Gardens in Aldridge tend to be bigger than average, with detached houses set back on generous plots, so a fence here is often a long and important boundary. We fit new close-board and panel fencing, replace worn posts and panels, build gates, and take the old fence away so you are left with a clean line around the garden.
Many properties here back onto open land or field-edge hedging, where wind and weather are tougher on timber. That shapes how we build. If you want a fence that suits your plot, we can talk it through. We also work in Streetly and Great Barr.
On the northern edge of the West Midlands, fences take more wind than they do in a sheltered terrace. In Aldridge, we pay extra attention to the posts, because they carry the whole structure. They go in deep and are set firmly, so a long run of close-board does not start leaning after the first autumn gale, and gravel boards keep the bottom edge clear of damp soil.
Close-board is a popular choice for larger Aldridge gardens because the overlapping boards are strong and give real privacy. Panel fencing suits shorter runs or areas where you want a quicker, simpler job. We will explain the difference on site and help you pick what fits each boundary, rather than pushing one option across the whole garden. Often a mix of both is the sensible answer.
A bigger garden often means more to protect. Many of our Aldridge customers want a fence that keeps the garden private from the road or a neighbouring drive, and one that is hard to climb over. A solid, well-fixed boundary does both jobs, and a gate with proper hinges and a secure latch finishes the line neatly at the front or the side of the house.
We can fit side gates and wider gates for vehicle or garden machinery access, sized to the opening you have. If the gate swings across sloping or uneven ground, we hang it so it clears the surface and closes cleanly. It is worth thinking about gates early, because moving a post later is far more work than placing it correctly first time.
Aldridge has plenty of mature trees and long hedges, and they often grow right where a new fence needs to sit. We can trim or take out the hedge along the boundary first, so the fence is built on clear ground. Check height limits with the council before going tall, and agree the boundary line with your neighbours so everyone is happy with the result.

For long, exposed runs we usually suggest close-board with solid posts and gravel boards, because it is strong and gives good privacy. Panels work well for shorter sections or where you want a simpler job. We look at the plot and advise honestly.
Yes, we can fit wide gates sized to your opening, with heavy posts to carry the weight. We will measure on site and make sure the gate swings clear of the ground and closes properly. Tell us what needs to pass through when you get in touch.
It is sensible to. There are limits on how tall a fence can be, especially next to a road, and the rules can vary by property. We can talk you through the usual heights, but a quick check with the council gives you a firm answer.
