Tipton has Black Country streets with a mix of older and newer homes, so gardens come in many shapes and levels. We look at yours first, then suggest fencing that suits the space and the way you use it.
Making a Tipton garden private and sheltered
Privacy and shelter usually come from the same thing: a solid fence of the right height. Closeboard or lap panels on concrete posts block the view from neighbouring windows and cut the wind across a patio. Trellis along the top adds height and gives climbing plants support.
We talk through height with you first, because very tall fences can cause friction with neighbours and may need permission. A fence that is slightly lower with trellis on top often gives most of the privacy and looks lighter. We set the posts firmly so the line stays straight.
Safe boundaries for children and pets
If you have children or a dog, the first job of a garden fence is to keep them in. Look along the bottom of your current fence for gaps. A gravel board closes the base, and a well-hung gate with a secure latch deals with the main way out.
On sloping or uneven ground, which is common in the Black Country, gaps tend to open up where the fence crosses a dip. We step or adjust the panels so the bottom edge follows the ground. If a dog digs along the fence, tell us and we will plan for it.
Front gardens, sheds and a tidy finish in DY4
Picket fencing gives a front garden a neat, open boundary in Tipton. At the back, we work around sheds, patios, decking and planting, and clear up the offcuts when we finish. We also work in Dudley, Wednesbury, Great Bridge and Coseley, so ask if you are nearby.
Questions about fencing in Tipton
Can you fence around a shed or decking in Tipton?
Yes. We plan the line around them, leaving enough space to reach the back of a shed if you need to. Let us know where everything sits when you get in touch so the plan fits your garden.
Is picket fencing suitable at the front?
Yes, picket fencing is a low, open style that suits a front boundary. It marks the edge of the garden and looks smart from the street. We keep the spacing even and set the posts firmly.
Do I need permission for a taller fence?
There are limits on boundary fence height before permission may be needed, and they can differ if the fence is next to a road. We talk about height with you before we start, so it works for your garden and your neighbours.
