Oakville is our home turf. Comfort Group’s Canadian head office is in Oakville, and a disproportionate share of our early projects were built within a 10 km radius of it. We know the Town’s rules by heart because we’ve filed the paperwork ourselves, repeatedly.
The key document is Zoning By-law 2014-014, which caps rear and side-yard fence heights at 2 m (6.56 ft) and front-yard heights at 1.2 m. If you have an in-ground pool, your fence design must meet picket-spacing and self-closing-gate requirements; we handle the permit application as part of our scope.
Oakville neighbourhoods each carry design signals. Old Oakville favours traditional cedar picket, often stained. Glen Abbey and River Oaks — 80s and 90s subdivisions — have moved toward horizontal cedar in renovations. Joshua Creek and newer Bronte Creek developments are horizontal-fence heartland.
Oakville soil leans clay across most of the Town, with more variable drainage south of Lakeshore. Conservation Halton jurisdiction applies if your property touches any watercourse — we check the mapping tool before quoting.
