If you're thinking of upgrading your yard this year, there’s no better place to start than with a custom fence. In Kingston, Ontario, fences aren’t just about marking boundaries—they’re a key design feature that adds privacy, security, and serious curb appeal.
At Stone Edge Landscaping, we’ve seen first-hand how a well-built fence can completely transform a property. Whether you're in the heart of the city or tucked away in a rural lot, here are the top custom fencing trends we’re seeing across Kingston in 2025:

1. Tall Privacy Fences Are In Demand
With new Kingston by-laws permitting taller fences in residential areas, homeowners are jumping at the opportunity to gain more privacy. We’re building more 7–8 foot fences than ever before, especially for clients with pools, patios, or nosy neighbours. These taller builds aren’t just functional—they’re stylish, too.
2. Wood Still Reigns Supreme—but with a Modern Twist
Classic cedar and pressure-treated lumber remain popular, but we’re seeing a rise in horizontal slat fences, shadowbox styles, and mixed-material looks. Think natural wood paired with black aluminum accents for a clean, modern aesthetic.
3. Low-Maintenance Materials Are Taking Off
Homeowners who want the look of wood without the upkeep are leaning toward PVC and vinyl fencing. These fences stand up to Kingston’s unpredictable weather and still look fresh for years—no staining or sealing required.
4. Eco-Friendly Fencing Choices
As sustainability becomes a bigger priority, more clients are asking about recycled materials, bamboo fencing, and locally-sourced wood. Stone Edge helps you pick the best environmentally-conscious option that doesn't compromise on strength or style.
5. Custom Gates & Entryways
It’s not just about the fence anymore—custom gates with steel frames, smart locks, or decorative features are a growing request. A thoughtfully designed gate adds character and sets the tone for the entire outdoor space.

At Stone Edge Landscaping, we don’t just build fences—we craft long-lasting structures using top-quality materials and decades of masonry and landscaping expertise. Every fence we build is engineered for Kingston’s weather, installed with precision, and made to meet all local by-laws.
