Garden fencing in Moreton-in-Marsh, a Fosse Way market town of Cotswold-stone houses, with new boundaries, storm repairs and gates that suit the local look.
Moreton-in-Marsh is a Cotswold-stone market town on the Fosse Way, and gardens here often back onto a mix of stone walls, hedges and older timber fences. Replacing or adding a fence in that setting is partly about strength and partly about how it looks beside the stone, since a poor choice stands out against such warm, traditional walls.
We fit and repair garden fencing in the town and nearby. If you are weighing up whether to patch a failing boundary or start again, we can walk the line with you, check the posts and put the choices in a free written quotation. Nothing is pushed, and we will say when a repair will do the job.
A long shared boundary between two stone houses may have several generations of repairs. Before replacing anything, we look at which posts are sound and which have given up. Gravel boards are one of the simplest ways to extend a fence's life, as they keep the bottom of each panel out of wet soil and can be swapped without disturbing the rest. Concrete posts are practical where drainage is poor. On a straight run across a level garden, accurate setting out matters more than anything else, because a slight lean at one end shows plainly at the other.
The north Cotswolds are open country, and tall fences in unsheltered gardens take a lot of force. Typical repairs involve a split post, panels blown from their slots or a gate dropped from its hinge. Where the damage is partial, we can often mend it with new posts and panels fitted into the existing line. Broken fence post repairs may use a spur or a full new post, depending on how much of the old one is left. If the fence is a safety or security worry in the meantime, we can make it secure for a short period.
Natural timber tones tend to sit well against pale stone. Feather edge and closeboard in a soft brown or grey stain are popular, and low picket or post and rail suit a front boundary. If your garden is overlooked, a slatted design gives privacy without the heavy look of a solid panel. Gates deserve thought: a timber gate in the same finish as the fence ties everything together, and a wider one is helpful for a mower or a trailer. We can fit new gate posts in concrete for a firm result.
We work in Moreton-in-Marsh and the towns and villages nearby, such as Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Shipston-on-Stour and Bourton-on-the-Water. Travelling between them is part of a normal week for us. Tell us about parking, side access and whether a boundary is shared or your own when you ask for a quote, because that helps us plan the right materials and the right amount of time. Quotations are free, and we are glad to take on repairs as well as full replacements.
We also take on garden fencing work in nearby Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Shipston-on-Stour, Bourton-on-the-Water.

“Jim and Dan did a brilliant job on my 90ft conifer. Its a lot safer now and I have more light in the garden...”
“The boys did an excellent job... pruned my trees back and remove one tree that had split...”
“The guys were prompt & proffesional removed an old ash for me thanks guys”
Natural and soft brown tones are the usual choice, as they blend with warm stone. Very dark or bright colours can look harsh. A sample seen in daylight against your own wall is worth having, and we can discuss finishes when we visit.
Keep timber off the ground. Concrete gravel boards under the panels take the wet, and they can be replaced separately. Regular treatment of the timber helps, as does clearing soil and leaves piled against the fence.
Yes, as long as the posts either side are firm and in line. If the old gate dropped because the post leaned or rotted, we would set a new post as well. We check this on the visit before quoting.
