Professional Garden Fencing

Hannifins Paving UK Ltd provides professional garden fencing installation for homes and selected commercial properties across Cheshire and Greater Manchester. Fencing can define boundaries, improve privacy, divide garden areas and create a clearer edge around patios, paths and lawns.

Customers can choose from several fence styles, including traditional timber panels, closeboard fencing, decorative panels, trellis and selected composite systems. Therefore, we can recommend an option suited to the property, required level of privacy and available budget.

Before installation begins, our team assesses the existing boundary, access, ground conditions and surrounding features. We then explain the suitable post, panel and gravel board options and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation.

Fencing Designed Around Your Property

Every garden has different dimensions, boundaries and access requirements. Some customers want full-height privacy fencing, while others prefer lower decorative panels or fencing combined with trellis.

During the initial site visit, we assess neighbouring structures, walls, trees, paving, lawns and changes in level. We can then recommend a practical layout and suitable fence style. As a result, the completed fencing can define the property without disrupting the wider garden design.

Timber Fence Panels

Timber panels remain a popular choice for residential gardens. They are available in several styles, heights and finishes, ranging from simple overlap panels to more decorative framed designs.

Standard panels can provide a straightforward way to replace damaged fencing or enclose a boundary. However, the overall performance depends on the posts, ground conditions, exposure and quality of installation.

Closeboard Fencing

Closeboard fencing uses vertical timber boards fixed to horizontal rails between posts. This construction allows the fence to follow different boundary lengths and changes in ground level more easily than some pre-made panel systems.

The overlapping boards create a solid appearance and can provide a good level of privacy. In addition, individual boards may be easier to replace if localised damage occurs.

Decorative Fencing

Decorative fence panels can provide a more open or detailed appearance than standard solid panels. Options may include slatted designs, curved tops, lattice sections and framed panels.

These styles can work well around patios, seating areas and front gardens where the appearance of the boundary is an important part of the landscaping.

Trellis Fencing

Trellis can be installed above solid panels or used as a lighter garden divider. It can add height and definition without creating the same fully enclosed appearance as a solid panel.

Trellis may also support suitable climbing plants. However, the additional weight and wind exposure should be considered when selecting the posts and supporting structure.

Composite Fencing

Composite fencing uses manufactured boards or panels that can provide a consistent finish and an alternative to traditional timber. Products are available in different colours, textures and construction systems.

Composite materials generally do not require the same painting or staining routine as natural timber. Nevertheless, they still need cleaning and inspection, and performance varies between manufacturers and systems.

Concrete Fence Posts

Concrete posts provide a strong support system for many timber panel installations. They can be used with slotted panels and concrete gravel boards to create a fence that allows individual panels to be removed and replaced.

The posts are heavier than timber and require suitable excavation and secure setting. Their size and appearance should also be considered alongside the preferred garden design.

Timber Fence Posts

Timber posts can create a coordinated appearance with wooden fencing. They are commonly used for closeboard fencing, gates and decorative panel systems.

Because timber remains exposed to moisture and ground conditions, suitable treated materials and careful installation are important. Regular inspection can also identify early signs of movement or deterioration.

Steel and Alternative Fence Posts

Some fencing systems use galvanised steel or other manufactured post options. These can provide a slimmer profile and may suit customers who want an alternative to timber or concrete posts.

The correct post depends on the fence type, ground conditions and manufacturer’s system. We can discuss suitable options during the site visit.

Fence Gravel Boards

Gravel boards sit between the fence panel and the ground. They help keep timber panels away from direct contact with soil and create a defined lower edge.

Available options can include concrete, timber and compatible composite systems. The most suitable choice depends on the selected panels, posts and desired appearance.

Garden Gates

A matching garden gate can provide access through the new fence line. Gates may be required for side passages, rear gardens, driveways or separate landscaped areas.

We plan the gate around the available width, surrounding posts and intended use. Suitable hinges, latches and clearances help the gate operate correctly after installation.

Privacy Fencing

Solid fencing can reduce direct views into a garden and create a more enclosed outdoor space. The appropriate height and style depend on the boundary, nearby properties and applicable planning restrictions.

Higher fencing can also experience greater wind loading. Therefore, post spacing, foundations and local exposure should be considered rather than selecting panels based on height alone.

Front Garden Fencing

Lower fencing can define a front boundary without fully enclosing the property. Decorative panels, picket-style fencing and low timber boundaries can work alongside paths, walls and planting areas.

Planning restrictions may apply where fencing sits beside a road, pavement or junction. Property owners should confirm any necessary permission before installation begins.

Rear Garden Fencing

Rear garden fencing can divide neighbouring properties, improve privacy and create a clear edge around lawns, patios and other features. Solid panels and closeboard systems are common choices.

The installation should account for existing sheds, walls, trees, paths and changes in ground level. We assess these features before confirming the proposed layout.

Fencing on Sloping Ground

Sloping gardens can require stepped or raked fencing. A stepped layout keeps each panel level while changing height between sections, whereas a raked system follows the slope more closely.

The suitable approach depends on the panel style, severity of the slope and desired appearance. Closeboard fencing can often provide greater flexibility across irregular ground.

Fencing Beside Patios and Paths

Fencing can frame a patio, create privacy around a seating area or define a garden path. Planning the fence alongside the paving can help avoid awkward gaps and mismatched levels.

Where possible, we coordinate posts, edging and paved surfaces so that the features connect neatly across the finished area.

Fencing as Part of a Landscaping Project

New fencing often forms part of a wider garden improvement. Patios, paths, lawn areas, walls and steps can all connect with or sit beside the boundary.

Using one contractor for connected landscaping work can simplify the construction sequence and create a more consistent result. Therefore, we can discuss a standalone fence or a wider garden renovation.

Replacing Old or Damaged Fencing

Fence panels and posts can deteriorate because of age, weather exposure, ground movement or accidental impact. Common problems include leaning posts, loose panels, damaged boards and failed gravel boards.

We can remove unsuitable sections and install replacement fencing around the existing boundary. Where practical, some components may be retained, although their condition must be assessed first.

Fence Repairs

Localised damage may allow individual boards, panels, posts or gravel boards to be replaced. However, repairing one visible section may not solve wider movement caused by failed posts or unstable ground.

Our team can inspect the affected area and explain whether repair or replacement provides the more practical option.

Storm-Damaged Fencing

Strong winds can damage panels, posts and fixings, particularly where fencing is exposed or already weakened. Fallen or leaning sections should be made safe and kept clear of access routes.

A replacement may require stronger posts, different panel spacing or an alternative design. However, no fence can be guaranteed against all weather conditions.

Fence Removal and Waste

Replacing fencing may involve dismantling old panels, posts, concrete and other materials. The amount of removal depends on the existing installation and access to the garden.

We include the agreed removal and waste arrangements within the quotation so that customers understand the proposed scope of work.

Fence Post Foundations

Secure post foundations support the stability of the fence. First, we mark the agreed boundary line and post positions. Next, we excavate suitable holes based on the post type, height and ground conditions.

The posts are then aligned and set before panels, rails or boards are installed. Careful spacing helps maintain a consistent fence line.

Fencing and Property Boundaries

The property owner should confirm the legal boundary before fencing work begins. Existing fences do not always sit exactly on the legal boundary, particularly where properties have changed over time.

Hannifins Paving UK Ltd can install fencing to the agreed line, but we cannot determine ownership of disputed land or provide legal boundary advice.

Planning Permission for Fencing

Planning permission may be required for fencing above certain heights, particularly where it sits beside a highway. Additional restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas and properties with specific planning conditions.

The property owner should confirm the relevant requirements before installation. We can adjust the quotation once the permitted design and height are known.

Fencing Maintenance

Timber fencing benefits from regular inspection and suitable treatment where required. Customers should look for loose fixings, damaged boards and movement around the posts.

Vegetation should also be controlled where it places pressure on the fence or traps moisture against timber. Composite and manufactured systems require cleaning and maintenance in line with the supplier’s guidance.

Fencing for Homes and Commercial Properties

We provide fencing for residential gardens and selected commercial outdoor areas. Applications may include boundaries, bin-store enclosures, garden divisions and access routes.

The appropriate system depends on the intended use, required height, expected exposure and appearance. We assess these requirements before recommending the fence type.
