A good fence defines your garden, adds privacy, and makes outdoor time feel relaxing. We install smart, durable fencing across York – tailored to your plot, your taste, and your budget. Whether you want maximum privacy for a terraced garden in Holgate or a modern slatted look in Haxby, we’ll design a solution that looks right and stands up to York’s weather.
Styles and options
Closeboard (featheredge): The go-to for strength and privacy, ideal for windy corners or exposed plots in Rawcliffe and Poppleton.
Slatted / Venetian: Sleek, contemporary lines with light and airflow – perfect for courtyards and patio areas.
Hit-and-Miss: Alternate boards reduce wind loading while keeping a softer look.
Decorative / lattice tops: Add character without losing height or strength.
Panel upgrades: We replace tired lap panels with heavier-duty alternatives for a meaningful, long-term uplift.
Posts, gravel boards, and finishes
Choose timber or concrete posts. Timber gives a warmer look; concrete offers low-maintenance longevity. Add timber or concrete gravel boards to keep panels off the ground, reduce moisture wicking, and extend life. We can pre-treat or stain timber to complement brickwork or cladding, and we’ll advise on aftercare for a finish that stays smart.
Thoughtful design for York gardens
Boundaries in York can be quirky. We handle awkward corners, shared walls, trees near lines, and river-adjacent plots where ground can move. Neighbourly boundaries are discussed with diplomacy, and we’ll help you choose a style that keeps everyone happy while meeting your brief on privacy and budget.
The installation process
- Survey: We measure, check levels, utilities, and access.
- Specification: We confirm height, style, post type, and finish.
- Build: Careful digging and setting, true lines, consistent heights, clean cuts, and securely fixed rails and boards.
- Handover: Walk-through, aftercare tips, and waste removed.
Materials that make the difference
We source quality treated timber and reliable fixings. Where it helps, we’ll recommend heavier posts, deeper footings, or alternative styles to keep your fence steady in exposed areas.
Pricing and quotes
Every garden is different. After a quick visit we’ll give a clear written quote, fixed where possible, with options if you want to compare styles or post types. We keep lead times sensible and turn up when we say we will.
