Walsall covers a wide mix of homes, from older terraces to inter-war semis and later estates, and the fences around them are just as varied. We supply and fit new close-board and panel fencing, replace rotten posts and broken panels, and hang gates. When the new fence is up we take the old one away, leaving the garden tidy.
Plenty of Walsall gardens have mature trees close to the boundary, which can push on a fence or shade it into rot. We can look at both together and suggest a plan. We also cover Bloxwich, Aldridge and Pelsall.
A fence should suit the house and the way you use the garden. On an inter-war semi in Walsall, a run of panel fencing is a sensible, neat answer along the side and back, while close-board gives more privacy where a garden is overlooked. We talk through the choices and show how each would sit along your boundary. That way you choose with the facts in front of you.
Posts matter more than the panels. We dig them in deep, set them firmly and keep them plumb at even spacing, so the line stays straight and the fence stands up in wind. Gravel boards go along the bottom so the timber stays clear of the soil, which is where most fences begin to rot. It is a simple detail, but it adds a lot of life to the timber.
Mature trees are a feature of many gardens in Walsall, and their roots and branches have a habit of working on a boundary fence. Roots make post holes slow, branches rub the panels, and shade keeps the timber damp. If a tree is on your side and causing trouble, we can prune it or take it down before fencing. Pruning first often solves the problem for good.
If you want to keep the tree, we can usually work around it, moving a post a little or trimming back the growth that touches the panels. We would rather show you the options on the day and agree them, so you know where the posts will go and how the fence will meet the trunk or roots. Nothing is started until you are happy with it.
Many Walsall homes share a boundary with the house next door, so it pays to talk before you replace a fence. Agree who owns which side, where the line runs and what height you both want. Ask the council about height limits if you plan to go taller. We are happy to walk the boundary with you. It keeps the job friendly from start to finish.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

Yes, though it is worth speaking to your neighbour first about the line and who owns the fence. We can walk the boundary with you and mark what needs doing, then replace the panels and posts and clear the old fence away.
Panel fencing is quicker to fit and works well along longer runs. Close-board is sturdier and gives a more solid screen, which suits gardens that are overlooked. We can look at your boundary and tell you which we would choose.
Yes. We can cut back or remove a hedge along the boundary before building the fence, so the posts go into clear ground and nothing grows through the new panels. It is usually neater and saves a second visit.
