Your Wood Fence Options

Premium Wood Fencing Tailored to Your Property

A wood fence brings natural beauty, warmth, and versatility to any home. Whether you’re looking for full privacy, a stylish modern design, or a classic picket aesthetic, our wood fences are custom-built to match your space, your budget, and your personal style.

We offer two premium wood options:

  • Western Red Cedar – elegant, aromatic, naturally long-lasting
  • Pressure-Treated Lumber – affordable, durable, and highly protective

Every fence is built on-site by our experienced team to ensure strength, stability, and exceptional craftsmanship.

Western Red Cedar — Natural, Elegant, and Long-Lasting

Pressure-Treated Fencing — Affordable, Durable, and Protective

Pressure-treated lumber is injected (not sprayed) with preservatives that protect against rot, decay, insects, and fungal damage. It’s an excellent long-term option for homeowners seeking durability on a budget.

  • Excellent value for budget-conscious projects
  • Resistant to insects and decay

Quality Construction

Built On-Site for Maximum Strength and Longevity

We don’t use prefabricated panels. Every wood fence is custom-built on your property for precise alignment, durability, and a flawless finish.

How We Build Better Wood Fences

Strong Framing

Minimum 2×4 construction to prevent sagging and ensure long-term stability.

Deep, Reinforced Footings

Concrete footings 3.5–4+ feet deep, designed to withstand Ottawa’s freeze–thaw cycles.

Premium Hardware

Heavy-duty brackets, galvanized fasteners, and reinforced gate components.

Extra Lumber for Selection Quality

We order extra boards for every job so we can select only the best pieces, ensuring consistent grain, colour, and finish.

Adapted for Any Landscape

We build fences to suit sloped or uneven yards with:

  • Step-down panels
  • Hybrid grade panels
  • Fully contoured installations

When you choose us, you’re investing in craftsmanship — not just a fence.
