Fence installation in Newmarket and Aurora

Newmarket and Aurora are neighbouring towns in York Region, each with its own fence and pool enclosure by-laws. Property Fence installs fences in both, from older lots near each historic Main Street to newer subdivisions.

What we account for in Newmarket and Aurora

  • Historic Main Street areas
  • Holland River valley lots
  • Oak Ridges Moraine lots (Aurora)
  • Pool enclosures

Neighbourhoods we serve

We serve both communities including Newmarket Central, Aurora Central, Stonehaven, Bayview Wellington, and Armitage, understanding each area's distinct character.

Local considerations

Lots along the Holland River and its tributaries can fall in a conservation-regulated area, and part of Aurora sits on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Because the two towns set their own rules, we check the right by-law for each address.
