Custom Deck and Fence Installation Across Toronto and the GTA

OCM Excavation & Construction installs custom fences for homeowners, builders, and commercial clients across the Greater Toronto Area. From classic cedar privacy fencing to ornamental iron, chain-link, and vinyl, our crew handles every step — post drilling, footing, framing, and finishing. Whether you need to secure a backyard, define a property line, contain pets, or add curb appeal, we deliver a fence built to last in the Canadian climate.

Fence Types We Install

Wood privacy fences — cedar and pressure-treated pine. The classic 6 ft privacy fence for backyards. Cedar gives you the premium look and natural rot resistance; pressure-treated is the budget option.

Vinyl/PVC fencing — never needs paint or stain, holds up against freeze-thaw cycles, available in white, beige, and woodgrain finishes. Premium upfront cost, decades of zero maintenance.

Chain-link fencing — affordable, durable security fencing for backyards, pools, dog runs, and commercial properties. Available galvanized or vinyl-coated in black, green, or brown.

Ornamental iron and aluminum — high-end front yard and pool-area fencing. Powder-coated aluminum gives you the wrought-iron look without the rust.

Composite fencing — newer material combining wood fiber and plastic. Looks like wood, performs like vinyl. Great mid-tier choice.

Our Fence Installation Process

• Free on-site quote — we measure your property line, discuss style and material options, and email you a written quote within 24 hours.
• Locates and permits — we call for utility locates (gas, water, telecom) and pull any required municipal permits before digging.
• Post hole drilling — using a powered auger we drill below the frost line (minimum 4 ft in the GTA), ensuring posts are anchored and won’t heave with winter freeze-thaw.
• Concrete footings — every post gets a poured concrete footing for maximum stability.
• Framing and panels — installed by experienced crews who keep posts straight, panels level, and gates square.
• Gate installation — single or double, with heavy-duty hinges and latches rated for the fence material and weight.
• Cleanup and walkthrough — we haul away all spoils and old fencing material, then walk the property with you to ensure satisfaction.

Before & After Fence Projects

Fence Installation FAQ

How deep do fence posts need to go in the GTA?

Minimum 4 feet below ground to clear the frost line. Anything shallower will heave with winter freeze-thaw cycles and lean within a year or two. We drill every post below frost depth and set it in concrete.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Toronto or Vaughan?

Most GTA municipalities require permits for fences over a certain height (typically 2 m on the property line). We check the specific rules for your municipality and pull permits when needed.

How long does fence installation take?

A typical 100 ft cedar fence is installed in 2–4 working days, including post drilling, concrete curing, panel installation, and gate hanging. Larger commercial projects scale up from there.

Will you remove my old fence?

Yes. Old-fence demolition and disposal is included in most quotes, or we can quote it separately if you prefer.

What’s the best fence material for a pool enclosure?

In Ontario, pool enclosure fences must meet minimum height requirements (usually 1.2 m) and have self-closing/self-latching gates. Aluminum and vinyl are popular because they meet code, don’t rot from chlorinated water splash, and look clean.
