Sedgley is in the Dudley borough and sits on higher, hilly ground, so plenty of gardens here are on a slope. Fencing a sloping garden takes more thought than a flat one. The ground falls away along the boundary, and panels that are simply set level can leave gaps underneath or stand proud at one end.
Fencing on sloping ground
On a sloping boundary we either step the panels down in stages or follow the fall of the ground, depending on the look you want and how steep the slope is. Gravel boards help here too, because they close the gap at the base where the ground drops away. We agree the approach with you before the first post goes in.
Replacing an old boundary
Old Sedgley fences often show the same problems: panels that have slipped, posts leaning downhill and gaps at the bottom. If the posts are sound we may be able to repair the run, and if they are not, a new fence on concrete posts is the lasting fix. See our garden fencing installers page for the styles we fit.
What every job includes
- Measuring the boundary and agreeing the style and height
- Taking out the old fence and clearing it away
- Concrete posts and gravel boards under every run
- Gates hung on solid posts to match
