The whole garden, by one team

A new fence is the fastest change you can make to a garden. Put the patio, the gate and the beds right at the same time and it stops being the bit you apologise for. One team, one start date, one clear-up.

The extra room you do not have to move house for

An office with a door you can shut. A gym that is not the spare bedroom. Most garden rooms need no planning permission at all, and we measure the boundary before we quote, because that is the rule that catches people out.

See what we build
Two fence posts in cross-section On the left, a timber post set straight into soil has rotted through at the ground line. On the right, a concrete post sits in a concrete footing with a gravel board holding the timber clear of the wet soil. ground line rots here timber post in soil concrete post gravel board concrete footing
The same fence, two ways. Timber in wet soil rots at the ground line first, and the panel goes with it.

Beautiful is easy. Lasting is the hard part.

Anyone can make a fence look good on the day it goes up. A fence is judged on the panels and fails at the posts, and a cheap quote usually means timber dropped straight into soil. Four or five winters later it snaps at the ground line and you are paying again.

  • Concrete posts

    They do not rot, and they take a panel out and back in without a fight when one gets damaged.

  • Gravel boards

    A concrete board at the bottom keeps your timber clear of the soil. That is the join that kills fences.

  • Dug deep and set in concrete

    A shallow post moves in the first real gale and never goes back. We dig for the height of the fence, not for speed.

How a job runs

  1. You call or message

    Tell us roughly what you want. Photos of the garden help a lot.

  2. We come and measure

    We look at access, levels and what is already there, then quote in writing.

  3. We book a date

    You get a day, not a vague week. Most garden fences are one or two days.

  4. We clear up

    The garden is left swept and the old fence is cleared away. That is in the price, not added on.

A panel is 1.83 metres. Your garden is not.

Stock panels come in fixed sizes. Gardens do not. That is why a panel job so often ends in a skinny cut-down bay by the house, or a gap under the fence where the ground falls away.

Two ways to fence the same garden.
 Ready-made panelsBuilt on site, board by board
Bay widthsFixed at 1.83m, so the last bay is whatever is left overEvery bay set out equal, end to end
Sloping groundSteps down the slope and leaves gaps underneathFollows the ground, or racks to the slope
HeightStock heights onlyAny height, including stepping down a boundary
Awkward shapesHard to work aroundAround a tree, a manhole, a curve, tight to a wall
Matching what is thereOnly if your panel is still madeSend a photo and we match it
Storm damageReplace the whole panelReplace the damaged boards only
Cost and speedCheaper, and quicker to put upCosts more, takes longer

Panels are not the wrong answer. On a flat, straight, standard-length boundary they are the sensible one, and we fit plenty of them. We will tell you which your garden actually needs, and we will say so when the cheaper option is the right one.

Where we work

From Farnham, Guildford and Godalming out to Cobham, Esher and Virginia Water, and across north Hampshire. If you are further out, call. We travel for the right job.

Get a price

Every garden is different, so every price is too. Send a photo and a rough idea of the job, and we will come and look for free, then give you one fixed price in writing. Nothing is added on the day.
