Tredegar sits in the Sirhowy valley, and its hillside terraces and sloping gardens put real demands on a fence. Wind funnels along the valley, rain runs down the slope, and boundaries are often shared between close neighbours. We supply and fit garden fencing in Tredegar, from a full new boundary to a few replacement panels, with posts set properly for the ground you have.
If your fence is tired, leaning or letting the neighbours see in, give us a call and we will look at the garden, explain the options and agree a plan with you before anything is ordered or the old panels come down.
A Tredegar garden that tilts needs a fence that has been planned for it. We decide whether stepped or raked panels suit, set the run out with a string line, and keep the top tidy so it does not wander. The slope is usually the first thing we consider, ahead of style or height, because everything else follows from it. We explain it clearly.
Weather matters too. Wind from the valley puts a heavy load on solid panels, so we set the posts deep and firm and fix every panel securely. Gravel boards keep the timber clear of the wet ground that drains across the garden. The result is a fence that stays upright and keeps its line for longer. That is how we aim to build.
Terraced gardens in Tredegar often share fences on both sides, so the work matters to more than one household. We advise talking to the neighbours early about height and style, and making sure you know who is responsible for each stretch. We can offer practical suggestions, but the agreement is between you and them. It saves arguments later. We can help with that.
Space can be limited, so we plan the work tidily. We cut timber to size on site, fit panels tight against house walls and sheds, and add a gate if you need access to a side path or bin area. Careful finishing keeps rainwater from collecting where boards meet brick or stone. That small step makes a lasting difference. We check every joint. Nothing is left loose or untidy.
Fence height can be limited, particularly beside a road or path, so it is sensible to check with the council before you order timber for your Tredegar garden. When the new fence is complete and checked, we take the old one away so the garden is left clear. We also cover Ebbw Vale, Rhymney, Sirhowy and Georgetown. Just ask.
A few jobs we have completed. We also work in and around Tredegar.

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 →Deep, firmly set posts are the main answer, with panels fixed securely at every edge. In very exposed spots a slightly lower or more open style can reduce the load. We look at your garden and suggest what suits.
Yes, though it takes careful planning. We set out each run separately, stepping or raking the panels to suit the fall, and join them neatly at the corners. We explain the layout and the finish to you before we start digging.
Yes. We lift the old panels, remove or cut out the posts and take everything away with us at the end. The garden is left clear for the new boundary, with no rotten timber stacked in a corner.
