Garden Fencing in Walker
If you have been searching for a reliable installer of garden fencing installations in Walker, this page walks through how we approach the work, what your options are, and what a realistic project on a post-war semis looks like.
What we cover on this job
Garden Fencing works in Walker 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 NE6 area — the choices you'll actually be making, and the local factors we plan around before a spade goes in the ground.
Where it earns its keep
Materials and finishes
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.
Local considerations we plan for
Walker is characterised by post-war semis, ex-council estates and quiet residential cul-de-sacs. That means levels and drainage are usually straightforward but neighbouring driveways set the visual tone. We routinely work across Byker and Wallsend too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of garden fencing spec that actually holds up here.

What a typical week on site looks like
Site visit
We come to you, measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk through what you actually want.
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.
Surface install
The finished surface is laid to the agreed spec with careful attention to lines, levels and joints.
Where this works best
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
What about drainage and SUDS?+
Where required we build in a soakaway or connect to an existing surface water drain — never into foul drainage.
Can you match the existing paving?+
Where products are still in production, yes. Where they aren't, we'll show you the closest current options and how the transition will read on the ground.
