Fencing
Fencing in Moffat
Fencing in Moffat can mean a new boundary for one of the town's older stone-built houses or villas, where the fence should sit comfortably beside the stonework. We offer traditional timber as well as concrete post-and-panel and UPVC, and the fence can be coordinated with any wider garden work.
Homes in Moffat
Moffat is a small spa town in Annandale, surrounded by hills, about 24 miles north-west of our base. Many of its houses and villas are older and stone-built, so how a boundary looks matters as much as what it does. Traditional timber is one option for these properties; our photo shows a closeboard timber fence we finished ourselves, on concrete posts with gravel boards. Where the ground stays wet, posts set in concrete or on concrete spurs last longer.
What matters for fencing in Moffat
On an older property, a fence is easier to get right when it is planned with the garden rather than on its own. We look at what the boundary has to do, how it will sit beside the house and how it meets any lawn, paving or other landscaping, so the whole space works as one coherent plan.
- Decide on the finish: traditional timber, or concrete post-and-panel or UPVC if they suit the house better.
- Check the frontage: a fence by a road usually has a lower height limit before you need planning permission.
- Tell us about damp ground so the post fixings can be planned around it.
- Let us know about any other garden plans, such as a new lawn or paved area.
Questions about fencing in Moffat
Will a modern fence look out of place next to my stone villa in Moffat?
That depends on the material and style. Alongside UPVC and concrete post-and-panel we offer traditional timber, and the fence can be coordinated with your wider landscaping so the boundary sits naturally in the garden. Tell us about the house and we can talk through the options.
Is it worth setting fence posts in concrete?
In wet ground, yes: posts set in concrete or on concrete spurs last longer. The fence in our photo uses concrete posts, with gravel boards at the bottom.
Can the lawn be redone when the fence goes in?
Our landscaping work can include new lawns and artificial grass alongside paved areas and other hard landscaping, and the fence can be coordinated with it so the garden comes together as a whole.
