Because many Redditch homes date from the sixties onward, gardens tend to be a similar size and shape along a street, yet each family uses theirs differently. We talk through what you want from the space first, then suggest the style, height and gates that suit it.
Slatted screens and trellis for privacy
A horizontal slatted screen is a good answer if you want privacy with a modern feel. Boards run side to side with narrow gaps and give a smooth, even look along the garden. They suit a seating corner, a patio edge or the stretch of fence that faces a window next door.
If you prefer a traditional look, solid panels with a trellis top give extra height without blocking light entirely. Climbers such as clematis or honeysuckle grow well on trellis in Redditch gardens, and the lattice softens the line of the fence. We fix the trellis securely to the posts so it holds in wind.
Shelter, safety and pets
An open garden catches the wind, and a solid fence on the windward side makes the lawn and patio much more pleasant to sit out on. Taller panels give shelter but also take more strain in a gale, so we use sound posts, set them deep in concrete and check each one for level before the panels go on.
Where children play or dogs run, we look at the bottom edge and the gate. Gravel boards sit tight to the soil so nothing slips underneath, and the latch is fitted at a height that works for adults. Redditch gardens that back onto footpaths or open ground may benefit from an extra bit of height.
Neat work around sheds and decking
Garden fences rarely run in an unbroken line. Sheds, decking and compost bins all push close to the boundary. We measure to the actual layout, cut panels to fit and leave enough room to open doors and maintain the timber. Waste is removed when we finish. We cover B97 and B98, and we also work in Bromsgrove, Alcester, Studley and Astwood Bank.
Questions about fencing in Redditch
Can I have a slatted fence with a gate to match?
Yes. A gate can be built in the same slatted style so it blends into the fence line. We use sturdy posts and strong hinges, because slatted gates are heavier than they look, and finish with a latch that suits the design.
Will a tall fence affect light in my garden?
It can, particularly on the sunny side. A solid panel blocks light more than a slatted screen or trellis top. We can talk through where the sun falls in your garden and suggest a mix, such as solid panels low down and trellis above.
Do you tidy up after the fencing is finished?
Yes. We clear off cut ends, old fixings and any waste, sweep paving and leave the garden as we found it, or better. Old fence panels are taken away if we have replaced them, so you do not have a heap to deal with.
