Castle Bromwich is full of inter-war and later family homes with big back gardens, and the fence is often what keeps children and pets safely in. We supply and fit close-board and panel fencing, replace posts and panels that have given up, and hang gates that close and latch properly. The old fence is removed when we finish.
Plenty of gardens here also have mature conifers and tall hedges that have grown into the boundary over time. If yours is one of them, we can deal with the planting and the fence together. We also cover Water Orton and Erdington.
A garden fence in a family home has a clear job: it has to stay shut. In Castle Bromwich we look for gaps at the bottom, loose boards, leaning posts and gates that do not catch, because those are the weak points a dog or a toddler will find first. A tight, level run of fence with gravel boards closes the lowest gaps, and we check every one of those points before we leave.
Gates deserve as much attention as the panels. We fit them with sturdy hinges and a latch that can be set high enough to be out of small hands, which matters in a busy family garden. If your gate sags or drags on the ground, replacing the post it hangs from often fixes the problem for good, rather than just rehanging the same worn gate again.
The larger plots around Castle Bromwich mean a lot of boundary, and the cost of getting it wrong is simply more fence to redo. We check the whole length before quoting, noting which posts are rotten and which panels can stay. Often a long fence has weak sections beside gates or at corners, and fixing those first extends the life of everything else in Castle Bromwich gardens like yours.
For a full replacement, close-board is a strong choice on a long run because the boards overlap and the structure stays rigid. Panel fencing suits shorter sections and gives a quicker finish. Many gardens end up with a mixture: close-board on the main boundary where privacy matters and panels between neighbours who share the cost, so the finish can be matched along both sides.
Mature conifers are common in Castle Bromwich gardens, and a fence built hard against them rarely lasts. Dense growth traps damp and pushes on the boards. We can trim the conifers back or take them out along the line before building. Agree the boundary with your neighbours first, and check height limits with the council if you plan to go tall.

Check for gaps at the bottom, loose boards and gates that do not latch. Gravel boards close the lowest gap, and a tight close-board fence stops a dog seeing through to the street or next door. We can survey the boundary and fix every weak point in one visit.
Yes. Taking the conifers out first lets us set new posts on clear ground without fighting roots or branches. Doing both jobs together usually saves time and means the fence is built straight along a clean line, with all the waste cleared away in one go.
That is for you and your neighbours to agree. Many people do split it when a fence serves both gardens, but it depends on who owns the boundary. A friendly conversation before work starts is the simplest way to avoid disagreements.
