We needed a fence in our backyard to give us some privacy and ended up calling Harbord Valley. Josh suggested we do cedar because its environmentally friendly (pressure treated wood leaches chemicals into the ground) and we were concerned about our vegetable garden becoming contaminated by the PT wood. We also really enjoyed the smell of the fence for the first couple of years, but unfortunately that goes away with age. The fence is still holding up well after 3 yrs and lots of snow piled up against it.
The only regret we have is NOT fully listening to Josh on the fence design. He suggested a modern horizontal look but we played it safe with a more conservative style. Now after seeing his other cool fence designs, I wish we had gone with one of his interesting 'outside of the box' design ideas.
Overall, Harbord Valley was very reasonable in price and were also super quick once the job started. Josh was very knowledgeable and a friendly guy as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their work to any of my friends or family.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Yes that great cedar smell goes away after a while. If you want we could change the boards to a horizontal style sometime down the road using the existing structure. It wouldn't cost too much and give you something more modern.
