Our Garden Fencing Includes:
Timber / Wood Fencing
Wooden fences can be tailored to match any setting, from rustic cottages to sleek, contemporary homes. One of the advantages of our timber fencing is its ability to be painted, stained or treated, letting you customise its appearance to fit your design preferences.
Featheredge Fencing
Featheredge fencing is an excellent choice for properties requiring both strength and privacy. Its construction involves overlapping wooden boards that create a solid and uniform barrier, making it particularly effective at blocking visibility and reducing noise. This fencing type is ideal for gardens that face busy roads or neighbouring properties, providing a secure and calm space for you to enjoy. Featheredge fencing is built to endure harsh weather conditions and is less likely to warp or split over time. Its robust design also makes it suitable for larger boundaries or areas exposed to high winds.
Closeboard Fencing
Our Closeboard fencing is renowned for its classic appearance and long-lasting performance. Built using overlapping vertical boards, this style is a popular choice for those seeking a secure and elegant fencing solution. Closeboard fencing provides complete privacy, making it ideal for families with children or homeowners looking to create a secluded outdoor area. Its sturdy construction means it remains durable over time, even in adverse weather. Closeboard fences can be customised with decorative features such as trellis tops or wooden caps.
Picket / Palisade Fencing
Picket fencing (also known as palisade fencing) offers a timeless solution for creating garden boundaries. Commonly associated with traditional or cottage-type properties, this style features evenly spaced vertical boards fixed to horizontal rails. Picket fences are great for marking out boundaries without obstructing views, making them perfect for front gardens or areas where a welcoming feel is desired. They are available in a variety of finishes, including painted or natural wood, and can be adjusted to different heights based on your requirements.
Slatted Panel Fencing
Slatted panel fencing is a contemporary choice that combines functionality with sleek design. This type of fencing features horizontal slats, evenly spaced to allow airflow and light whilst maintaining privacy. Slatted panels are ideal for modern gardens and outdoor spaces, creating a minimalist appearance that complements a variety of architectural styles.
Lattice / Trellis Fencing
Our Lattice or trellis fencing offers a versatile and decorative solution for gardens and outdoor spaces. Featuring crisscross patterns, this style is perfect for supporting climbing plants such as ivy, roses or jasmine, transforming your fence into a living feature. Trellis panels can be used as standalone structures or combined with other fencing types to add height and interest.
Tongue & Groove Fencing
Tongue and groove fencing is the premium choice for homeowners seeking exceptional strength and a sleek appearance. This fencing style features interlocking boards that create a seamless, solid panel that results in superior stability and privacy. Tongue and groove panels are often used in areas requiring additional security or noise reduction, as their tight construction makes them highly effective at minimising gaps.
Composite Fencing
Joe Taylor Gardening Services provides high-quality composite fencing, offering homeowners a durable, stylish, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional wooden fencing. Whether you require both supply and installation or just the materials, we deliver premium composite fencing solutions customised to your needs.
Garden Fencing Questions
-
What Is The Difference Between Closeboard & Featheredge?
Closeboard fencing creates clean, flat surfaces that suit contemporary properties and urban gardens. The vertical boards mount flush against each other, producing streamlined boundaries that complement modern architectural styles and minimalist landscaping.
Featheredge fencing uses overlapping timber boards that create textured surfaces with greater visual depth. This traditional construction method produces more rustic appearances that work well with period properties and cottage-style gardens. -
What Is The Best Garden Fencing For UK Properties?
Featheredge fencing (also called closeboard) ranks as the most popular choice for UK gardens due to its proven durability and weather resistance. This traditional fencing style has protected British properties for generations, making it reliable for our climate conditions.
We also supply contemporary alternatives including slatted panels and composite materials that provide equivalent privacy levels with modern styling suited to current architectural trends. -
How Long Does Closeboard Fencing Last?
Well-maintained closeboard fencing typically lasts 15-20 years in UK conditions. Regular annual maintenance including treatment and minor repairs can extend this lifespan considerably.
Using concrete posts instead of timber posts can significantly increase fence longevity, as concrete resists rot and weather damage. When panels eventually require replacement, the concrete posts and gravel boards often remain serviceable, reducing replacement costs. -
Do Fence Boards Need Gaps Between Them?
Timber fencing requires small gaps between boards to accommodate natural wood movement. Temperature and moisture changes cause timber to expand and contract throughout the year, making gaps necessary to prevent warping and splitting.
Most timber fencing uses gaps of 3-6mm between boards. These spaces also allow airflow that helps prevent moisture buildup and reduces wind loading on the fence structure. -
Should Garden Fencing Touch The Ground?
Fence panels should never make direct contact with soil to prevent rot and decay. Even pressure-treated timber can deteriorate when constantly exposed to ground moisture and soil contact.
We install concrete gravel boards beneath fence panels to create protective barriers between timber and ground level. This approach significantly extends fence life by preventing moisture wicking and pest access. -
How Durable Is Featheredge Fencing?
Featheredge fencing offers superior durability due to its overlapping board construction. Each board supports adjacent boards, creating structures that resist wind damage and impact better than many alternative fencing types.
The overlapping design also provides better weather protection, as water runs off the angled surfaces rather than penetrating joints. This makes featheredge fencing particularly suitable for exposed locations and family properties requiring long-term security. -
Is Tongue & Groove Fencing Worth The Investment?
Tongue and groove fencing provides premium performance through its interlocking board design. The joints create seamless surfaces that resist wind pressure and eliminate privacy gaps, making this fencing ideal for properties requiring maximum security and noise reduction.
The interlocking construction also increases structural strength, allowing tongue and groove fencing to withstand impacts and extreme weather better than standard panel fencing. This durability makes it cost-effective for high-exposure locations.
