Fencing & Privacy

The Benefits of Professional Garden Fencing

January 2025·4 min read

Fencing is often underestimated as a garden feature. A well-chosen, professionally installed fence does far more than simply mark a boundary — it defines the character of your outdoor space, provides security and privacy, and can add real value to a Hampshire property.

Privacy and Security

Close-board fencing at 1.8 metres provides genuine privacy from neighbours and passing pedestrians. Combined with a good latch gate, it also adds a meaningful security deterrent — particularly important for rear gardens.

  • Close-board panels: solid privacy and security
  • Trellis tops: additional height without full planning requirements
  • Acoustic fencing: reduces road noise in exposed positions
  • Security spikes or rail tops for additional deterrence

Kerb Appeal and Property Value

A new front boundary fence or gate is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve the appearance of a property. Estate agents consistently note that good fencing and gating improves buyer interest and perceived value.

Longevity Through Professional Installation

Professional installation means posts set at the correct depth in concrete, gravel boards at the base to prevent rot, and arris rails correctly spaced. Done properly, close-board fencing should last 15–20 years with minimal maintenance.
