Fence installation in Oshawa and Whitby

Oshawa and Whitby are neighbouring Durham Region municipalities, each with its own fence rules. Property Fence installs fences across both, from older downtown lots to newer subdivisions in north Oshawa and Brooklin.

What we account for in Oshawa and Whitby

  • Lake Ontario shoreline lots
  • Brooklin rural-edge properties
  • Older downtown lots
  • Pool enclosures

Neighbourhoods we serve

We serve both Oshawa and Whitby including downtown areas, Brooklin's family community, Taunton corridor, Donevan area, and Pringle Creek neighbourhoods.

Local considerations

Lots along the creeks that run south to Lake Ontario can fall in a conservation-regulated area, and lakeshore properties take more wind. Rural-edge lots near Brooklin often need longer runs and wider gates.
