Fencing, decking and garden care
Fencing and garden work in Burnham-on-Sea
We put up fencing, gates and decking in Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge, and look after gardens there too. On this stretch of coast the wind off the Bristol Channel and the salt in the air decide what lasts, so that is where we start: fences that stand up to a winter gale, and fixings that will not rust through.
Which fence copes best with the wind in Burnham?
It depends how exposed the garden is. A solid closeboard fence gives privacy but catches the full force of a gale, so its posts and rails do the real work. Where privacy matters less, post and rail or a fence with gaps lets the wind through and takes far less strain.
Burnham faces straight out across the Bristol Channel, which has one of the largest tidal ranges anywhere, and winter storms come in off the water with nothing to slow them. Gardens on the seafront and the roads behind it take the worst of it; a few streets inland, things are calmer.
Salt is the slower problem. It gets onto everything near the sea, and cheap fixings and fittings rust much faster here than they would inland. Ask us about it when we come to measure.
Do you look after holiday homes and lets in Burnham?
Yes. We work for homes and businesses, and holiday lets along the coast are a good match for regular visits: lawns mown, hedges trimmed and borders kept down through the season. Owners who live elsewhere can send photos for a quote and get updates by WhatsApp.
Between Burnham, Berrow and Brean there are a lot of second homes and lets, and a garden that is mown and tidy is the first thing guests see. Tell us the change-over pattern and we will fit visits round it.
What do we do in Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge?
Every service we offer, as Burnham is inside our full area. Fencing is the most common call, often after a storm. Lawn mowing and hedge cutting follow, and sandy, salty coastal gardens are easier to keep on top of with a regular visit than with a big catch-up once a year.
- Fencing: Closeboard where privacy matters, open styles on the most exposed plots, with fixings chosen for salt air
- Lawn mowing: Regular mowing for homes and holiday lets through the season
- Hedge cutting: Sea-facing hedges trimmed back into shape
- Decking: Timber decks for gardens near the front

Questions
Questions about working in Burnham-on-Sea
Short answers to what people in and around Burnham-on-Sea ask us. Anything else, ring or WhatsApp 07594 230584 and ask.
My fence blew down in a storm. Can you put up a new one?
Yes. New fencing is one of our main services in Burnham. We come and look at the line, the old posts and how exposed the garden is before we quote, so the new fence suits the spot.
Do you work in Highbridge as well as Burnham?
Yes. Highbridge runs straight into Burnham and is inside our full area, so every service covers it, as do Berrow and Brean.
Can you keep a holiday let garden tidy through the summer?
Yes. Regular mowing, strimming and hedge trimming are all part of what we do. Send a few photos and tell us how often you need visits, and we can usually quote without coming out.
