We are based in Stourport-on-Severn and cover B8 across east Birmingham. Tell us what you want from the garden, such as somewhere private to sit or a safe place for the children, and we will get back to you to arrange a visit.
Making a compact garden feel private
With terraces and semis, neighbours are close and upstairs windows often look straight into the garden. A closeboard fence at a sensible height blocks the sightline from the ground floor, and a trellis panel on top adds extra height without making the boundary feel like a wall.
In a narrow plot a lighter touch can work better. Slatted or horizontal screens around a seating spot give privacy where you need it and leave the rest of the boundary more open, so the garden does not feel smaller than it is.
Safe for children and pets
Small gardens are often used heavily by children and pets, so the fence needs to be dependable. Panels fitted down to a gravel board, with no gaps at the bottom, stop little ones and dogs squeezing out. Posts are concreted in firmly so they do not lean when a ball hits them.
A gate gets used constantly, so we fit it with a latch positioned for adults, and set the gate posts solidly so the gate does not drop over time. If you want the gate to open a particular way, say so and we will plan for it.
Tidy finish around plants and patios
Even a tiny Ward End garden usually has a patio, a shed or some planting that matters to you. We plan the fence line around those, take care with borders and leave the area clear when we finish. Ask about a picket fence if you have a small front garden to tidy up. We also work in Washwood Heath, Alum Rock, Stechford and Saltley.
Questions about fencing in Ward End
What height can the fence be?
Standard garden fencing is usually around the height of a closeboard panel, and trellis can be added on top for more. Rules on height can apply, especially facing a road, so tell us where the fence is going and we will talk it through with you.
Can you fit slatted fencing in a small garden?
Yes. Slatted or horizontal screens suit small gardens well because they give privacy in one spot without a solid look all round. We fit them between posts and agree the spacing and height with you first so you know what to expect.
Do you fit picket fencing at the front?
Yes. Picket fencing suits a front garden, marking the boundary while still showing off the house. We can fit a matching gate. Tell us how long the frontage is and whether you want the pickets low or a little taller.
