Fencing in Leicester
Closeboard, featheredge, slatted and hit-and-miss fencing, set in concrete and finished to last.
Overview
What's involved
Most fence calls are one of two jobs: replacing a tired run the wind has finished off, or a new boundary to tie in with the rest of the garden. I dig the post holes deep, concrete them in, and use treated UK softwood with end-grain protectors so the panels do not wick water from the top down.
Picket runs, decorative slatted panels and acoustic fencing near busy roads (a regular ask in Hinckley and Lutterworth) all on the same crew.
What you get
- Concrete-set posts, no spike trips
- Decorative slatted and acoustic builds
- Boundary advice and neighbour liaison
Fencing: common questions
Practical answers tied to how we quote and deliver this kind of job. Browse the wider landscaping FAQs if you're after general planning & pricing questions.
What type of fencing is best for privacy?
The best fencing for privacy is usually solid panel fencing, closeboard fencing or another design with minimal gaps. The right choice depends on the garden, budget, exposure to wind and the look you want. Height, post quality and installation are just as important as the panel style.
Can fencing be included in a garden makeover?
Yes, fencing is often included as part of a garden makeover. New fencing can improve privacy, security and the overall look of the garden. It also helps frame the space, which can make patios, lawns, planting and other landscaping features feel more finished.
When should garden fencing be replaced?
Garden fencing may need replacing when posts are rotten, panels are damaged, the fence is leaning, repairs are no longer worthwhile or the style no longer suits the garden. Replacing fencing during a wider landscaping project can also make sense because it allows the boundaries and layout to be planned together.
Do you remove old fencing?
Old fencing can usually be removed as part of a fencing or landscaping project. This should be discussed during the quote so removal, disposal, access and any replacement requirements are clearly included. It is always better to agree this before work begins.
What should I consider before installing new fencing?
Before installing new fencing, consider privacy, boundary lines, height, style, wind exposure, access, gates, materials and how the fence will look with the rest of the garden. Good posts and proper installation are important because they help the fence stay secure over time.
Can fencing improve the look of a garden?
Yes, fencing can make a big difference to the look of a garden. It frames the space, improves privacy and creates a cleaner backdrop for patios, lawns, planting and garden features. Tired or mismatched fencing can make even a well-designed garden feel unfinished.
