Fences and gates that stay standing
A fence takes the full force of every winter storm. We set our posts deep in concrete, use pressure-treated or hardwood timber, and talk to your neighbours before we start.

Most fences fail at the posts. We set ours at least 600 mm into the ground in concrete, or use concrete posts and gravel boards where the ground stays wet. Panels and rails are pressure-treated softwood or hardwood, fixed with stainless or galvanised fixings that won't stain the timber.
We build close-board fencing for privacy and security, slatted and hit-and-miss fencing for a more contemporary look, and trellis toppers where you'd like climbers to soften the boundary. Side gates are made to match and hung on heavy-duty hinges with a lockable latch.
Before we start, we check where the boundary lies and speak to your neighbours about access. The old fence and posts are taken away as part of the job.

Raised beds and drainage for a new-build garden in Apsley
Like many new-build gardens, this one was a strip of turf over compacted clay, sloping towards the house and flooding after every heavy shower.

Who owns the fence?
Your deeds usually show which boundaries are yours. If it isn't clear, we'll help you agree it with your neighbour before work starts.
How high can a garden fence be?
Up to 2 metres without planning permission in most back gardens, or 1 metre next to a road. We'll tell you if anything on your plot needs permission.
Do you treat the timber?
All softwood is pressure-treated at the mill. We can stain or oil it in a colour of your choice for an extra charge.
Can you work around existing planting?
Yes. We protect borders and hedges along the boundary and replant anything we need to move.
