Fencing in Ledbury, where timber-framed buildings, hillside gardens on the edge of the Malvern Hills and country-town plots call for sturdy posts and sympathetic styles.
Ledbury is a small Herefordshire market town with a lot of character, and its gardens reflect it. Around the timber-framed buildings in the centre, plots are tight and awkward; towards the edge of the Malvern Hills they open out, tilt and catch the weather. A fence that works in one part of town may be wrong in another.
We install, replace and repair garden fencing in Ledbury and the surrounding countryside. Visits are free, and we will work out what is practical for your plot, be it a short run behind a period building or a long boundary along a field edge. Our written quotation spells out exactly what is included.
Where a garden backs onto open fields or hedging, the boundary is often long, and getting the posts right matters more than the panel price. Firm ground suits concreted posts, but heavy soil can hold water in winter, so we look at drainage before choosing. In the older streets, space beside buildings can be limited, and a fence may have to be built in sections to get it into place. A replacement is a good time to add gravel boards, which protect the bottom of each panel from damp and are easy to swap later without taking the panel down.
Gardens on slopes towards the hills can be exposed to gusts funnelled along the valley sides, and a closeboard fence can take a battering. Broken posts are the most frequent fault, followed by panels that have come out of their grooves. We can often rescue a fence by replacing the weakest posts and refitting panels in good condition. If a field gate or garden gate was damaged too, we can look at that at the same time. For storm damage fence repairs, tell us if animals could get in or out, as that decides how quickly we secure the gap.
Next to timber-framed or period buildings, simple and natural styles such as feather edge, post and rail or waney edge tend to sit quietly. Contemporary slatted fencing can work on newer plots away from the centre. Post and rail along a field edge is a traditional choice and can have stock netting added if needed for dogs or smaller animals. Garden gates in older settings may need custom sizing. A good gate depends on heavy, well-set posts as much as on the gate itself, so we give those just as much attention.
We cover Ledbury and the country around it, including Malvern, Bromyard, Hereford and Upton upon Severn. Some properties are reached down narrow lanes, and some boundaries run along fields or woodland edge, so we like to see the site before quoting. Where a fence adjoins livestock land, mention it, as that affects the style and height. Our quotations are free and carry no obligation, and we are happy to deal with a small repair as readily as a whole new garden boundary.
We also take on garden fencing work in nearby Malvern, Bromyard, Hereford, Upton upon Severn.

“Jim and Dan did a brilliant job on my 90ft conifer. Its a lot safer now and I have more light in the garden...”

Yes. Post and rail is the common style, sometimes with wire or mesh added if animals or dogs are a concern. Field edges can be uneven and boggy, so we check the ground and the position of existing hedging before setting posts.
Yes. We can step panels down in level sections or build boards individually to follow the ground. The better option depends on the gradient and how much privacy you need at the low end. We explain both on the visit.
They are close to the same thing under different names: overlapping vertical boards nailed to horizontal rails. Both are built on site, are strong and private, and handle uneven ground well. The names are used interchangeably, so we will describe the exact build in your quote.
