Toronto?

In Toronto, fences over 2 metres (6.5 feet) require a permit through the Toronto Building Division. Front yard fences over 1 metre also require permits in many zones. Mississauga and Brampton follow the same 2.0 m threshold but through their own building divisions. We review permit requirements as part of our planning process and handle applications when required.

What is the best fence material for Toronto?

Toronto and GTA winters with freeze-thaw cycles mean post depth at 1.2 m minimum is non-negotiable. Cedar holds up better than most pressure-treated on shaded lots — it resists moisture naturally and ages well in mixed GTA conditions. Pressure-treated wood is cost-effective and handles sun-exposed perimeters well. Composite fencing is growing in popularity for its low maintenance and resistance to the spring frost-heave conditions common across GTA clay soils. We recommend material based on your privacy needs, budget, lot exposure, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Can you set a fence on the property line?

Yes — accurate property-line fencing requires a current survey. We work with existing surveys or coordinate with surveyors when the line is disputed or unclear. Setting posts without confirmed line locations is the most common cause of fence disputes. We sort this out before any post goes in.

Do you install fence gates?

Yes. We build and install wood, composite, and metal gates as part of every fence project. Single walk gates, double drive gates, and automatic gate operators are all within our scope. We plan gate placement for function — factoring grade, swing clearance, and latch height — before the fence run starts.
