Fence types we typically install
Most residential fencing falls into a handful of standard types.
- Standard lap panel fencing (6ft × 6ft panels, concrete or timber posts)
- Close-board (featheredge) — stronger and longer-lasting than lap panel
- Picket fencing for front gardens or lower internal divisions
- Post and rail for larger plots and paddocks
- Trellis toppers for extra height on garden boundaries
Turfing — from stump-ground ground to a real lawn
After a stump has been ground out or a tree has come down, the ground usually needs to be levelled, cleared of remaining root fragments, cultivated and topped with a shallow layer of good topsoil before turf goes down. Skipping any of those steps produces the classic 'lumpy, patchy new lawn' — worth doing right the first time.
Coordinating with tree and stump work
Where fencing or turfing follows tree work on the same site, we sequence the whole job in one continuous programme — trees down, stumps out, ground graded, fence in, turf laid. Everything sits at the correct final level and you don't pay one crew to fix what the last one left.
Domestic vs commercial fencing and grounds work
For homeowners, this is usually a one-off rebuild after tree work or storm damage. For landlords, letting agents and commercial premises, we can carry out repeat rounds of boundary and grounds maintenance on a scheduled basis, with a single point of contact for everything from a fallen limb to a re-laid front lawn.
