Fencing & Gates
Give your garden privacy and definition while keeping everyday access practical.
Beautiful gardens. Built to last.
The service
Choose fencing for privacy, character and access
A fence changes the feel of an outdoor space as well as its boundary. Start with the purpose: screening a seating area, defining the garden or providing a practical entrance. Think about the view from both sides and how the fence will sit beside existing planting.
Closeboard styles, panel fencing and more open timber details create different effects. Discuss the privacy you want without overlooking light, exposure and the appearance of neighbouring boundaries. The position and height need considering for the individual property; explain any shared arrangements before choosing a style.
Gate access
Measure the opening and think about the items that need to pass through it.
Existing boundaries
Confirm ownership, permissions and any shared arrangements before deciding the work.
The details
Posts, gates and changes in ground level
Panels, posts and gates work best when their practical details are considered together. Replacing panels alone may not address loose or deteriorating posts, so describe the condition of the existing boundary. Sloping ground, established shrubs and structures close to the fence can also affect the work.
For a gate, consider the clear opening, the direction it swings and the items that need to pass through. Bins, lawnmowers and garden furniture can need more room than everyday pedestrian access. If a patio or path is being changed too, plan the finished levels and gate clearance together. Ask about suitable timber care and check fittings as part of routine upkeep.
Useful answers
A few practical questions
Can I replace just one section of fencing?
Describe the section, its length and how it connects to the remaining boundary. Photographs from your own garden can help explain the condition, but a quotation should make clear whether existing posts can be retained and what removal or disposal is included.
What should I check before a fence is replaced?
Confirm the boundary arrangements and any permissions or restrictions that apply to your property before agreeing the work.
