Fencing around Shipston-on-Stour, from boundaries that need replacing to repairs after flooding and wind, with advice on posts, styles and gates for riverside and edge-of-town gardens.
Shipston-on-Stour is a small market town on the River Stour, close to the edge of the Cotswolds. Some of its gardens run down towards the water, some sit among older streets near the centre, and some are newer plots on the outskirts with wide views and little shelter.
Whatever your garden is like, SPR Trees and Landscapes can supply and fit garden fencing here, or repair what you already have. We visit, measure, and look at ground conditions, then provide a free quotation. You will hear what we recommend and why, whether that is a cheaper repair, a stronger post or a complete new boundary.
If the ground is damp, as it can be near the river, post choice becomes the main decision. Concrete posts do not rot, and they pair well with concrete gravel boards for a long-lasting base. Timber posts are fine in drier gardens when set properly in concrete. We mark the line, check for pipes and cables, and dig to a depth that suits the height of the fence. Replacement work includes removal of the old fence and tidy disposal. Where an existing line has wandered, we can straighten it while the ground is open.
Water in the soil makes posts loose, and a fence that has stood for years can start leaning after one wet winter. Add wind and panels start to fall. We carry out wind damaged fence repairs, fallen panel replacement and broken post repairs, and we think about what has caused the problem. If your garden gets wet, raising the panels clear of the ground and using concrete posts will reduce repeat damage. Where a boundary needs to be secured quickly, we can arrange emergency fence repairs and plan the full repair for later.
Waney edge has a natural look that suits the edge of town, and feather edge is a good all-rounder between neighbours. Post and rail with netting works for larger plots running down to open land. If you want to keep an eye on the river or a view, a lower or slatted fence will let light through. Gates should match the fence and the amount of use they get. We discuss widths, swing and hardware with you, then hang the gate so it stays square.
We work in Shipston-on-Stour and the area around, including Stratford-upon-Avon, Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Campden. The town is small and sits on the Stour near the Cotswold edge, so the character of a garden can change quickly between a riverside plot and a higher, drier one. We adjust our recommendation to suit. If you are not sure what you need, describe the problem and we will take a look at no charge. Ask SPR for a free quote.
We also take on garden fencing work in nearby Stratford-upon-Avon, Moreton-in-Marsh, Chipping Campden.

“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”
Not necessarily special, but concrete posts and gravel boards are a sensible choice where the ground stays wet. They resist rot. We will look at your drainage and explain the options on site.
Yes. Lower fences, slatted panels or post and rail let you keep sightlines. The trade-off is privacy, so we usually suggest a mix, solid where you need cover and open where you do not.
It depends on demand and the state of the ground. If a boundary is open or dangerous, tell us and we will try to secure it promptly, then arrange the full repair.
