Domestic fencing

Garden fencing, gates and timber structures for homes and residential estates across Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset

For homes, gardens and residential estates across Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset. We build domestic fencing the way it was meant to last: hand-cut, properly set, in materials that age into the landscape rather than against it.

What we build.

Close-board fencing. Picket and pale. Slatted contemporary panels. Post-and-rail boundaries.

Hardwood gates, hand-cut and hung. Estate enclosures, where the boundary runs for hundreds of metres and stays straight.

We work with sawn oak, pressure-treated softwood, hardwood capping and oil-rubbed steel ironmongery, chosen to match the property and the landscape it sits in, not chosen because it was on offer at the merchant.

Gates

Five-bar field gates, pedestrian gates, softwood driveway pairs, and hardwood in iroko where the gate

is the first thing a visitor sees. Hung on properly bedded posts, hand-finished, built to swing true in

year ten as well as year one.

Garden structures

Beyond the boundary we build the timber that furnishes a garden. Garden studios and home offices,

hexagonal gazebos, pergolas and trellised archways, raised beds, potting sheds, log stores and

compost bays.

 

Designed to sit with the house and the planting, built to last in the weather.

How we work.

Every job starts with a site visit. We walk the boundary with you, measure the levels, talk through what

the fence has to do, privacy, security, visual continuity, livestock control, and what it has to look like.

 

We send a written quotation within 48 hours.

Once you've signed off, we book a date and arrive on it.

Our crews work two-to-a-job for most domestic installs.

 

We turn up in tracked machinery on sensitive ground,

so we don't leave the lawn in worse condition than we found it.

Materials chosen to age, not fail.

For domestic work we lean toward materials that age well. Sawn oak posts, capped to keep the rain

off the end grain. Pressure-treated softwood for cost-effective long runs. Hardwood for gates, where

the joinery sees daily use.

Galvanised hardware throughout. We don't use anything that will rust in three winters. All fittings hand-

set, never just nailed.

What happens after we leave.

A well-built fence lasts twenty-five years before the posts need any attention. We tell clients what they

can expect at year five, year ten, year twenty-five, and we're happy to come back for repairs and

replacement section work on jobs we built ourselves. We'll also look at jobs we didn't build, where

someone else is struggling to fix what they've installed.

Considering a domestic fencing project?

The easiest first step is a phone call or a quote booking. No charge for a first site visit within our

service radius.
