Garden Fencing in Dunston
WM Driveways is a Newcastle-based team covering Dunston and the surrounding Gateshead Council area. We specialise in garden fencing installations and treat every job — from a small NE11 frontage to a full-property overhaul — with the same attention to detail.
The short version
Garden Fencing works in Dunston generally break down into three phases: careful prep, correct sub-base, and a well-detailed surface. Skip any one and the job looks fine for a summer, then starts to move.
On this page we've set out how WM Driveways approaches garden fencing in the NE11 area — the choices you'll actually be making, and the local factors we plan around before a spade goes in the ground.

What this surface does well
Working in your area
Dunston is characterised by riverside residential streets near the MetroCentre and Team Valley. That means we tailor the spec to the street rather than dropping in an off-the-shelf build. We routinely work across Gateshead and Whickham too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of garden fencing spec that actually holds up here.

Common questions from homeowners
Do you cover my postcode?+
Yes — Dunston (NE11) is inside our regular coverage area. We work right across Gateshead and the wider North East, so travel isn't a problem.
Do you offer a guarantee?+
We stand behind our workmanship and manufacturer product warranties apply on the surfaces themselves — we'll set the specifics out clearly in your quote.
Can you work around parked cars?+
On Ellison Road-style layouts we normally coordinate access up front so vehicles can be moved for the working day. It rarely needs more than a short conversation with neighbours.
Can I see previous jobs?+
Yes — we can point out completed work in and around Dunston and neighbouring areas so you can see the finish in person.
Do I need planning permission?+
For most private residential garden fencing installations the answer is no, provided the surface is permeable or drains to a soakaway within the property. We'll flag anything unusual before we start.
