What we do
New closeboard fencing as part of broader builds. Integrated fence-panel uplighting where the lighting earns its place. Boundary work co-ordinated with retaining walls, raised beds and hardscape so the whole boundary reads as one design move rather than a contractor catalogue. We don't take on single-panel repairs or standalone fencing-only contracts.
How we approach it
Concrete posts set deep, gravel boards laid level, panels cut to size for any irregularity in the run rather than gaps left at the ends. Where lighting is integrated, cabling is laid into trenches as the fence goes up — no surface conduit afterwards, no patch jobs to drill in panels later.
A boundary that reads as one design move, not a catalogue.
Materials
Pressure-treated featheredge closeboard panels. Concrete posts with bolt-down or set-in-concrete fixings depending on substrate. Concrete gravel boards. Recessed LED uplighters specified to IP65 minimum where panel lighting forms part of the brief, with armoured cable runs back to a switched supply.
In practice
See Garden composition, Warsash 2025 for fence-panel uplighting integrated into the original build — every panel quietly lit at the base, programmable from the house.
