CUSTOM FENCE CONTRACTOR TORONTO & GTA
From straight property-line runs to gates, pool enclosures, and coordinated backyard details, we build fences around the way the property actually works.
THE LINE THAT SHAPES THE YARD
A residential fence marks boundaries, manages views, controls movement, frames the landscape, and becomes the backdrop to everything in the yard. Height alone does not create a good result.
Diamond Decks & Pools plans the route, posts, grades, gates, transitions, materials, and sightlines together. We consider how the fence meets the house, deck, pool enclosure, retaining wall, driveway, trees, gardens, utilities, and neighbouring conditions.
The goal is a fence that feels quiet and intentional: straight where it should be, stepped or followed thoughtfully across grade, easy to use at gates, and compatible with the wider outdoor design.

WHAT A GOOD FENCE ADDS
The right fence creates structure without making the yard feel boxed in.
Practical Privacy
Board orientation, spacing, height, gate placement, and planting are coordinated with the views that matter.
Reliable Access
Gate width, swing, frame, hinges, latch, grade clearance, and routes for bins, equipment, and pool service are planned.
Architectural Fit
Wood species, profiles, caps, trim, colour, and hardware can connect the fence to the home and deck.
Landscape Structure
Fence lines establish a clean background for gardens, patios, lighting, seating, and other outdoor features.
FENCE CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Most fence complaints begin with movement, uneven lines, weak gates, trapped water, or details that did not account for grade. Material quality matters, but the layout and supporting construction matter just as much.
Wood changes as it gains and loses moisture. A thoughtful design allows for natural variation while controlling spans, fasteners, board layout, drainage, and the forces placed on posts and gates.
COMPARE WOOD OPTIONS
Both can build a strong residential fence. Appearance, budget, availability, finish expectations, and how the wood will weather should guide the choice.
Best fit: Homeowners prioritizing natural appearance, architectural detail, and a coordinated premium wood palette.
Best fit: Projects balancing broad coverage, dependable function, familiar wood character, and a more restrained material budget.
WHAT SHAPES THE INVESTMENT
Linear footage does not capture every condition. Corners, gates, grades, access, demolition, roots, walls, and pool requirements can change both labour and materials.

OUR PROCESS
Good planning keeps the installation efficient and prevents last-minute decisions where fences meet gates, structures, and changing grade.
1. Walk the Line
We review the proposed route, available survey, grades, access, existing fence, trees, utilities, neighbours, privacy goals, pool conditions, and gate needs.
2. Choose the System
We confirm material, height, panel style, board direction, post and cap details, hardware, finish, transitions, and any approval requirements.
3. Build and Align
Crews complete demolition as scoped, establish the fence line, install posts and framing, fit boards, build gates, and manage grade changes.
4. Review the Details
We inspect alignment, gates, latches, fasteners, clearances, transitions, cleanup, and restoration, then review care for the selected material.
FENCE FAQ
Fence decisions can involve boundaries, neighbours, utilities, visibility, pools, and municipal rules as well as design.
Ask Us About Your ProjectCost depends on total length and height, demolition, disposal, access, grade, soil, post system, wood or other material, board profile, trim, caps, corners, gates, hardware, finish, pool requirements, utilities, trees, walls, lighting, and restoration.
Toronto fence-height limits depend on property type and where the fence sits, including front, rear, side, driveway, and corner conditions. Grade is measured under the bylaw method, and an exemption process exists for proposals that do not comply. The current bylaw should be checked for the specific location.
A current survey or qualified boundary information can prevent expensive disputes and should be considered when the property line is uncertain. Existing fences, hedges, pins, walls, or neighbour assumptions are not automatically proof of the legal boundary.
Ownership and cost responsibility depend on where the fence is located, agreements, applicable law, and the facts of the property. Homeowners should clarify boundaries and communicate with neighbours before removal or construction. We do not determine legal ownership.
There is no universal lifespan. Wood species and grade, post and drainage details, soil, sun, wind, vegetation, irrigation, finish, fasteners, gate loads, snow, salt, construction quality, and maintenance all affect performance.
A stable hinge post, suitable frame design, diagonal bracing or other anti-sag construction, compatible hardware, controlled leaf size and weight, proper clearances, a positive stop, and thoughtful drainage all help. Heavy gates may need a different post or support strategy.
Potentially, if the complete enclosure complies with municipal requirements for height, openings, climbability, gates, access, construction, zoning approval, permit, and inspection. A typical yard fence should not be assumed to satisfy pool-enclosure rules without review.
Municipal planning references include the City of Toronto Fence Bylaw and pool-enclosure guidance. Current local rules, boundary information, site conditions, utility requirements, and product instructions govern each project.
PLAN THE FENCE LINE
A few photos and measurements help us understand the route, grade, access, gates, and the privacy or enclosure goals behind the project.
01
Share the Layout
Send the property address, approximate lengths, photos of each fence line, available survey, existing fence, grade changes, trees, walls, and access.
02
Describe the Use
Tell us about privacy, pets, children, pool enclosure, gate widths, equipment access, preferred style, material, timing, and budget range.
03
Review a Defined Scope
We clarify assumptions, identify special conditions, and prepare a proposal for the fence, gates, connected work, and restoration.
