Many homes here are family houses with proper gardens, so we think about how the space is used: where the children play, where the dog gets out, where you sit in the evening. Get in touch with what you have in mind and we will get back to you.
Privacy and shelter for the family garden
A good garden fence does two jobs: it stops people looking in, and it takes the edge off the wind. For a Kingswinford back garden we often suggest closeboard at a sensible height, with a trellis top if you want extra privacy without making the fence look heavy.
Height is something to settle early, because neighbours and the look of the street both come into it. We talk it through with you, measure the run, and make sure posts are set firmly so the fence stays straight through the winter gales.
Keeping children and pets in
A secure garden means no gaps. We check the base of each run, fit gravel boards so there is no space under the panels, and hang any gate so it closes and latches by itself. Small dogs and curious toddlers find gaps quickly, so we look for them.
If your existing fence is mostly sound, we may be able to repair or replace only the weak section and fit a new gate. We will tell you honestly where a full replacement makes more sense, and where a smaller job will do.
Screens, pickets and working round the garden
Slatted or horizontal screens look smart beside a patio, while picket fencing suits a front garden. We work around sheds, decking and mature plants, taking care not to crush borders. Kingswinford gardens vary, so we plan each job on site, and we also work in Wall Heath, Pensnett, Brierley Hill and Wordsley.
Questions about fencing in Kingswinford
Can you add trellis to the top of a fence?
Yes. Trellis can be fitted on top of closeboard or lap panels to add height and give climbers something to grow on. The posts need to be strong enough to carry the extra wind load, and we check that before fitting.
Will you work around my shed and patio?
Yes. We plan the fence line so posts do not clash with a shed, decking or patio edge. If something sits right against the boundary, tell us in advance and we will work out the neatest way to run the fence.
How do I know the fence is mine to replace?
Check your property deeds, which often show who maintains each boundary. If you are unsure, talk to your neighbour before we start. A quick conversation now avoids problems later, and we are happy to explain the options.
