Fence Installation in Ontario
A fence in Ontario lives or dies by its posts. Set them shallow and frost heave will lift and tilt them a little more each winter until the whole run leans. We dig below the frost line, set posts properly, and build the fence to survive the climate it's standing in β that's the difference between a fence that's straight in year ten and one that's firewood in year six.
Wood privacy fence is still the most popular build: pressure-treated for value, cedar for looks. Vinyl costs more up front and never needs staining. Chain link remains the practical choice for containing dogs and marking lines without blocking light. We also build gates that actually swing true β and keep swinging true.
Fence height and placement are governed by municipal bylaws, and on shared lot lines it pays to talk to your neighbour before the auger shows up. Many neighbours split the cost of a shared fence; either way, we'll help you confirm the line and the local rules as part of the quote.
