Gardens in the town range from compact plots on newer estates to longer gardens behind older residential streets. That changes what makes sense: a taller screen where you are overlooked, a lower picket at the front, or a secure run for a dog. Tell us what you want the garden to do and we will get back to you.
Privacy and shelter for Droitwich gardens
If you are overlooked from a neighbouring window or an upstairs room, height and solid boards are what give you privacy. Closeboard or well-fitted lap panels block the view and take the edge off the wind. A trellis top adds extra height without making the fence feel like a wall, and it gives climbers something to hold on to.
Taller fences catch more wind, so post depth and spacing matter more than people expect. We set concrete posts firmly and fit gravel boards so the base stays dry. In Droitwich, where plenty of gardens are open to the weather at the back, a solidly built screen is what keeps the seating area calm and private.
Slatted screens, pickets and keeping children and pets in
Horizontal slatted screens give a modern look and work well behind a patio or along a decking edge. Picket fencing suits a front garden, where the aim is a neat, welcoming boundary rather than privacy. Each style needs different post spacing and a different finish, so we agree the look with you before ordering anything.
For families with young children or a dog that digs, gaps are the enemy. We check the bottom edge for space, fit gravel boards where the ground allows, and hang gates on sturdy hinges with a latch that sits above small hands. A Droitwich garden that is properly closed in is far less stressful to use.
Working around sheds, patios and plants
Gardens are rarely empty, so we plan around what is already there. A shed against the boundary, a patio edge, a decked area or a mature border can all affect where posts go. We protect plants where we can, tidy up as we finish and take the waste away. We also work in Bromsgrove, Worcester, Hartlebury and Ombersley.
Questions about fencing in Droitwich
Can you fit a fence around my shed and patio?
Usually, yes. We look at how close the shed sits to the line and where the patio edge falls, then set posts to suit. Sometimes a panel is cut or a post is moved slightly. We would rather talk it through at a visit than guess from a description.
What suits a front garden in Droitwich?
Picket fencing is a popular choice because it is low, neat and keeps the front open. Lap panels or closeboard at the front can feel heavy. It depends on the house, so send a photo of the frontage and we will suggest what would sit well.
Will my garden be left tidy?
Yes. We remove the old fence and offcuts, sweep up where we have worked, and take the waste with us. If plants or borders are close to the line, we work carefully around them. Let us know before we start about anything you want protected.
