The service
What Fencing
Involves
Fencing marks your boundary, keeps children and pets safe, gives you privacy and shelters your garden from wind. It is also one of the most visible parts of your property, so a leaning or broken fence quickly makes a garden look neglected.
Fencing is where Paul started. He began working weekends with his dad at 12 years old and has been setting posts and hanging panels for around 25 years since. That experience shows in the details: posts set to the right depth, lines that run true and gates that close properly.
Most fences fail at the posts, not the panels. Posts set too shallow, or in the wrong material, rock and rot within a few years. Paul sets posts properly from the start so your fence stands up to wind and weather.
Why it matters
What Happens
If It's Left or Done Badly
Leaning and collapse
Rotten or shallow posts give way in strong winds, often taking several panels with them.
Security gaps
Broken panels and loose gates let pets out and make your garden easier to get into.
Neighbour disputes
A falling fence can damage a neighbour's property and cause friction over the boundary.
Rising costs
Patching a failing fence year after year usually costs more than replacing it properly once.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Re-using rotten posts with new panels
- Setting posts too shallow for the fence height
- Choosing panels that can't cope with exposed, windy gardens
- Not agreeing the boundary line with neighbours first

In detail
Fencing:
Options & Methods
Fence styles
Close-board fencing gives strong, solid privacy and copes well in exposed gardens. Panel fencing is quick to install and comes in many designs. Slatted and decorative fences suit modern gardens and front boundaries where you want a lighter look.
Posts: timber or concrete
Concrete posts and gravel boards don't rot and are ideal for long-term durability. Timber posts give a natural look throughout. Paul will recommend the right combination for your garden and budget.
Gates
Side gates, garden gates and driveway gates are hung on strong posts with quality hinges and latches so they close cleanly and securely.
Storm damage and repairs
After high winds, a section of fence can sometimes be repaired rather than fully replaced. Paul will give you an honest view on whether a repair will last or if replacement is the better value.
Fence height and boundaries
Garden fences are typically limited in height without planning permission, with lower limits next to roads. Check with your local council if you're unsure, and agree the line with neighbours before work begins.
Making your fence last longer
Gravel boards keep timber off wet ground, and treatment helps protect against rot. Keeping plants and soil from piling against the fence also reduces damp and decay.
What affects the cost of fencing?
Every job is priced individually after a free site visit. The main factors are:
- Length and height of the boundary
- Fence style: panels, close-board or slatted
- Timber or concrete posts and gravel boards
- Removal and disposal of old fencing
- Gates and fittings
- Ground conditions and access
Your written quote sets out exactly what's included, so there are no surprises once work begins. A deposit secures your start date, and the balance can be paid by bank transfer or card.

Why Homeowners Choose Paul
for Fencing
When you book fencing with LP Home and Landscapes, you're not handed from a salesperson to a subcontractor you've never met. Paul Eastwood visits, measures and quotes himself, then runs the job from the first day to the final walk-through. Where a specific task needs a specialist, he brings in people he trusts and stays responsible for the result.
Paul has around 25 years of hands-on experience. He started working weekends with his dad at 12, and over the years built up skills across landscaping, building and roofing because he was tired of seeing so-called installers let customers down. The layout, installation and finish are done the way he would want them at his own home.
He's building the business so his children can one day take it on, which means every job has to be one he's proud to put the family name to. That's why every installation is backed by a minimum 10-year guarantee and £1m public liability insurance.
