We are based in Stourport-on-Severn and work across Worcestershire. Gardens in Bromsgrove range from small plots behind older houses to larger lawns on newer estates, and each needs a slightly different approach. Send us the details and we will get back to you.
Privacy and shelter for your garden
A taller solid fence is the simplest way to stop people looking in, and it also takes the edge off the wind. For a lot of Bromsgrove gardens the question is how high is sensible and how to keep light in the space, so we talk through height, posts and a trellis top before anything is ordered.
Slatted or horizontal board screens are a good middle ground. They give cover without the heavy look of a tall solid run, and they suit a seating area or a spot beside a patio. Each board is fixed to sturdy posts so the screen stays flat and square.
Pets, children and the front garden
If the aim is to keep children and dogs safely inside, the details matter more than the height. Gaps under panels, loose boards and gate latches are where animals escape, so we fit gravel boards tight to the ground and use latches that sit out of small hands.
At the front, a picket fence gives a traditional, welcoming edge and marks the boundary without closing the house off from the street. It suits many of the older Bromsgrove properties, and we can fit a matching gate to finish it.
Working around what you already have
Most gardens already have a shed, decking, a patio or well-loved plants along the boundary. We plan the posts and panel positions around them, protect what we can and clear up carefully when we finish. Whether you are in B60 or B61, we also work in Redditch, Droitwich, Alvechurch and Catshill, so ask about your own garden.
Questions about fencing in Bromsgrove
How high can a garden fence be?
As a general rule, fences up to a set height beside a highway or at the rear can go up without planning consent, though rules differ at the front. We can talk through the height you want and suggest checking with the council if unsure.
Can you fit a fence around a shed or decking?
Yes. We plan post positions around sheds, decking and patios so the fence sits tight and square without disturbing them. Sometimes a small gap is left for access behind a shed, which we will agree with you before we start.
Will you tidy up after the work?
Yes. We clear off cuttings, old timber and packaging and leave the area as tidy as we can. If plants need to be moved or protected beforehand, we will tell you in advance so you can decide how to handle them.
