Overview
Fences that stay straight after the frost
Walk any older street in the GTA in spring and you'll see the same failure: fence sections leaning, gates that no longer latch, posts lifted a few inches out of the ground. Frost does that. When wet soil around a shallow post freezes, it grips the post and pulls it upward, a little more every winter.
The fix is in the holes. We dig each post below the frost line, set it in concrete, and check it for plumb and spacing before any rails go up. Then comes the part you actually look at: cedar or pressure-treated boards in the style you want, or black steel panels for a cleaner, more open look, with caps, trim and gates sized for their weight. Before any of that, we confirm where the property line is and get underground utilities marked, so the fence goes where it should and nothing gets hit.

How we do it
Confirm the line
We confirm the property line and get utility locates before any digging.
Set the posts
Posts go in concrete below frost depth, set plumb and evenly spaced.
Build the fence
Rails, boards or steel panels go up straight, with caps and trim.
Hang the gates
Gates are hung square with hardware sized for their weight, and self-closing where pool rules apply.
Fence heights and local by-laws
Every GTA municipality sets its own fence rules, and they change with where the fence sits on your lot. In general, backyard and side-yard fences can be taller than front-yard ones, which are kept low so drivers can see pedestrians and traffic at driveways and corners. In both Mississauga and Toronto, rear-yard fences are commonly capped at about 2 m, with stricter limits in front yards and at corner lots. Toronto's rules sit in Municipal Code Chapter 447; Mississauga has its own fence by-law.
Height is measured from the ground at the fence, so on a sloped lot the panels may step down rather than follow one straight top line. If you want something taller than the by-law allows, both cities have an exemption or variance process, which takes time. We check the rule for your exact spot before we price the job, so the fence you approve is one you can keep.
Pool fences and enclosure permits
A fence around a backyard pool isn't just a fence: it's a pool enclosure, and municipalities regulate it closely. Toronto requires a pool enclosure permit, and Mississauga requires an inspection and a Certificate of Approval under its Swimming Pool Enclosure By-law 0191-2011. Both set minimum heights, limits on gaps and footholds that a child could climb, and gates that self-close and self-latch from the pool side. The house wall and doors can form part of the enclosure, which brings its own requirements.
We build to the enclosure rules for your municipality and leave the permit and inspection steps clear, so the fence passes the first time. We don't build pools, but we can fence around an existing or planned one. Because gate hardware wears, it's worth testing that every pool gate still closes and latches on its own at the start of each swimming season.
Property lines, neighbours and locates
Most fence disputes start with an assumed line. An old fence, a hedge or the edge of a lawn is often not where the boundary is. We work from your survey where you have one, and if the line is unclear we'll recommend having it staked before posts go in. Building just inside your line keeps the fence yours to maintain and replace.
For a shared boundary fence, Ontario's Line Fences Act gives neighbours a process, through a municipal fence-viewer, to settle how a fence on the line is built and paid for when they can't agree. Talking it through first is quicker and cheaper. Before digging, we request free utility locates through Ontario One Call, since gas, hydro and cable lines often run along the side and rear lot lines where fences go.

FAQ
Fence questions before you build
How much does fencing cost?
It depends on size, site and materials. Typical GTA projects run around $55–$95 per linear ft, wood privacy fence. Steel and specialty fencing are quoted after a site visit. We give you an exact written quote after a free site visit.
How tall can my fence be?
It depends on the municipality and where the fence sits on the lot. Backyard fences in Mississauga and Toronto are commonly limited to about 2 m. We check your by-law before building.
Cedar or pressure-treated wood?
Cedar costs more but resists rot naturally and looks better as it ages. Pressure-treated is stronger and cheaper. Both last when the posts are set right.
Do I need my neighbour's permission?
For a fence on your own side of the line, generally no, but talking first avoids disputes. Shared boundary fences have their own rules under Ontario's Line Fences Act.
How deep do fence posts go in the GTA?
Below the frost line, which in the Toronto area is roughly 4 feet (1.2 m). Shallower posts get lifted by frost over a few winters, which is why so many older fences lean.
How long does a new wood fence take to install?
A typical backyard fence takes a few days: one for locates and post holes, time for the concrete to set, then boards, caps and gates. Steel panels often go up faster once the posts are set.
