Yardley is full of inter-war semis and bungalows with long gardens, and a long garden means a long fence to look after. We supply and fit close-board and panel fencing, replace rotten posts and broken panels, and hang gates where you need them. Once the new fence is up, the old one is taken away, leaving the garden tidy.
Mature trees and tall conifers are common in the area, and they often lean on the boundary. We can sort the trees and the fence in one planned job. We also cover Acocks Green, Sheldon and Stechford if you live nearby.
With long gardens like those in Yardley, one failed section can sit beside several that are perfectly fine. We walk the boundary from house to end, tap the posts, and mark what is sound. That lets you replace the failing stretches and keep the rest, instead of paying to renew a whole run. It is a quick check that can save you a good deal of unnecessary work.
Where new fence is needed, we string the line first so it runs straight, then set the posts at even spacing and firmly in the ground. Panels or boards are fixed level along the top, even if the ground is uneven. Gravel boards keep the timber off the soil, which helps a long run last. Take your time choosing, and we will explain the options clearly.
Tall conifers, hedges and mature trees are part of the Yardley picture, and they tend to stand right where the fence needs to go. Roots slow the digging and heavy growth presses on old panels until they give way. We can cut back or remove them along the line before the new fence goes in. Your fence then has a clear, straight line to follow.
If you would like to keep a conifer hedge for screening, we can set the new fence a little inside it so both survive, and show you where the line would fall before any post is dug. Clearing first usually saves a second visit and keeps the finished fence neat and upright. Either way, you will know the plan before we begin work on site.
Some of Yardley, including the Old Village conservation area, has extra rules, so check height and style with the council before ordering. As with any shared boundary, agree the line with the neighbours first, since long gardens often meet several fences. We are happy to walk the boundary with you and talk through the plan. We will then build to the line you confirm.
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.

Look at the posts at ground level. Soft or broken posts mean the section needs work, while firm ones can carry new panels. We will walk the whole boundary with you and mark each stretch. It is a quick check that saves guesswork.
Yes. We can trim or remove the hedge along the line first, or set the fence slightly inside it so the hedge can stay. We show you the options and where the posts would fall before work begins.
Usually not for a standard fence, but height limits apply and conservation areas can differ. Check with the council if you want a taller fence or live in the Old Village area, and we will build to what you confirm.
