What it costs in North Vancouver
$6,000 – $25,000 typical range.
- $8,000 – $11,000 — 50–70 linear feet of 6-ft cedar privacy. Rocky soil drives slower post-hole drilling.
- $11,000 – $17,000 — 120–180 linear feet around a North Shore lot.
- $17,000 – $25,000 — Composite or aluminum, custom gate, integrated lighting. Common in Edgemont and upper Lonsdale homes.
- + $2,000 – $5,000 — Lynn Valley, Capilano, and Deep Cove lots often hit rock — extra drilling time and engineered post hardware needed for slopes.

North Vancouver permits
How we handle the paperwork.
Both the District and City of North Vancouver require permits for fences over 6 ft tall and front-yard over 4 ft tall. We file with whichever has jurisdiction.
Material choices
Options that work in North Vancouver.
Composite is the strongest choice for the North Shore — wet climate stresses cedar faster than inland. Cedar still works if sealed annually. Aluminum for modern looks and corrosion resistance.

Common questions
FAQ.
What does a fence cost in North Vancouver?
$8,000 to $25,000. North Shore costs run higher than inland because of rocky soil and slope-related labor.
Why is rocky soil more expensive?
North Shore neighborhoods (Lynn Valley, Capilano, Deep Cove) sit on rock or rocky soil. Post holes that take 15 minutes elsewhere can take an hour here. Quoted upfront once we see the site.
City or District permit?
Whichever has jurisdiction over your address. We file.
How long?
One to three weeks. Rocky lots take longer.
North Van neighborhoods?
Lonsdale, Lynn Valley, Edgemont, Deep Cove, Capilano, Norgate, Boulevard.
