Fencing for Bewdley's Georgian terraces and narrow riverside plots, from replacing tired panels and rotten posts to repairing storm damage and fitting gates that suit older frontages.
Bewdley is a Georgian riverside town on the Severn, and its gardens reflect that. Many are long and narrow, tucked behind period terraces, with boundaries shared on both sides. A fence here often has to deal with damp ground, awkward access through the house or a side passage, and neighbours who all have a view on what goes up.
SPR Trees and Landscapes covers Bewdley and the surrounding area for garden fence installation, garden fence replacement and repairs. We start by walking the boundary with you, checking who owns which side, and noting where the ground is soft or sloping. A free quotation sets out the work clearly before anything is ordered.
Terrace gardens usually mean a run of short panels on both sides, and the posts take the punishment. Where the soil stays wet, timber posts rot at ground level long before the panels give up. In that case we often recommend concrete fence posts with concrete gravel boards, so the timber panels sit clear of the soil. Access matters too. If everything has to be carried through a hallway or a narrow passage, we plan the delivery and the removal of old panels around that. Each post is set in concrete to a depth that suits its height, and runs are kept level and tidy even where the garden rises from the house.
Gardens close to the river catch the worst of autumn and winter weather. Saturated ground loosens posts, and a strong gust against a closeboard panel acts like a sail. Typical callouts are a leaning run, a single snapped post or a few fallen panels. We look at the whole line, not just the broken part, because one failed post often means its neighbours are close behind. Where a repair will do, we say so and keep it simple. Where the line has had its day, we explain why replacement is the sounder choice. Emergency fence repairs can be arranged to make a boundary safe quickly.
Period homes call for restraint. Feather edge or closeboard fencing gives privacy along side boundaries, while picket fencing or post and rail suits a front garden near the street. Gates deserve the same thought, since they are the part everyone sees. A timber garden gate can be made to match the height and style of the fence beside it, or set slightly apart if you want it to stand out. We will talk through hinges, latches, width for bins and bikes, and whether the opening needs to take a wheelbarrow, then fit it so it swings freely.
We work in Bewdley and across the neighbouring towns, including Kidderminster, Stourport-on-Severn and Tenbury Wells. Because the town sits right on the river, we always ask whether your garden floods or stays boggy, as this affects post choice and how deep they go. Narrow terraced plots also affect how we work, with tight access and shared boundaries to respect. If you are unsure whose responsibility a fence is, we can look at it with you and suggest sensible next steps. Contact SPR for a free quote and advice.

Concrete posts are the usual answer where ground stays wet, since they do not rot. Timber posts can still work if properly set and kept clear of standing water. We will look at your soil and drainage and explain the options before quoting.
Often a single fallen panel or broken post can be repaired. We check the neighbouring posts first, because wind and wet ground usually weaken a whole run. If the rest is sound we repair only what is needed.
It is sensible to. Boundary ownership varies from house to house, and old deeds or plans can help. We can discuss what is practical on site, but a conversation with the neighbour before work starts usually avoids problems.
