A fence can provide privacy, define a yard and make access easier to manage. Bluestone Landscaping provides fence installation in Pickering with material and layout options suited to the property. We discuss your goals, the boundary information and gate locations before deciding on the final design.
What the service includes
The agreed work can include removal of an existing fence, post installation, panels or rails, gates and hardware. Wood, vinyl and chain-link options have different appearances and maintenance requirements. The right choice depends on whether privacy, an open view or a simple boundary is the priority.
A fence layout needs to account for slopes, planting and everyday access. Gate width matters for moving bins, lawn equipment or future construction materials. Property lines should be confirmed rather than assumed from an old fence or a neighbour’s recollection.
Our process
We start with the proposed fence line, measurements and access details. We discuss neighbours, existing structures and local rules that may affect height or location. Underground services must be considered before digging, and any required utility locating or permissions should be completed first.
Installation follows the agreed layout and post-setting approach. Fence sections and gates are fitted to the site, with attention to grade changes and usable clearances. We check gate operation and tidy the agreed work areas, then discuss ongoing care for the selected material.
What affects the cost
Fence length, height and material affect the quote, but so do the number and size of gates. Removing an old fence, difficult ground, slopes and limited access can add work. Hardware choices and finishing requirements also matter. Make sure the quote states whether removal, disposal and any staining or treatment are included.
Common questions
Can I replace the fence along the same line?
An existing fence is not proof of the legal boundary. Confirm the property line and discuss the proposed work with affected neighbours before installation. Local rules may also affect replacement height or location.
Can a fence go across a slope?
Yes, but the design needs to suit the grade and the chosen system. We discuss the appearance and any gaps near the ground, particularly where pets or privacy are a concern.
Do I need a special fence for a pool?
Pool enclosure requirements are different from ordinary yard fencing. Tell us if a pool is involved and confirm the current municipal rules before selecting a design or gate.
