Define the boundary without making it look harsh
Privacy to the level you need
Height and style are discussed around screening, outlook and the shape of the plot.
Stable line and strong posts
Careful setting out helps the fence stay straight across uneven ground.
Gates and details included
Access points, corners and adjoining features are planned into the layout.
Fencing should do more than mark the edge
A new fence can change how a garden feels as much as how it looks. Privacy, security and a clearer sense of boundary all matter, but so does choosing a style that suits the property and stands up to the conditions on site. We talk through height, wind exposure, maintenance, neighbouring boundaries and the amount of screening you want before setting anything out. Panel or board style, post material, gravel boards and surface finish all play a part in the end result. With LAJ Groundworks, fencing is planned as part of the space around it, so the line of the boundary works with patios, planting and access instead of cutting awkwardly across them.
Posts, levels and access points all need planning
We remove old fencing where needed, set out the new line, install stable posts and deal carefully with corners, gates and changes in ground level before fitting the chosen infill. Those details are what keep a fence looking straight and feeling secure once it is under weather and everyday use. We also think about nearby planting, side access and how the fence needs to meet existing hard surfaces. Jobs with LAJ Groundworks come with practical guidance on looking after posts, fixings, finishes and the vegetation that likes to lean on a boundary once it is in place.
Frequently asked questions
How do we choose the right fence style?
We start with what the fence needs to do. Privacy, maintenance, appearance, wind exposure and the character of the garden all affect the best choice. During the site visit, we can talk through panel styles, posts, gravel boards and finishes in a way that fits the boundary.
Can fencing be installed on uneven ground?
Yes, but it needs careful setting out and proper handling of the level changes. We plan the line of the fence, the post positions and how the panels or boards will step or follow the ground, so the boundary looks deliberate rather than compromised.
Can a new fence include gates and tie into patios?
Yes. Gates, patios, planting areas and side access points are exactly the kind of details that should be resolved before installation starts. We plan those connections early so the finished boundary works with the rest of the garden instead of fighting it.
