Garden Fencing in Low Fell
Booking garden fencing work is a big decision — you're living with the result for years. Our Low Fell customers pick WM Driveways because we explain the trade-offs plainly, price transparently, and don't disappear once the deposit is paid.
What we cover on this job
Garden Fencing works in Low Fell 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 NE9 area — the choices you'll actually be making, and the local factors we plan around before a spade goes in the ground.
The advantages worth knowing
Options to pick from
Feather-edge with concrete posts
Robust, weather-resistant boundary fencing that lasts.
Closeboard panels
Clean-lined panels for a tidy, uniform look along the boundary.
Trellis toppers
Extra height and privacy without a solid wall of timber.
Why the area shapes the spec
Low Fell is characterised by affluent suburb of Victorian villas and generous detached driveways. That means the finish should read sympathetically against period brickwork and stone. We routinely work across Gateshead and Wrekenton too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of garden fencing spec that actually holds up here.

Step by step
Site visit
We come to you, measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk through what you actually want.
Surface install
The finished surface is laid to the agreed spec with careful attention to lines, levels and joints.
Prep & excavation
The area is dug out to the correct depth, spoil removed, and edges set out precisely.
Sub-base build
Compacted MOT type-1 (or specified equivalent) laid in layers to the depth the surface needs.

Common questions from homeowners
Will you tidy up after the job?+
Always. The site is swept and washed down at the end of each day, and we do a full clear-down and handover walk when the job is finished.
What about drainage and SUDS?+
Where required we build in a soakaway or connect to an existing surface water drain — never into foul drainage.
How long does the work take?+
Most residential garden fencing installations take between two and five working days once site prep starts. Timings depend on size, weather and how much excavation the existing surface needs.
Are you insured?+
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.
Can you work around parked cars?+
On Durham 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.
