Garden Fencing in Whickham
Whickham sits in the NE16 postcode district and is known for hilltop village feel with larger detached family homes and long driveways. That mix of properties needs a garden fencing approach that respects the surroundings — which is exactly what WM Driveways delivers on every job.
What you actually get
Garden Fencing works in Whickham 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 NE16 area — the choices you'll actually be making, and the local factors we plan around before a spade goes in the ground.
Local considerations we plan for
Whickham is characterised by hilltop village feel with larger detached family homes and long driveways. That means gradients need careful management for drainage and vehicle access. We routinely work across Low Fell and Dunston 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
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.
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.
Can I see previous jobs?+
Yes — we can point out completed work in and around Whickham and neighbouring areas so you can see the finish in person.
Are you insured?+
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.
