Fence installation in London

London is the largest city in Southwestern Ontario, with older neighbourhoods like Wortley Village near downtown and newer subdivisions in the north and west. Property Fence installs wood, iron and chain-link fences across the city.

What we account for in London

  • Thames River valley lots
  • Older Old South and Old North lots
  • Newer north and west subdivisions
  • Pool enclosures

Neighbourhoods we serve

We serve all London areas from downtown's urban core to suburban areas including North London's Masonville, West London's Hyde Park, South London's White Oaks, and the historic Old South district.

Local considerations

The Thames River branches run through the city, so valley lots can fall in an Upper Thames River Conservation Authority regulated area. Older lots in Old South often have mature trees and narrow side yards.
