Garden fencing in Acocks Green usually means a long back garden behind an inter-war semi or terrace, with a boundary that has had a hard time. We supply and fit close-board and panel fencing, replace rotten posts and broken panels, and hang gates where you need them. The old fence is taken away once the new one is up.
Plenty of gardens off the Warwick Road corridor have tall hedges or old conifers leaning on the fence line. If that sounds familiar, we can sort the hedge and the fence together so you are not paying for two separate visits. We also cover Hall Green and Yardley.
The sizeable back gardens in Acocks Green mean a lot of fence to look after, and a run that long rarely fails all at once. Often it is a handful of posts that have rotted at ground level while the panels between them still look reasonable. We walk the whole boundary with you and mark what needs replacing, rather than suggesting a full renewal when part of it is sound.
Where a long run is being replaced, we set the line out with string first so the new fence runs straight from the house to the end of the garden. Posts go in at even spacing, set firmly, and the panels or boards are hung level along the top even if the ground underneath dips. That makes a big difference over a garden this deep.
Tall hedges and mature conifers are common in Acocks Green, and they often sit right on the boundary where the new fence needs to go. Roots can make digging post holes slow, and heavy growth pressing on old panels is a common reason they fail. We can cut back or remove the hedge or trees along the line before the fence goes in.
Doing it in that order saves trouble later. The fence is built on cleared ground, the posts are not fighting roots, and there is no hedge growing through the new panels next summer. If you would rather keep a hedge, we can set the fence a little inside it so both can stay, and we will show you where the line would fall before any posts go in.
Before we start on any Acocks Green fence, it is worth having a quick word with the neighbours about who owns which side and where the line sits. Many terraces and semis share a boundary, and a short chat now avoids awkward moments later. We can talk through the usual height limits too, and it is sensible to check with the council if you plan anything tall.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.

Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

Yes. If the posts are still solid, we can swap individual panels and leave the rest alone. If several posts have rotted at the base, we will tell you honestly that replacing those posts is the better route, because new panels on weak posts will not last.
Yes. Removing the old panels and posts is part of the job, and we clear the waste away when we finish. If the old fence is tied into a hedge or conifers, we can deal with those at the same visit if you ask us to.
Usually yes. A gravel board keeps the bottom of the panels off the soil, which is where most fences start to rot. On a long garden with damp or uneven ground they are well worth fitting, and they are easy to replace later without touching the panels.
