From a screen beside the patio to a low picket fence at the front, we fit each style carefully around the shed, borders and paving you already have. Our base is Stourport-on-Severn, and we come out to look at the garden before we agree the plan.
Back gardens that feel private
Semis in Acocks Green sit close together, and the back garden is often overlooked from several windows. A taller closeboard fence along one side, or a slatted screen near the seating area, can change how the garden feels. We talk through the sightlines with you, standing where you would sit, and mark out where the fence will make the biggest difference.
Horizontal slats suit a modern patio or decking area, while traditional closeboard fits a lawn and borders. Either way, posts go in concrete, panels are fitted level, and a gravel board protects the lower edge. The result is a fence that looks right and keeps standing.
Front gardens and kerb appeal
Front gardens on inter-war semis are usually modest in size, and a low picket fence gives them a defined edge without blocking the house. It is also a practical choice if you have small children or a dog, because it keeps them from reaching the pavement. We fit a matching gate so the whole front looks planned.
Painted or stained picket fencing can be matched to your door or windows. We keep the posts evenly spaced and the heights consistent, even if the front garden slopes slightly. A little attention to the setting out makes a plain fence look smart and keeps it straight for years.
Sheds, decking and tidy workmanship
Acocks Green gardens often hold a shed, a patio or a bit of decking right against the boundary. We plan around them, leaving access where you need it and avoiding damage to paving or planting. Trellis along the top adds height and supports climbers. When the work is done we clear away old timber and offcuts. We also work in Hall Green, Yardley, Tyseley and Olton.
Questions about fencing in Acocks Green
Can you fence around decking?
Yes. We plan the fence line so posts sit clear of the decking frame where possible, and we agree the layout with you first. That avoids damage and keeps the boards accessible for maintenance.
Is a picket fence good for a front garden?
It is a popular choice for front gardens. A picket fence marks the boundary, keeps children and pets in, and leaves the house visible. If you want more privacy at the front, we can suggest a taller option.
Can you add trellis to the top of a fence?
Often we can, as long as the fence and posts are sound enough to carry it. Trellis adds height, helps climbing plants and softens the look of a plain panel. We check the posts when we visit.
