Fence installation in Etobicoke

Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, so its fences follow the same Toronto Municipal Code. Property Fence is based in Etobicoke and works across it, from Mimico's lakeshore lots to The Kingsway's established streets and Rexdale.

What we account for in Etobicoke

  • Lakeshore lots in Mimico and Long Branch
  • Ravine-lot installations
  • Established neighbourhood character
  • Humber River proximity

Neighbourhoods we serve

We serve all Etobicoke areas from The Kingsway's established homes to Mimico's waterfront properties, Long Branch's established streets, and Rexdale's mix of post-war and infill lots.

Local considerations

Lakeshore lots in Mimico and Long Branch take more wind, and lots along the Humber River, Mimico Creek and Etobicoke Creek can sit in ravine or conservation-regulated areas. We plan post depth, panel style and placement around both.

Does a conservation authority affect fence work in Etobicoke?

If the lot is in a TRCA-regulated area, such as a valley, floodplain or shoreline, work there can need a TRCA permit. Ontario Regulation 41/24 exempts some fences that meet set criteria.
