Garden Transformation in Colchester

New wooden fence with lattice top installed in a residential backyard, featuring green lawn and budding trees, enhancing the property's privacy and aesthetic appeal.

Project Overview

At Fencing Colchester, we recently had the pleasure of transforming a local Colchester garden with a new fencing solution that not only enhances privacy and security but also adds a touch of aesthetic flair. This detailed case study aims to showcase our approach from initiation to completion.


Initial Consultation

The project began with an in-depth consultation with our client who desired a robust yet aesthetically pleasing fence. After evaluating the property, we recommended close board fence panels, known for their durability and appearance. The use of slotted concrete posts and a recessed concrete gravel board was decided to provide extra stability and longevity.


Design Phase

The design phase involved meticulous planning to ensure that every component of the fencing would meet both the functional requirements and visual expectations of the client. The choice of a 300mm tall box trellis as a topping was particularly aimed at enhancing the garden’s aesthetic while also allowing light and air to filter through, creating a less oppressive boundary.


Installation Process

Our skilled team commenced the installation by carefully marking out the boundary lines and ensuring that all measurements were precise. The slotted concrete posts were installed first, set deeply into the ground and secured with concrete for maximum stability. Following this, the close board panels were carefully slotted into place, ensuring a seamless look across the entire length of the fence.


The installation of the recessed gravel boards followed, providing a clean and neat finish along the bottom edge of the fence. These boards not only enhance the appearance but also protect the wooden panels from direct contact with the ground, thereby prolonging their life.


The final touch was the installation of the box trellis, which was expertly affixed to the top of the fence panels. This feature not only added a decorative flair but will also support climbing plants in the future, integrating greenery into the structured design.


Completion and Review

The project was completed on schedule and to the high standards that Fencing Colchester is known for. Our client expressed great satisfaction with the final result, appreciating both the functionality and the visual improvement to their garden. We conducted a final walkthrough to ensure every detail was perfected and provided tips on maintaining the fence to ensure its longevity.


At Fencing Colchester, we take great pride in delivering high-quality solutions that meet our clients' needs while also enhancing their outdoor living spaces. This project is a testament to our commitment to excellence and client satisfaction.
