Garden Fencing in Hale, Trafford

If you've lived in Trafford for a while, you know our weather can be a bit 'testing' to say the least. Those high winds and heavy rain mean a standard off-the-shelf panel often won't cut it. That's why we specialise in heavy-duty closeboard (or feather edge) fencing. It's incredibly strong because the vertical boards overlap, creating a solid barrier that's much tougher than your basic waney lap. If your garden is particularly exposed to the wind, we often suggest 'hit and miss' fencing. It’s a clever design where the boards are fixed alternately on the front and back, allowing the wind to pass through the gaps while still keeping your privacy intact. Looking for something for the front garden? A traditional palisade or picket fence can add heaps of kerb appeal without blocking the view of your home.

Have you ever noticed how some fences start to rot at the bottom after just a couple of years? That's usually because the timber is sitting directly on the damp ground. At Insight PS, we always recommend using gravel boards—either concrete or pressure-treated timber—at the base of your panels. This simple step keeps the main fence panel away from the moisture, meaning your investment lasts much longer. We only use tanalised, pressure-treated timber that’s designed to resist rot and insect attacks. When it comes to the posts, we can install sturdy concrete posts for ultimate longevity, or high-quality wooden posts if you prefer a more natural, seamless look. We don't just 'dig a hole'; we use rapid-setting post mix to ensure every single post is rock-solid and perfectly level.

The biggest headache with a new fence is often what to do with the old, rotten one. Don't worry about trying to squeeze old panels into your car for a trip to the local tip. As part of our complete service, we'll dismantle your old boundary and take everything away. We're licensed waste carriers, so you can be sure your old materials are disposed of responsibly and legally. From the initial site clearance and excavation to the final sweep-up, we handle the whole lot. Our goal is to leave you with nothing but a beautiful new boundary and a tidy garden. It’s this attention to detail that has earned us our reputation on Checkatrade and Trust a Trader—we treat your garden with the same respect we'd treat our own.

While we're experts at securing your boundaries, Insight PS is a full-service landscaping team. Many of our Hale clients find that once the new fencing is up, it highlights other areas of the garden that might need a bit of love. Perhaps you're thinking about a new Indian sandstone patio to match your new panels, or maybe a set of matching garden gates to complete the look? From professional brickwork and garden walls to complete garden redesigns and even artificial grass installation, we can help you transform your entire outdoor space. Because we manage everything from the groundworks up, you won't have to juggle different contractors—we’ll handle the project from start to finish.
