We work with what is already in your garden: the shed, the patio, the borders and the washing line. Rather than a one-size answer, we talk through what you want the fence to do, then recommend a style and height that suit the space, and fit it with a tidy finish.
Privacy and shelter for smaller gardens
Gardens in West Bromwich range from narrow terrace plots to wider lawns behind newer homes, and overlooked space is a common complaint. A taller closeboard panel or a slatted screen can block sightlines from windows and neighbouring upper floors. Within the usual height limits, a solid fence also takes the edge off wind, which helps a seating area feel more comfortable.
Slatted or horizontal boarding gives a more modern look than a standard panel and works well beside a patio or decking. The gaps are small enough for privacy but let some air through. We will talk through which suits your layout, because a very tall solid fence in a small garden can feel closed in.
Working around sheds, patios and planting
Garden fences rarely run through empty ground. There may be a shed against the boundary, a patio edge, or climbers that have grown into the old fence. Before we start we walk the line with you, agree what stays and what moves, and protect plants where we can. Posts are set clear of paving where possible so slabs are not lifted.
Where a shed backs onto the fence, we can leave a working gap or fit the panels so the shed can still be reached for maintenance. Trellis tops add height without making the fence feel heavy, and give climbing plants something to hold. It is the small decisions like these that make a garden fence look planned rather than patched.
Front gardens, pets and a tidy finish
For a front garden in West Bromwich, a low picket fence marks the boundary without hiding the house, and it keeps small children and dogs from wandering onto the pavement. At the back, we check for gaps at the base so pets cannot squeeze underneath. We clear away offcuts and old timber when we finish. We also work in Oldbury, Wednesbury, Handsworth and Smethwick.
Questions about fencing in West Bromwich
What fence suits a small garden?
It depends on the space and the view you want to block. A slatted screen or a standard closeboard panel both work well in smaller gardens. We will look at the layout and suggest a height that gives privacy without making the garden feel boxed in.
Can you fit a fence around a shed or patio?
Yes. We plan the line with you first so posts avoid paving and the shed can still be reached. Where the old fence is part of a shed wall or planting, we will agree beforehand how to deal with it.
Will a fence keep my dog in?
A properly fitted fence with no gaps at the bottom and a gate that latches securely will keep most dogs in. Tell us about your dog when we visit, as a jumper or digger may need a taller panel or a gravel board.
