New-build estates present their own set of fencing challenges, including uniform boundaries, limited access points, shared alleyways, and specific developer guidelines. We regularly carry out installations on new-build properties in York and understand the practicalities involved.

One of the first steps is confirming boundary positions. New-build properties often come with clear site plans, but the physical boundary markers may be minimal or obscured by initial landscaping. We ensure your fence is installed accurately to avoid future disputes with neighbouring households.

Access is another key factor. Many new-build gardens can only be accessed through the house, especially before side gates are installed. We take great care to protect flooring and walls during material transport and use protective coverings to prevent damage.

New-build gardens often have soft, recently laid turf or topsoil. This means extra care is required when digging post holes, especially to avoid disturbing drainage pipes or utility lines that run close to the surface. We always check for potential underground obstructions before installation.

Residents of new-build estates often prefer composite fencing or modern slatted panels to match contemporary garden designs. Closeboard fencing remains a popular choice too, especially when homeowners want long-term durability and strong wind resistance.

If your developer has height restrictions or covenants, we can help interpret these and recommend compliant fencing solutions.
