Garden Fencing Cardiff

We believe a fence does more than define your boundaries. It adds character, makes a statement and enhances the personality of your garden. Our garden fencing in Cardiff is designed and installed to give you privacy, security and a clean, lasting finish, whether you are screening a patio, sheltering a young family or simply smartening up a tired old boundary.

Garden fencing built for Cardiff homes

Cardiff gardens come in every shape, from compact terraced yards in Roath and Canton to larger plots in Cyncoed, Llanishen and out into the Vale. A fence has to suit the property and stand up to the local weather, and that is exactly what we plan for. Our coastal and valley climate means plenty of wind and rain, so the way a fence is built, the posts you choose and how it is fixed all matter as much as the panel itself. We size and specify every job around your particular garden rather than offering one fence for everyone.

Good fencing is also one of the most cost-effective ways to transform an outdoor space. It is perfect for dividing a larger garden into smaller, more manageable areas, whether that is a vegetable patch, a barbecue area, a children's play zone or a quiet seating corner, helping you make the most of what you have.

Materials, styles and options

We offer a diverse range of fencing styles, all chosen for both looks and longevity. The right choice depends on how much privacy and security you want, the style of your home, and the level of upkeep you are happy with.

Feather edge fencing

Feather edge fencing, sometimes called closeboard, is one of the strongest and most popular options. Overlapping feather edge boards are fixed to horizontal rails to create a solid, gap-free run that gives excellent privacy and a clean, traditional look. It can be fitted with either concrete or timber posts and built to standard or custom heights, with the option to add trellis on top for extra light and a decorative finish.

Fence panels

Pre-made fence panels are a smart, tidy choice where you want a consistent appearance and a quicker install. Feather board panels are known for their sturdiness and are available in standard or custom sizes, again with the option of a trellis topper. We can fit panels between concrete or timber posts, and slot-in concrete gravel boards along the base are a popular addition to keep timber up off the ground and away from damp.

Hit and miss, picket and screens

For something with a bit more design interest we also install hit and miss fencing, where boards alternate on each side of the rail to let air pass through while still screening the view, which is ideal on windier, more exposed plots. Traditional picket fencing suits front gardens and cottage-style homes, while diamond trellis panels are perfect for delicate screens or supporting climbing plants, available in various styles including heavy diamond lattice and privacy lattice. Natural screens are another option where you want softer, greener boundaries.

The benefits of a properly installed fence

• Privacy and shelter: a solid run such as feather edge gives you a private garden and a useful windbreak.
• Security: a sturdy, well-fixed fence helps keep boundaries clear and your garden, children and pets safely enclosed.
• Structure and zoning: fencing and screens divide a larger garden into practical, attractive areas.
• Kerb appeal and value: a smart, consistent boundary lifts the look of the whole property.
• Low fuss living: with the right materials and finish, a quality fence asks very little of you year to year.

How we install your fence

A fence is only as good as the groundwork beneath it, so we never skip the preparation. The result is a boundary that stays straight, plumb and secure for years rather than one that leans or works loose after the first big storm.

Survey and groundwork

We start with a free survey to assess the suitability of your chosen fence line, checking for underground utilities and advising on any height restrictions or shared-boundary considerations. We then clear the line, remove any old fencing and set out the run accurately before any posts go in.

Posts, drainage and edging

Post holes are dug to a proper depth and the posts set firmly so the fence has a solid backbone. We make sure water can drain away from the base rather than sitting against the timber, and we use gravel boards or a clean edge along the bottom to keep panels and boards up off wet ground. Getting the posts and the base right is what gives the finished fence its strength and its lifespan.

Panels, boards and finish

With the posts set, we fit the panels or feather edge boards to a consistent line and level, add any trellis tops or post caps, and check the whole run for a tidy, even finish. We then clear away all the old materials and offcuts and leave your garden clean, with the new fence ready to use.

Maintenance and durability

A quality fence is built to last, and a little care goes a long way. Timber fencing benefits from an occasional coat of a suitable treatment or stain to protect it and keep the colour fresh, and it is worth keeping climbing plants and heavy soil from building up against the boards. Choosing concrete posts and gravel boards reduces ground contact and helps the timber last longer, while feather edge construction can have individual boards replaced if ever needed rather than a whole panel. We will talk you through the right finish for the materials you choose so you know exactly how to look after it.
