Tonypandy lies in the Rhondda Fawr, where terraced streets climb the valley sides and back gardens are steep, narrow and often cut into the hill. Fencing in that kind of setting takes patience: every post, panel and step has to be fitted to ground that rarely stays level for long. We supply and fit garden fencing in Tonypandy, set out carefully to suit the slope.
If your fence has slipped, rotted or gone altogether, get in touch and we will look at the garden with you, talk through what a lasting fix would involve on your slope, and agree the plan before we begin any digging.
Back gardens in Tonypandy often rise sharply behind the house, sometimes in terraces held by low walls. We study the ground before choosing a layout, then step the panels so the top stays level, or rake them where the gradient is gentler. Each run is set out by eye and by line so it looks tidy from the house. That attention to detail shows.
On steep ground, a fence is only as sound as its posts. We dig to a proper depth, set them firmly and check each one before moving on, because loose posts on a slope drift downhill after heavy rain. Gravel boards then keep the base of each panel clear of the wet soil that runs through the garden. It is steady work.
Access to Tonypandy terraces can be tight, with rear lanes narrow or missing and the house itself the only route in. We are used to carrying materials carefully, protecting floors and keeping the work tidy. Tell us how the garden is reached when you contact us, so we can plan the day properly and bring the right lengths of timber. It helps us arrive ready.
Many boundaries here meet retaining walls, steps and outbuildings. We cut and fit panels around them so rainwater runs off rather than collecting, and we tell you honestly if a fence on top of a wall is wise or whether it needs to sit back from the edge. Careful planning avoids problems later on. We would rather advise against a fence than see it fail, and we will say so plainly.
Terraced boundaries in Tonypandy are usually shared with neighbours on both sides, so it is wise to talk about the line, the height and who owns each section before the old fence comes down. Check height rules with the council too. We remove the old panels and posts at the end. We also cover Trealaw, Penygraig, Llwynypia, Porth and Clydach Vale.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Tonypandy.

For privacy, solid timber close-board or well-made lapped panels on firm posts usually work well, provided the fence suits your wind, slope and boundary.

Tree surgery is priced job by job rather than from a fixed list, so this guide explains what moves the cost up or down and how to get a firm figure.
Read the guide →Usually, yes. We step the panels to follow the slope and set posts firmly in the ground. In some cases a lower fence or a different position suits better, and we will explain why when we see the garden.
Yes. We often carry materials through the house to reach terraced back gardens. We protect floors, work tidily and plan deliveries sensibly. Let us know about the access beforehand, including any steps or narrow turns, so we can prepare.
If posts are sound and only the panels have failed, replacing a section can be enough. If posts have rotted, a longer run is better, as the problem tends to spread. We will check and tell you honestly.
