From one rotted run to a full property line, our privacy fence installation covers cedar, wood, vinyl and composite builds, plus fence removal, gates, post replacement and bylaw height checks across North York.
Western red cedar boards resist rot, hold their colour longer and give your yard a warm, solid privacy screen.

Old fence pulled, posts dug out, hauled away, then a fresh wood privacy fence set on new frost-depth footings.

Composite privacy fencing shrugs off moisture and sun, with colour holding through Ontario freeze-thaw cycles.
Single and double-drive gates hung on heavy-duty hinges, braced square so they latch cleanly after one winter.
Pool area privacy fencing built to Chapter 447 enclosure rules, with self-closing, self-latching gate latches.

Straight, honest answers to what North York homeowners ask us before booking a privacy fence: real cost per linear foot, legal fence height, permits, post depth, shared fence lines with a neighbour and realistic install timelines.
Most privacy fences in North York run about $55 to $130 per linear foot installed. Pressure-treated wood sits at the low end, cedar board-on-board in the middle, and vinyl or composite at the top. A 6 ft cedar privacy fence along a 120 ft backyard line usually lands between $9,000 and $15,000, with old fence removal included. Height, gates, slope, access and disposal all move the number. We measure your yard and give you one exact written price, free.
Up to 2.0 metres, about 6 ft 7 in, in rear and side yards. North York is part of the City of Toronto, so Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 447 sets the limit from Willowdale to Downsview. Front yard fences are capped at 1.2 m, and a solid, opaque privacy fence close to a lot line facing the street is held lower than an open-picket one. Side yards on corner lots are also capped at 1.2 m. A 6 ft rear privacy fence is the standard North York build and stays inside the limit.
No, not for a standard residential privacy fence built inside the bylaw limits. You do need approval for a swimming pool enclosure, a fence taller than the Chapter 447 maximum, fences on heritage properties, and anything blocking a corner sight triangle. Going over the height limit means a fence exemption application heard by North York Community Council, with a non-refundable fee and notice to neighbours. We check your lot and tell you before we dig.

Cedar is the best all-round pick for most North York backyards. It resists rot naturally, stays straighter than pine, and looks right next to the mature trees in Don Mills and York Mills. Pressure-treated wood costs less and does fine when posts are set properly. Vinyl and composite cost more up front but never need staining, which suits owners who do not want a weekend project every third spring.
Most North York privacy fences take one to three days on site. Long property lines, slopes, double gates and stubborn old concrete footings can push it to four or five. Before that, allow about a week for the free Ontario One Call utility locate, plus our current booking window. You get a firm install date in writing, not a vague “sometime next month”.
The cost of a shared boundary fence is normally split between both owners under Ontario’s Line Fences Act. If a neighbour will not agree, the Act lets the municipality appoint fence-viewers to settle height, materials and cost sharing. In practice, most North York jobs settle with a conversation and a written quote. We give you a quote you can hand to your neighbour, and we can invoice each side separately.
Below the local frost line, roughly 1.2 m or 4 ft deep, set in concrete. Shallow posts are the single biggest reason fences lean here: winter frost grips the post, lifts it, and the fence never comes back down straight. We also step up to 6×6 posts on gate ends, tall runs and exposed corner lots where wind load is higher.
Yes, and it is required by law in Ontario. We file the Ontario One Call locate request for you before any post hole is dug. It is free, usually takes about five business days, and it maps gas, hydro, telecom and cable lines so nobody hits a service. Private lines to a garage, pool heater or shed need a private locate, which we flag at the estimate.
Spring through late fall is easiest, but we build year-round when the ground is workable. Spring books out fastest, so calling in February or March usually gets you an earlier date. Late fall is often the quietest window with the shortest wait. Deep-frozen ground in January and February slows post digging and can add cost.
A 6-foot privacy fence in North York costs about $45 to $140 per linear foot installed in 2026. Material drives most of that spread. Here is what each option runs, fully installed with concrete-set posts.
Privacy fence type | Installed cost per linear foot | 100 ft backyard fence | Lifespan |
Pressure-treated board-on-board | $45 – $70 | $4,500 – $7,000 | 15–20 years |
Western red cedar | $65 – $95 | $6,500 – $9,500 | 20–30 years |
Vinyl (PVC) | $80 – $120 | $8,000 – $12,000 | 25–30 years |
Composite | $95 – $140 | $9,500 – $14,000 | 25–30 years |
Most North York backyards need 90 to 160 linear feet. A standard city lot with fencing on three sides usually lands between $7,000 and $12,000 for cedar.
Replace the fence when more than a third of the posts are rotted or heaved. Repair it when the damage is in the boards and rails. Posts carry the whole fence. Boards are cheap to swap. Here’s the quick test. Grab a post at the top and push. If it rocks in the ground, the footing failed. Check the post at grade level — that’s where rot starts, right at the soil line. Poke it with a screwdriver. If the tip sinks in easily, that post is done. Common reasons North York fences fail early:
We replace failed sections without rebuilding your whole run when the rest is sound. If the whole line is going, we pull it, haul it and rebuild – usually inside the same week.

We work around the North York Civic Centre and Mel Lastman Square area, the Yonge and Sheppard corridor, the Bayview Village and Fairview Mall neighbourhoods, the older Downsview streets near Downsview Park, and the ravine-backed lots near Edwards Gardens and Sunnybrook Park. Each pocket has its own quirks. Willowdale infill lots often have a new build next door and a property line nobody has surveyed in forty years. Don Mills and Banbury lots have big mature trees over the fence line. Downsview has tight side yards and laneway access. We’ve worked all of them.
