Case Study
​
When a homeowner near Southwood, a vibrant and growing community within Cambridge, wanted to transform their yard into an inviting yet private retreat, Cambridge Fence delivered with a custom-designed pressure-treated cedar fence. With Cambridge’s population soaring to an estimated 145,730 residents in 2024, up over 8,800 since 2016—a steady annual growth rate around 1.28% —backyards are being redesigned to serve as more functional living spaces. Our team crafted a creative fence featuring alternating board orientations, cap-and-trim accents, and integrated flower-box details. We used premium pressure-treated wood with galvanized fasteners and concrete footings for long-lasting performance in Southern Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles, blending curb appeal with durability.

The result was more than just a fence—it became a beautiful privacy screen that elevated the outdoor living experience. The homeowner now enjoys a secluded space for family gatherings while adding significant value to their property in a city where the average home sells for approximately $640,750, well below the provincial average but still demanding superior quality. Featuring our innovative design details and reliable construction, the fence has earned compliments from neighbors and stands as a testament to Cambridge Fence’s commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and client satisfaction.
