What we build

Outdoor Projects We Take On

One team for the whole yard — so the fence, deck and patio actually line up.

Fences

Cedar, horizontal and privacy fences — including shared fences coordinated with neighbours.

Decks

Wood and composite decks, stairs and railings — permits handled when required.

Patios & walkways

Interlock and large-format slab patios, walkways and steps on a proper compacted base.

Retaining walls

Stone and block walls and raised garden beds that hold grade and look clean.

Sod & planting

Grading, new sod, trees and garden beds to finish the yard.

Pergolas & trellises

Custom pergolas, trellises and privacy screens built to match your fence or deck.

How it works

Our Process

  1. Call & consultation

    A quick call at no cost, then a $199 on-site visit, credited in full toward your project. We walk the yard, measure, check grades and property lines, and talk through options and budget.

  2. Design & quote

    Materials, layout and finishes — and a clear quote before any work starts.

  3. Permits & neighbours

    We handle deck permits when required and coordinate shared-fence work with your neighbours.

  4. Build

    Most fences take just a few days; decks and patios depend on size and permits. We remove all debris when we're done.

  5. Walkthrough & warranty

    We don't call it done until you do — backed by our written 2-year workmanship warranty.

What clients say

★★★★★
"We needed to install a fence on one side, and as you may know, this involves a lot of coordination with neighbours… AJ really made the entire process go smoothly from start to finish… AJ's attention to detail really stood out as he made sure to match the staining of the fence and design of the posts with the fence on our other side."

★★★★★
"I recently had J Group Renovations complete a deck and fence project for me, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results… The project was completed in record time without sacrificing quality, and the attention to detail is evident in the final product."

"J Group recently replaced the fence in my backyard and did a very professional job. AJ & the team responded to all my questions, removed all debris and completed the project in only a few days — at a very competitive price."

★★★★★
"They were efficient, respectful, friendly and it was obvious they cared about the quality of the work down to the smallest detail… I had them back a second time to do additional fencing as well as making me a couple of trellises."

Questions

Decks, Fences & Landscaping FAQ

Do I need a permit for a deck in Toronto?

Generally, yes if the deck is more than 60 cm (about 2 ft) above the ground at any point, or attached to the house in certain cases. Rules vary by city across the GTA — we check your municipality's requirements and handle the permit when one is needed. Read our permit guide →

How long does a new fence take?

Most residential fences are built in a few days once materials arrive. Shared fences take a little longer to coordinate with neighbours — we handle that conversation for you.

Can you match my existing fence?

Yes. We match post design, board style and stain to the fence on your other sides so the yard looks like one project.

Do you clean up after the job?

Always. Old fence boards, concrete and debris are removed and hauled away before we call the job done.

When is the best time to book a deck or fence?

Spring and summer fill up fast. Booking your consultation in fall or winter gets your design, permits and materials ready so we can build as soon as the ground allows.

Where do you work?

Toronto, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Markham, North York, Etobicoke and across the GTA. See all areas we serve →
