Landscaping & Fencing in Southwold
Homes in Southwold
Much of Southwold is a conservation area. Before you plan a new fence or patio, check whether your property falls inside it and mention the answer when you send details. With an older cottage near the sea, a short description of the space, what is on the boundary now and what you want in its place helps a great deal.
“Prompt quote and equally prompt attention to the work. Wall made safe and rebuilt. Existing bricks used so that it blended in perfectly. Very pleased.”
What matters for landscaping & fencing in Southwold
Landscaping & Fencing in Southwold begins with your description of the space, the work planned and the location. Under any paving goes a well-dug, compacted sub-base, and that layer decides how long patios and paths last. Where the ground is wet, fencing holds up longer with its posts in concrete or on concrete spurs.
- Say whether the house is in the conservation area and how close it is to the sea.
- Plan fence heights with the general guide in mind: up to two metres, or up to one metre next to a road, without planning permission.
- If a new gate is part of the plan, we can build it to fit and hang it.
- Tell us what is already there, such as an old fence, a worn path or an area you would like paved.
