Garden Fencing

Garden Fencing in Hertfordshire

Fencing defines the boundary, provides the privacy and sets the tone for everything inside it. Matthew Oliver Landscapes designs and installs garden fencing across Hertfordshire in timber and composite — from contemporary horizontal slatted panels to traditional close board — chosen to complement the garden scheme rather than contradict it. Every specification starts with the design, not the fence panel.

why choose us

WHY MATTHEW OLIVER LANDSCAPES

Fencing chosen and installed without reference to the overall garden design can undermine an otherwise excellent project. Matthew Oliver Landscapes selects fencing as part of the design process — ensuring the boundary treatment complements everything else in the garden and contributes to rather than detracts from the overall aesthetic.

It's also a job where the posts decide everything. Depth, spacing and how they're set are what keep a fence standing straight through a Hertfordshire winter — and no amount of quality in the panels makes up for getting them wrong. We set every post properly, so the line you sign off is the line still there in ten years.

WHAT WE OFFER

Complete fencing Solutions

Every boundary is specified around your garden's design, the privacy you need and the look of your property — quality materials, proper posts and a line that stays true.

01 Horizontal Slatted Contemporary slatted panels, with the gaps set to give privacy at eye level while still letting light through.
02 Composite Fencing Colour-stable and low maintenance — no annual treating, no warping, and the same look in year eight as year one.
03 Close Board & Panel The traditional option done properly: gravel boards, capping rails and posts set deep enough to stay upright.
04 Post & Rail For paddock boundaries and open aspects, where the point is to mark the line without blocking the view beyond it.
05 Trellis & Screens Height added where a solid fence would feel oppressive, and a frame for climbers to soften the boundary over time.
06 Gates Made and hung to match the fencing, on furniture that will not sag or seize. A gate that drops is the first thing anyone notices.
07 Integrated Planting Boundaries designed with the planting rather than before it, so the fence becomes a backdrop instead of the thing you look at.
08 Removal & Disposal Old panels, posts and concrete taken out and carted away, with the boundary left secure between the two.

Chosen with the garden, not after it

Fencing picked without reference to the design can undermine an otherwise excellent garden. The boundary is specified as part of the scheme — so it sits behind the planting and the hard landscaping rather than competing with them.
