A fence is the handshake your property makes with the street. It should be straight enough to read as discipline, warm enough to feel residential, and strong enough that a January wind does not become a February insurance note.
Styles we build
- Classic cedar privacy with shadow-box options where airflow matters.
- Modern horizontal screens with hidden fasteners and steel posts where the design calls for it.
- Estate gates that swing on hinges sized for real weight — not the smallest box-store pair that “kind of” works.
Installation discipline
Posts are the soul of a fence. We set for drainage, brace gate openings like structural openings, and keep rails in plane so pickets do not look like a wave in three years.
-
Locate & verify
Utilities, easements, and survey pins — we confirm before the auger spins.
-
Post & beam
Depth, concrete strategy (where used), and hardware that matches exposure class.
-
Field & reveals
Consistent picket spacing, clean tops, and caps that shed water.
-
Gate fit
Latch height, swing arc, and striker adjustments — the daily touch points have to feel premium.
Frequently asked
How deep do you set posts in Ontario clay?
Depth and diameter follow frost lines and soil type — not a single magic number from a catalogue. In heavy clay we favour drainage at the post base and sometimes engineered footings for gates that carry real weight.
Can you match a neighbour’s fence line on a shared boundary?
We coordinate offsets, heights, and municipal bylaws before we cut a post. If a shared repair makes sense, we document expectations in writing so both sides know where the responsibility line sits.
What about winter installs?
Some phases are seasonal — concrete cure and certain finishes need temperature windows. We will not pour or stain into conditions that guarantee call-backs. If weather pauses work, communication does not pause with it.
Whether you need quiet backyard privacy in Durham or a frontage detail that elevates a corner lot in Oakville, we build fences that look as good on Monday morning as they do on Saturday night.
