We Work With
Closeboard Fencing
The most common and practical garden fence type. Closeboard panels are strong, durable, and provide a good level of privacy. Posts are set in concrete and boards fixed to arris rails for a solid, long-lasting result.
Featheredge Panels
Individual featheredge boards fixed to a frame offer a clean, traditional look with good strength. Suitable for boundary fences where both sides need to present well.
Trellis
Often used to top fencing panels or as a standalone structure for climbing plants. Trellis adds height and a decorative element without making a boundary feel oppressive.
Post and Rail
A simple, open fence style well suited to rural and semi-rural properties across Dorset. Available in two or three rail configurations and often combined with stock wire for additional security.

Our Fencing Installation Process
Free Consultation
We visit your property, walk the boundary or area to be fenced, and discuss the style, height, and any specific requirements. No obligation, no pressure.
Design and Quote
We confirm the post positions, panel or board style, and any groundwork requirements, then provide a clear written quote.
Installation
Posts are set in concrete at the correct centres for the panel or board type being used — typically every 1.8m for standard closeboard. We check for underground services before digging and set posts to a consistent line and height throughout. Panels or boards are fixed level, with any gates hung and adjusted on site to swing and latch correctly.
Sign-Off
We walk the completed fence line with you before leaving site. Any adjustments are made before the job is signed off.
“We don’t consider a job complete until you’re 100% satisfied.”

A fence is only as strong as its posts. We set every post in concrete to the correct depth — the single biggest factor in how long a fence stands before it starts to lean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fencing costs depend on the length of the run, the style chosen, and the ground conditions — rocky or sloped ground can add to the cost of post installation. We provide a full written quote after measuring up on site.
A typical garden fence replacement takes one to two days. Longer runs or more complex projects may take slightly longer. We confirm the expected duration when we quote.
In most cases, no. Fences up to 2m high on a boundary do not require planning permission. Fences adjacent to a highway are limited to 1m without permission. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, different rules may apply.
Boundary responsibility is determined by the title deeds of your property, usually indicated by a ‘T’ mark on the plan. We can advise on what to look for, but the deeds are the definitive reference.
A properly installed pressure-treated timber fence will typically last 15 to 25 years. The posts tend to be the first component to fail — setting them correctly in concrete from the outset is the most effective way to extend the life of the fence.
