Fencing
Fencing in Lockerbie
A good fence gives your garden a clear edge, keeps it private and makes the boundary look finished. We offer fencing in Lockerbie in traditional timber, concrete post-and-panel and UPVC, so you can match the boundary to the house it surrounds. The town sits about 11 miles north-west of our base.
Homes in Lockerbie
Lockerbie is a small market town with a mix of older and newer homes. Around the centre stand older sandstone buildings, while later family houses spread out beyond them. If your home is among the older stone properties, picture each material beside the sandstone before you decide, as timber, concrete and UPVC will each look different against it. For a later family home, the priority may be privacy for the garden, extra security or simply a neat line along a smaller boundary. In either case, the fence can be planned around any other landscaping you have in mind so that it looks at home in the garden once everything is done.
What matters for fencing in Lockerbie
Before any fencing in Lockerbie goes up, a few questions are worth answering: what the fence is for, which material suits the property, and how wet the ground gets. Privacy, security and smaller boundary needs each call for a different approach, and the choice of material follows from that. Whatever you choose, the aim is a secure boundary with a tidy finish.
- Tell us what the fence needs to do, whether that is screening the garden, adding security or tidying a smaller boundary.
- Choose between traditional timber, concrete post-and-panel and UPVC, keeping the age and stone of your house in mind.
- If your garden stays damp, remember that posts set in concrete or on concrete spurs hold up longer in wet ground.
Questions about fencing in Lockerbie
Our fence would run along the road. Do we need planning permission?
That depends on how tall you want it. Beside a road, the height you can reach without planning permission is usually lower than elsewhere, so check the limit for your property before settling on a design.
Can new fencing be planned together with paving or a patio?
Yes. We also lay paving, which can stand on its own or form part of a larger driveway, patio or landscaping project. Planning the fence and the paving together helps the boundary fit the rest of the garden.
