When planning your garden boundary, choosing the right fencing material can feel overwhelming. Homeowners often find themselves torn between traditional timber fencing that has served British gardens for generations, and newer composite alternatives promising minimal maintenance. Both materials have distinct advantages, but understanding their key differences will help you make an informed decision.

Composite Fencing Installation In Bilborough
When a homeowner in Bilborough approached us, they were dealing with a deteriorating boundary fence that had seen better days. The original gravel board fencing had suffered significant damage over the years, with broken sections compromising the security and appearance of their property.

Understanding the importance of a robust and attractive garden boundary, we were delighted to provide a composite fencing solution that would stand the test of time.
H2: Initial Site Visit
Our initial site visit revealed the extent of the damage to the existing fence. The original gravel boards had become weathered and cracked, whilst several sections had completely failed.
The wooden posts were showing signs of rot, and the overall integrity of the boundary was compromised. We explained to our client that a complete replacement would be the most cost-effective long-term solution, rather than attempting piecemeal repairs that would inevitably fail again within a short timeframe.
During our assess... -

Clearing Space By Removing Conifers
The first stage of the project involved removing a long line of conifer trees that previously acted as a natural boundary. While these trees had offered some screening in the past, they had grown out of control and were beginning to cause problems. Their roots were interfering with the garden’s layout and they were becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
We safely removed all the conifers, including the root systems where required, making space for a new fence line. The removal not only opened up the garden but also gave the homeowner the opportunity to install a more structured and lo... -
Composite Fencing In Bilborough, Nottingham
We recently completed a composite fencing project in Bilborough, Nottingham, for a large domestic garden that required a more structured and low-maintenance boundary.

Composite Fence Installation Using Existing Concrete Posts
Click Here
At Joe Taylor Gardening Services, we carried out a fencing installation project for a residential client in Watnall, Nottingham. The client had an existing fence setup, but the old wooden panels had become tired, weathered and in need of replacement.
Instead of replacing the entire fence structure, we reused the original concrete posts and gravel boards. This approach saved the client money and reduced waste, making it both cost-effective and efficient.
The new composite boards we installed gave the fence a fresh and modern look, with added durability that timber panels simply can’t match.
Long-Lasting, Low Maintenance Fencing
Composite fencing is a great choice for homeowners looking for a long-lasting and low-maintenance option. Unlike timber, composite boards won’t rot, split or warp over time. They are also resistant to insect damage and don't require painting or staining.
For this project, the boards were slotted... -

The client’s outdoor space was in need of a refresh, so we removed the old garden turf, rebuilt certain areas and introduced a new garden layout. Our goal was to create a more manageable outdoor environment that the customer could enjoy throughout the year.

Ground Preparation
We began by stripping away the existing lawn using a turf cutter. Once the turf was lifted, our team rotorvated the soil to break it up and then raked the ground to achieve an even surface. This step was critical for making sure any new materials would sit correctly and give the garden a neat finish.
Gravel Board / Retaining Wall
Next, we installed a gravel board retaining wall. This retaining feature helps keep the gravel in place, meaning that it won’t shift into neighbouring flower beds or pathways. By including this feature, we added a strong boundary that holds the stones where they need to be.... -
