Fence Installation in Toronto

Toronto regulates fences more than most homeowners expect. Under the city's fence bylaw, a residential backyard fence can generally be up to 2 metres (about 6 ft 7 in) high; front yards have lower limits, and corner lots carry extra rules where a fence could block the view of drivers and pedestrians. We check the rules against your lot before we quote — a fence built two inches too tall in the wrong spot is an expensive lesson.

Then there's the line itself. We build on the property line as it's marked — but if the line is genuinely unclear (old fences wander more often than you'd think), a survey is the honest way to settle it before anyone digs. And because most Toronto fences sit on shared boundaries, cost is usually a shared conversation too: neighbours commonly split the price of a line fence, and we're happy to quote the full run so both households see the same number.

A fence can't be priced from a chart the way a deck can: the real cost lives in the total length, the height, the style, how many gates you need, the slope of your lot, and whether an old fence has to come out first. So instead of a misleading per-foot teaser, we measure your actual line and give you one exact, fixed quote — free. No pressure, and the number doesn't move once we've given it.

Planning a deck on the same project? That's where our published rates apply: pressure-treated wood decks at $22–35 per sq ft, cedar at $25–38, and composite at $28–40, all installed. Fence and deck together are a natural pairing — one crew, one schedule, one finished backyard. Price the deck side instantly with the Deck Calculator.
