Fencing, decking and garden care

Fencing and garden work in Weston-super-Mare

We cover Weston-super-Mare for every service: fencing, gates and decking, hedge cutting, lawn mowing, garden maintenance and clearance. Weston is in North Somerset, which counts as Somerset for us. A lot of our work there is on newer homes at the edge of town, where builders leave bare boundaries and plain gardens.

What do new-build gardens in Weston usually need?

On the big new estates such as Haywood Village and Locking Parklands, gardens often come with a basic boundary and thin topsoil over compacted ground. Owners tend to want a taller, more private fence, a deck to sit out on, and a lawn that actually grows. Those are all jobs we do.

Builders' fences are often the cheapest thing that meets the plan. Replacing one with closeboard gives proper privacy between close neighbours, and we will talk through the height so you stay within the normal limits.

Ground on new plots can be full of rubble just under the surface, so we look before we price a deck or a fence line.

Who handles planning questions in Weston?

North Somerset Council, not Somerset Council. A normal garden fence up to 2 metres, or 1 metre next to a road, usually needs no permission. On new estates, also check your deeds: some developments carry covenants about front boundaries and fence heights.

If a fence or a raised deck is on a corner plot or close to a pavement, the 1 metre limit beside a road is the one people miss. We are happy to quote while you check.

What else do we do across Weston?

Everything on our list. The older parts of town, on the slopes below Worlebury Hill, have bigger gardens with established hedges and lawns that want regular care. Along the seafront, wind off the bay is the main thing to plan a fence around.

  • Fencing: Closeboard to replace thin builders' fences on new estates, with the height talked through
  • Decking: Timber decks for new-build gardens, priced after we have seen the ground
  • Lawn mowing: Regular cuts for established gardens on the hill, or a one-off
  • Garden maintenance: Strimming, bush and shrub trimming and keeping borders in hand

Questions

Questions about working in Weston-super-Mare

Short answers to what people in and around Weston-super-Mare ask us. Anything else, ring or WhatsApp 07594 230584 and ask.

Is Weston-super-Mare inside your area?

Yes. Weston is in North Somerset, which we count as Somerset, and it sits within our full service area, so every service we offer covers it.

Can you replace the fence the builder put up on our new house?

Yes. Swapping a basic builders' fence for closeboard is a common job on the newer estates. Check your deeds for any covenant on boundaries first, then we will come and measure.

Do I need permission for a fence in Weston?

Usually not, for a fence up to 2 metres, or 1 metre beside a road. Planning in Weston is handled by North Somerset Council, so ask them if your home is listed or the boundary is unusual.

Can you build a deck on a new-build garden?

Yes. We come and look first, because new-build plots often hide rubble under the topsoil, and that changes how the deck's frame goes in.
