Fairline Fencing carry out a wide range of garden construction services including paving, brickwork, drainage and timber projects. Below is a larger mixed project which involved terracing and steps built with oak sleepers, a large patio area and of course new fencing too.
We take care to build with longevity and strength in mind as well as the aesthetics in garden design.
Trellis is often used as a decorative top section of a fence. Here it was used to divide up a large garden lawn without completely obscuring the far end.
In this case, every detail of the design was discussed with the client, including their preferences for the height of the arch, type of post, trellis used and the depth of the flower beds.
The full height section to the right was to give greater privacy from the overlooking property on that side.
This terraced garden makes use of treated 6x2 retaining timbers to maintain gravel paths on a steep sloping site. There are various ways to fix them, in this case with black 'angle iron' steel which was hammered several feet into the ground.
In other cases, we can build concrete block retaining walls with integrated steel 'rebar' and then render it to create a smart smooth paintable wall, straight or curved.
We can provide decorative gravels in a wide variety of colours and sizes, from pea shingle to plum slate.
In addition to repair work we also supply and hang new gates from standard softwood gates to the solid oak gate fitted here. It was at a period property in Frome and the posts are solid oak too. I expect it will be there for a very long time.
With a gate this costly there is no room for error in drilling holes for the hinges and latch. The posts were set in concrete over two feet deep and we also had to cut and set the original stone slabs between the posts.
We can also supply and fit anything from a simple waist high picket gate to aluminium field gates 12' wide.
Automated gates for driveways can also provide extra security, not to mention the convenience of not having to get out of your car in the rain.
We take care to listen to you and discuss the finer details.
Let us know your special requirements.
Panels come in all sorts of designs, shapes and sizes.
We can provide standard larchlap panels, 'feather edge' panels and also some mixed fence / trellis designs as pictured here. All panels are treated.
This fence used timber posts with caps but they could also have been fitted with concrete posts which have a far longer life. If the concrete appearance is not to your taste then they can be painted brown to take on the appearance of timber posts.
LDO Property Services also carry out landscape construction work such as patios and steps. The project below featured a large paved circle pack as a patio centre-piece for a seating area. The perimeter of the patio used gravel and a brick border.
Occasionally just one or two posts need replacing as below.
