Housing here is mainly suburban, with a front and a rear garden at most addresses, so there is plenty to get right at each property. We walk both gardens with you, note where the shed, patio or planting sits, and suggest a layout that fits how the garden is used.
A picket fence for the front garden
A front garden fence is as much about looks as boundary. A low picket fence in Aldridge keeps the front lawn defined, stops footballs and pets wandering onto the pavement, and gives the house a tidy edge. We choose picket height to suit the house, set the posts level and fit a gate at the path so it opens cleanly.
Pickets can be left natural or painted once the timber has settled, and the spacing between them is kept even so the fence looks crisp from the street. If you prefer more cover at the front, a slightly closer-boarded design can be built in the same style, so the front still looks like part of the house.
Private rear gardens for family and pets
At the back, privacy matters most. Solid panels with a trellis top give height without feeling heavy, and the trellis suits climbing plants if you want them. For dogs and small children we check the bottom edge carefully, because a gap under a panel is the first place a determined pet will try. Gravel boards close that gap.
A latch set at the right height keeps the gate secure but easy for adults to use. If your garden has decking or a patio, we leave enough clearance for the boards and for drainage, and fix the fence to posts set beside them rather than through the surface. The result is a garden that feels enclosed and calm.
Fitting around what is already there
Few Aldridge gardens are blank. There may be a shed in the corner, a greenhouse base or mature shrubs along the boundary. We measure to those features, cut panels to fit and protect the plants while we work. Everything is cleared away afterwards. Our WS9 work also takes us to Brownhills, Streetly, Walsall and Pelsall, so we are never far from Aldridge.
Questions about fencing in Aldridge
Can you do front and back fencing in one visit?
Often yes, if the two jobs are agreed together. We would measure both gardens, confirm the styles you want and plan the work so the front and rear are finished one after the other. Larger jobs may take more than one visit, and we will say so beforehand.
How do you keep my dog in the garden?
We fit gravel boards tight to the ground, check every panel for gaps and make sure the gate latches firmly. If there is a low spot where the ground dips, we fill or step the boards so there is no space to squeeze under.
Will new fencing damage my plants?
We take care. Shrubs and climbers near the line are tied back or covered while we work, and we dig post holes carefully near roots. Some plants may need trimming to fit the fence, and we will talk that through with you before we cut anything.
