Professional Garden Fencing Installation

Thames Paving & Landscapes provides professional fencing installation for gardens, homes and commercial outdoor spaces. Our team installs strong, attractive fencing that helps define boundaries, improve privacy and protect your property.

Garden fencing serves both a practical and visual purpose. For example, it can screen neighbouring properties, create a secure area for children or pets and provide a clean backdrop for planting and landscaping.

Whether you need to replace damaged panels, install a complete boundary fence or add a matching garden gate, we can help. We will assess the site, discuss suitable materials and recommend a design that works with your property.

Fencing Designed Around Your Property

Every garden and boundary has different requirements. Therefore, we tailor each fencing installation around the layout, ground conditions and level of privacy you need.

Our team can help you choose suitable panels, posts, gravel boards and finishing details. In addition, we can design the fence to complement existing paving, decking, walls and landscaping.

Our fencing services can include:

  • Garden boundary fencing
  • Privacy fencing and screening
  • Traditional timber fence panels
  • Closeboard and feather edge fencing
  • Decorative fencing and trellis panels
  • Concrete or timber fence posts
  • Concrete or timber gravel boards
  • Garden gates and access points
  • Fence repairs and panel replacement

Timber Garden Fencing

Timber fencing remains a popular choice because it offers a natural appearance and suits many garden styles. Furthermore, homeowners can choose from several panel designs, heights and finishes.

Traditional timber panels can create a simple and cost-effective boundary. Alternatively, closeboard fencing provides a stronger, more substantial finish that works well for exposed gardens and high-use areas.

Timber will require some ongoing care to protect it from moisture and weathering. However, suitable treatment and regular maintenance can help extend the life of the fence.

Closeboard and Feather Edge Fencing

Closeboard fencing uses overlapping vertical boards fixed to horizontal rails. As a result, it creates a solid and private boundary with a traditional appearance.

This type of fencing can suit gardens where strength and privacy remain key priorities. In addition, installers can build it to different heights and adapt it around changes in ground level.

Concrete posts and gravel boards can provide extra durability, while timber components create a softer and more natural finish. Our team can explain which combination will best suit the site.

Decorative Fencing and Garden Screening

Decorative panels can add character while still defining the boundary of your garden. For instance, slatted panels, lattice sections and trellis tops can create a lighter and more open appearance.

Garden screening also works well around patios, seating areas, bins, sheds and other features. Moreover, it can improve privacy without making the whole garden feel enclosed.

We can help you combine practical fencing with decorative elements that complement the rest of your outdoor space.

Garden Gates and Matching Access

A well-fitted garden gate provides safe and convenient access through your boundary. Therefore, it should match both the design and strength of the surrounding fence.

We can install pedestrian gates for side paths, rear gardens and enclosed outdoor areas. Where appropriate, we can also fit suitable hinges, latches and locking hardware.

Matching materials and consistent heights help create a neat, complete finish across the entire boundary.

Benefits of New Garden Fencing

Improved Privacy

Solid fence panels can help screen your garden from neighbouring properties and public areas. Consequently, you can enjoy a more private and comfortable outdoor space.

Clear Property Boundaries

Fencing helps define the edge of a garden or outdoor area. In addition, a clear boundary can improve the overall layout and appearance of the property.

Better Security

A strong fence and secure gate can restrict access to your garden. Although fencing cannot guarantee security, it can provide a useful physical barrier and deterrent.

Safer Outdoor Areas

Enclosed fencing can create a safer space for children and pets. However, the design, height and gate hardware should suit the intended use.

Improved Garden Appearance

New fencing can replace worn or mismatched boundaries with a cleaner and more consistent finish. Furthermore, it can provide an attractive backdrop for lawns, paving and planting.

Our Fencing Installation Process

A reliable fence needs accurate planning, secure posts and careful installation. For this reason, we assess the boundary and ground conditions before starting work.

Site Survey and Planning

First, we inspect the proposed fence line and discuss your preferred height, material and design. We also consider access, slopes, existing structures and nearby planting.

During this stage, you should confirm the correct legal boundary before installation begins. We can work to the line you identify, but we cannot determine property ownership or settle boundary disputes.

Removing Existing Fencing

Where required, our team can remove old panels, posts and damaged fencing materials. We will then clear the working area and prepare it for the new installation.

Next, we mark the fence line and establish the position of each post. Accurate spacing helps create a straight, stable and consistent result.

Installing Fence Posts

Strong posts form the foundation of a reliable fence. Therefore, we install them securely and check the height, alignment and spacing before fitting the panels.

Depending on the project, we may use timber or concrete posts. Concrete posts often provide greater resistance to rot, while timber posts create a more traditional appearance.

Fitting Panels and Gravel Boards

Once the posts are secure, we install the selected panels or fencing boards. We also fit gravel boards where the design includes them.

Gravel boards raise timber panels away from direct contact with the ground. As a result, they can help reduce moisture exposure and protect the lower edge of the fence.

Gates and Final Checks

Finally, we fit any gates, latches, caps or decorative features included in the quotation. We then inspect the complete fence and check the alignment, stability and finish.

Before leaving, our team clears the surrounding area and removes installation waste included within the agreed work.

Fence Repairs and Panel Replacement

Strong winds, moisture and general wear can damage fence panels, posts and fixings. However, complete replacement may not always be necessary.

Our team can inspect the existing fence and identify the damaged areas. Depending on its condition, we may replace individual panels, posts, gravel boards or sections of closeboard fencing.

In some cases, repairing a small section can restore the boundary at a lower cost. Nevertheless, widespread rot or unstable posts may make full replacement a better long-term option.

Concrete Posts and Gravel Boards

Concrete fence posts provide a strong and durable support system. Because they do not rot like untreated timber, they can suit exposed boundaries and gardens that experience persistent moisture.

Concrete gravel boards also protect timber panels from direct ground contact. In addition, installers can often slide replacement panels between slotted concrete posts more easily in the future.

Although concrete components provide practical benefits, some homeowners prefer the appearance of timber. Therefore, we can discuss the advantages of both options before you make a decision.

Maintaining Your Garden Fence

Maintenance requirements will depend on the fencing material. Regular checks can help you spot loose boards, damaged fixings or signs of rot before the problem becomes more serious.

Timber Fence Maintenance

Timber fencing may need periodic staining, painting or preservative treatment. Furthermore, clearing soil and vegetation away from the base can help reduce moisture exposure.

Concrete Post Maintenance

Concrete posts generally require little routine maintenance. Nevertheless, you should check for movement, cracks or damage after severe weather or accidental impact.

Gate Maintenance

Hinges, latches and locks may need occasional adjustment or lubrication. In addition, prompt repairs will prevent a loose gate from placing extra strain on the posts.
