Choosing a fence style isn’t just about looks — it depends on your property line, your neighbours, local bylaws, and how much maintenance you want to deal with. Here are the five styles we install most often across York Region and Durham Region.
1. Privacy Fencing
The most requested style for backyard properties in Aurora and Newmarket. Solid wood or composite panels block sightlines completely — ideal for pools, patios, and homes on busier streets.
2. Aluminum Fencing
A popular choice for front yards and pool enclosures across Durham Region, since it meets Ontario pool-safety bylaws while still allowing visibility. Low maintenance and holds up well through winter.
3. Vinyl Fencing
Increasingly popular for homeowners who want a clean, white-picket look without the repainting. Handles Ontario weather without warping like wood can.
4. Wood Picket & Semi-Privacy
A classic option for front-yard boundaries where full privacy isn’t the goal — common in older, tree-lined neighbourhoods across York Region.
5. Chain-Link
Still the most practical option for larger rural or semi-rural properties in Durham Region, particularly where budget or acreage makes solid fencing impractical.
