Fencing in Preston
Fencing across Preston, from the older streets near the Speed to the newer builds on the north side.
Preston has the same split as the rest of Cambridge but compressed into a smaller area. The older streets carry mature trees, tight lots, and the buried surprises that come with ground that has had buildings on it for a very long time — stone, old footings, rubble where a post is meant to go. North and east of there the newer development behaves like any subdivision: graded clay, thin topsoil, drainage swales between properties that a solid-bottomed fence should not dam. The Speed River runs through, so a number of properties sit close enough to a regulated area that the Grand River Conservation Authority may need to give permission before a structure goes in — checking the property on GRCA's mapping first is worth the ten minutes. Preston is part of the City of Cambridge, so By-law 92-05 applies: 2.1 metres behind the building line, 0.9 in front, 0.75 inside a daylighting triangle.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Preston, Hespeler and Blair?
Yes — all are part of the City of Cambridge and covered on the same terms, with the same By-law 92-05 heights. Ayr and Branchton are in North Dumfries Township, which has its own fence by-law, and we check the applicable one against the address.
Do the Cambridge heights apply in Ayr?
No. Ayr is in North Dumfries Township, not the City of Cambridge, so the township's fence by-law governs and the 2.1 metre figure quoted on this site is Cambridge's. It gets confirmed for the specific property before a height goes into a quote.
