Fencing in Greenwich by Gardeners Greenwich

Secure, attractive fencing is one of the most effective ways to define boundaries, protect your garden and add value to your property. At Gardeners Greenwich, we design, supply and install quality garden fencing across Greenwich and the surrounding areas, with a focus on durability, neat workmanship and clear communication from start to finish.

Professional Fencing Services in Greenwich

Our local team provides a complete fencing service, from removing old panels through to the final clean-up. We work with a range of materials and styles to suit different gardens and budgets, always installed by trained, professional gardeners and landscapers.

Types of fencing we install

• Closeboard / featheredge fencing – strong, long‑lasting privacy fencing
• Lap panel fencing – a cost‑effective option for tidy garden boundaries
• Decorative panels & trellis – ideal for climbing plants and screening
• Post and rail fencing – traditional look for larger plots and shared borders
• Concrete and timber posts – set in concrete for stability and longevity
• Gate installation and replacement – matching garden and side gates

Every fence we install in Greenwich is properly aligned, level, and concreted in for strength. We pay close attention to awkward levels, corners and existing planting so the result looks as though it has always belonged there.

Local Fencing Expertise in Greenwich

Working across Greenwich day in, day out means we are familiar with local property styles, typical soil conditions and common issues such as strong winds on exposed plots and tight access in terraced streets. We plan installations carefully to minimise disruption to neighbours and shared boundaries.

Whether you are in a period property near Greenwich Park, a riverside flat with a small courtyard, or a commercial site needing robust perimeter fencing, we adapt our approach to your specific location and constraints.

Our Step-by-Step Fencing Process

1. Enquiry & quote

Contact us by phone, email or our online form with a brief description of your fencing needs in Greenwich. If you can, share photos and approximate measurements. We use this information to provide an initial estimate and to advise whether any permissions or neighbour discussions may be needed. You’ll receive a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras and a realistic timescale based on our current schedule and stock availability.

2. Survey (virtual or on-site)

For straightforward jobs, a virtual survey using your photos and measurements may be sufficient. For more complex gardens, shared boundaries or level changes, we arrange an on-site visit at a time that suits you. We confirm measurements, check ground conditions, access routes and any obstacles such as trees or sheds, then finalise materials, fence height and line. Once confirmed, we book an installation date and order materials.

3. Installation day

On the agreed date, our team arrives on time, protects any access areas, and gets to work. Old fencing is carefully removed if included, posts are set out and concreted in, then panels or boards are fitted, levelled and secured. We keep noise and disruption to a minimum, particularly in shared or communal gardens, and tidy thoroughly before we leave.

Transparent Fencing Pricing in Greenwich

Fencing costs depend mainly on the type and height of fencing, the length of the run, and access to your garden. Closeboard fencing with concrete posts and gravel boards will typically cost more than simple lap panels with timber posts, but will also last longer.

We price each fencing job individually rather than using one-size-fits-all figures. Your quote will break down labour, materials and waste removal separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We can sometimes suggest adjustments – such as mixing decorative panels with standard panels – to suit different budgets while still achieving a smart, consistent finish.

Why Choose Professional Fencing Over DIY?

Fencing appears straightforward, but getting it level, stable and long-lasting is demanding work. As professional installers, we ensure posts are set to the correct depth, concrete is used appropriately for local soil conditions, and panels are fixed securely to withstand wind and everyday wear.

DIY fencing often fails due to shallow posts, poor alignment or underestimated materials, leading to leaning panels and early replacement. By using trained gardeners with the right tools and experience, you save time, avoid heavy digging and lifting, and gain a fence that looks better and lasts longer.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Gardeners Greenwich operates with full public liability cover for your peace of mind. This protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your property or a neighbour’s property while we work.

We also hold goods in transit insurance, meaning your fencing materials are protected while being transported to your site. All work is carried out by our own fully insured, professional team, following safe working practices and industry standards. We treat your home and garden with respect, keeping access routes as clear and safe as possible throughout the installation.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to balance strong, secure fencing with thoughtful care for your garden and the wider environment. Where possible, we recommend responsibly sourced timber and pressure-treated products to extend lifespan and reduce the need for frequent replacements.

During installation we take care to protect existing lawns, borders and paving. Old fencing is removed and disposed of responsibly, with recyclable materials separated where facilities exist. If needed, we can advise on aftercare, including when to paint or stain your new fence and how to plant climbers or hedging without compromising stability.

Real-World Use Cases and Complementary Services

Fencing often goes hand-in-hand with wider garden work. As a full-service local gardening company in Greenwich, we regularly combine fencing with:

• Hedge trimming – reshaping or reducing hedges alongside new fencing for a clean boundary
• Garden maintenance – regular visits to keep beds, borders and paths tidy around your new fence
• Lawn mowing – edging and mowing to ensure grass meets the fence neatly and safely
• Patio cleaning – pressure washing adjacent hard surfaces to refresh the whole garden area
• Tree surgery – selective pruning or removal where trees are affecting, shading or damaging fences

By managing these tasks together, we can plan access, timing and waste removal more efficiently, reducing disruption and often lowering overall costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fencing in Greenwich typically cost?

The cost of fencing in Greenwich varies depending on the length of the run, fence height, material, and access to your garden. Closeboard fencing with concrete posts and gravel boards will usually cost more than basic lap panels with timber posts, but offers a longer lifespan. We provide a clear, itemised quote after discussing your requirements and, where needed, carrying out a survey. This shows labour, materials and waste removal separately, so you can make informed choices and adjust specifications to suit your budget.

Can you offer same-day or urgent fencing work?

Same-day fencing installation is rarely practical due to the need to plan materials and labour, but we understand that storm damage or security issues can be urgent. In these situations we prioritise emergency enquiries in Greenwich and can often provide a temporary make-safe solution quickly, followed by a full repair or replacement as soon as materials arrive. If you contact us with photos and measurements, we can usually give an initial assessment and timescale the same day, then confirm once we have checked availability.

Are you insured while working on my property?

Yes. Gardeners Greenwich is fully insured to carry out fencing work. We hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we are on site, and goods in transit insurance to cover your fencing materials while they are being delivered. Our team members are trained and follow safe working practices at all times. We are happy to provide proof of insurance on request before work begins, and we always aim to keep disruption to a minimum for you and your neighbours.

What’s included in a typical fencing service?

A standard fencing service includes initial advice, measurement of the fence line, supply of posts, panels, gravel boards and fixings, and full installation with posts set in concrete. If agreed in advance, it can also include removal and disposal of your old fence and fitting of a new gate. Minor levelling along the fence line and a thorough tidy-up are always part of the job. Painting, staining, major landscaping or structural works are not automatically included but can often be added and quoted for separately.

How far in advance do I need to book?

Lead times vary throughout the year. In busier months, such as spring and early summer, fencing slots in Greenwich can book up quickly, so it is wise to get in touch a few weeks in advance if you have a deadline. However, we keep some flexibility for smaller or urgent jobs and for repairs following bad weather. Once you contact us, we will explain our current availability, discuss any time constraints you have, and aim to schedule a survey and installation date that works for you.
