If you’re planning a new backyard fence in Niagara, the first question is always the same: how much will it cost? This guide explains how fence pricing works in Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Welland and Thorold, what pushes the price up or down, and how to get a number you can trust.

The Short Answer

At Urban Fence and Deck, pressure-treated wood fences start from $55 per linear foot installed. That price includes materials, posts set below the frost line, labour and clean-up. Your final total depends on the length of the fence, its height and style, the number of gates and the conditions on site.

A quick way to estimate: measure the fence line in feet and multiply by the starting price. A 100 ft backyard run starts from about $5,500 before gates and extras. For an exact number, we measure on site and send an itemized quote.

What Changes the Price of a Fence

Length

Fences are priced per linear foot, so length is the biggest factor. Corners and short sections add posts, which can raise the price per foot on small jobs.

Height and style

A taller fence needs more material. Styles also differ: a basic privacy fence uses fewer boards than a shadow-box or board-on-board fence, and a lattice top adds both height and work.

Gates

Every gate needs its own frame, hardware and often a header beam. Double gates for trailers or equipment cost more than a single walk gate.

Material

Pressure-treated wood is the most budget-friendly option. Composite costs more up front but needs no staining and won’t rot — see our wood vs composite guide.

Site conditions

Slopes, tree roots, old concrete footings and tight side yards all take more time. We’ll point these out during the visit so there are no surprises later.

Old Fence Removal and Other Extras

If there’s an old fence on the line, ask us to include its removal in the quote. Other common extras are stepping the fence on a slope, matching a neighbour’s style, or adding decorative inserts to a gate — like the double gate we built in St. Catharines.

How to Get an Accurate Quote

  • Know your property line. A survey or the original lot plan helps us set the fence in the right place.
  • Talk to your neighbour if the fence will be shared.
  • Get an itemized price. Length, height, gates and extras should all be listed. The price you sign should be the price you pay.

Why We Don’t Take a Deposit

Many fence companies ask for a deposit before they order materials. We don’t. You pay once the fence is finished and you’re happy with it — and every fence comes with our 5-year workmanship warranty.
