St Athan Fencing and Landscaping

Our landscaping services focus on what is commonly referred to as hard landscaping where we deal with the 'hard' , mostly man made materials rather than plants. Although we do also provide some soft landscaping services such as laying turf . However, it is a hard landscaping, which sets to the scene for the soft landscaping to be laid. Fencing does play an important part as a background to your garden project, so we can help ensure you select fencing suitable for your garden landscaping project.

Likewise for companies your particular business may not need high security fencing and you want to create a pleasant outdoor space for your employees which doesn't feel like a prison yard - we can help with that too.

We can help with your decision on what type of fencing may be most suitable for your needs and when you've selected we will make sure that only quality manufactured materials are used. However, with any fencing the backbone of a fence will be the quality of the posting installed. We take no shortcuts ensuring that all our posting is set deep enough to minimise movement - no matter what the Welsh weather can throw at it. Firm posting allow panels to be tightly set in and as a result minimise movement an any subsequent damage caused by movement.

Garden Fencing St Athan

Garden fencing forms the bulk of the fencing work we carry out on of that wooden featheredge fencing is the most popular. We know that different layout, tastes and boundaries will require difference types of fencing. Especially from the front to the back of a property. Sometimes a lot of thought goes into the fencing for the front of a property as this will play an important factor in determining the instant kerb appeal of your house. Typically the fences will be a lower height to allow better visibility of the front of your house, which can often include metal railings to rather than fence panels.

Wooden Fencing St Athan

Wooden fence panels continue to be the most common in gardens and also the most common for replacement. It's easy to see why as it is the most widely available, relatively cheap compared to most other alternatives and will last reasonable well - as long as it is looked after and you do not choose really cheap fence panels! You will see the vast majority of wooden fence panels in domestic home gardens - particularly back gardens where wood tends to blend in with other garden plants and trees well. They tend to be used for providing privacy in back gardens where the majority will be six foot high in front garden they will normally be three or four feet high to allow greater visibility of the front of a property and be used more as an easy way of determining boundary lines. There are a wide variety of style and heights for wooden fencing and we've outlined a few of the more popular style below. Whichever style you choose the timber merchants we use will properly treat the fence panels we use to make them more moisture resistant to delay the gradual weathering and rotting process for many years. To preserve the life of your wooden fen panels even further we would recommend fitting with concrete posts and a concrete gravel board at the bottom which forms a barrier between the panel and the ground.

Composite Fencing St Athan

As mentioned, whilst door fencing remain the most popular fence panel for residential properties there has been tremendous growth in alternative fencing materials other than wood. The main ones being plastic, composite and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), which essentially are very similar to each other and we can access a number of these from merchants in the area but we are aware than many companies manufacturing these fence panels will have these available to order online. If you do have your heart set on a particular style you have seen we are more than happy to fit these for you but please make sure you have ordered enough. If you are in some doubt as to the exact amount your need due to the shape of your garden then we will happily measure up for you and confirm the exact quantities required for us to complete the fence installation for you.

Some composite and PVC fencing panels are made to replicate wood but has the benefit of requiring no treatment with many coming with guarantees of twenty years. There are also some which can simply be fitted into existing concrete posts so if your wooden panels need replacing but your posts do not, then some composites would be ideal.

Plastic is a generic term encapsulating all types of plastics but the main specific plastic used for many outdoor products is PVC. It it hard and robust, so ideal for fencing but much lighter in weight than wooden fencing - especially those that are hollow with internal webbing to give extra strength and rigidity. Once fitted you'll barely need to do anything with them for the next decade or two!

Garden Gates St Athan

Gates are a common addition to our fencing work but also make up a good proportion of jobs in their own right - especially side garden gates. Since the side gap varies massively from one house to the next most side gates will require additional fencing to create a flush closure so side access to the back of your house. The most common side garden gate width is 3 foot but if you wish for wider gates to make things easy to take larger loads from the front to the back of your house then that's no problem. Let us know the width you want and we can adjust the gate and fence section accordingly. Also let us know what ironmongery you would want with your side gate, whether it is a simple latch, inside bolt or key lock we can accommodate whatever you need.

Wooden Gates St Athan

When choosing wooden gates we have made many over the years for driveways and side gates. Wood continues to be popular due to is cost compared to metal & composite gates and it ease to work with. It is relatively easy to make a bespoke sized gate on site - especially a side garden gate. We can utilise fence panels to infill additional space if you have a large gap down the side of your property to ensure privacy. We use treated wood so maintenance will be similar to our garden fences, so following your wooden gate installation you will not need to carry out any initial treatment on your new gate.

Decking St Athan

If you are planning to have new garden decking in St Athan then please do get in touch with us have a look at what you have in mind. You may be surprised how versatile a decked area can be and how multiple raised levels with some steps can provide you with an large entertaining an useful outdoor are which you may have though not possible due to the shape and slope of your garden.

Having multiple decking levels will enable you to segment activities such as having a dining and barbeque area one one level and a more relax zone or children's play area on another.

From a visual perspective it will provide a great canvas for you to be creative with your garden space. As well as adding furniture to your decking area the addition of pot plants can create a unique character to your space - combining climbing or trailing plants from one level to another will provide you with a visually stunning environment in the summer months. In addition, depending on your slope, height and size of your raised decking we can incorporate storage underneath your decking too.

Composite Decking St Athan

Composite decking in St Athan is definitely on the up - and we aren't just referring to a raised decking area! If your still on the fence regarding whether to go for timber of composite our specialists can talk you through some of the more common reasons why people choose composite and whether of not you feel this would be right for you.

Understanding your budget, aesthetic ambitions and environmental position may shape your final decision more than you think but hopefully you'll be happy with the final outcome.

Whilst composite decking is a combination of more than one material the one predominant material is plastic with a small amount of wood fibres. It is the fact that it isn't 100 percent plastic that it is called a composite whereas plastic or PVC decking is all plastic. Quite often the two terms are used interchangeably but they are not exactly the same.

Composite Decking Fitters St Athan

Whilst many companies will be happy fitting composite deck boards as an alternative to timber this will be often be onto a wooden frame. This is quite a common practise and is a more cost effective way of being able to afford the move to composite decking boarding. This is sometimes also mixed with timber balustrades and the cost of these can add significantly to a composite decking project and stretch the budget too far.

A number of composite decking manufacturers have their own frame and subframe systems, which some decking installers will shy away from, our team of composite decking installers do not. These frames and subframes will either be composite or aluminium, which are both designed to last a very long time. They are excellent systems but they will add a lot more to the total cost of your decking, which is why timber joists are so often used instead. You will not need to carry out maintenance on a timber frame so a top layer of composite deck boards if generally a very good compromise to get good overall value for a composite decking area.

Frequently Asked Garden Fencing, Gate & Decking Questions:

  • What is the most popular garden fencing?

    Still the most pupular garden fencing is wooden fence panels - specifically Featheredged or Closed board panels. These are most cost effective and as long as you select proper dip treated panels these should easily last 10 years. For replacement fencing if previous wooden posts had been installed then most people will select concrete posts with a gravel board at the bottom to protect the wooden panel from coming into contact with ground and allowing damp to soak into the panel. Hit and miss wooden fencing has grown in popularity in recent years as has composite fencing. 

    Both composite and plastic fencing prices can vary dramatically based on the manufacturer and design you choose. However, these will not need any maintenance for about 20 years so ideal to install and say goodbye to fence treating for a long time.

  • What's the difference between composite and UPVC fencing?

    The difference is quite subtle and in most cases only a few percent difference in compositions. Composite as the name implies is composed of more than one material. Most composites only use 2 main materials: plastic and wood. The wood will only be a few percent of the total and is essentially very small wood chippings, almost dust which is added to the UPVC in the manufacturing process. Since a pure plastic or UPVC fence panel is only made up with UPVC it will commonly be referred to as plastic fencing although the reality is that they are very very similar. Both will often be made using recycled plastic and wood respectively and since they will last a lot longer once installed, there is a good argument regarding total environmental benefits since you won't use repeated resources replacing them a much as you would for a wooden equivalent. 

  • How often do I need to treat wooden fence panels?

    The answer to this will mainly be influenced by the type of wooden fence panel you have.

    If you initially selected a cheap dip-treated wooden fence panel these will ideally need touching up with treatment most seasons to get them to remain in good condition for a decade.  this is one of the main reason to check what wooden panels you are being quoted for as the better pressure treated panels will can last up to 10 years without treatment depending on the conditions they are subjected to although it would be advisable to apply a good quality fence panel treatment every 3-4 years to maintain the health and aesthetics of your wooden panels. 

  • What height can a garden fence be?

    The exact answer to this question will be dependent on your location and what may be included within the deeds to your property. As a general rule of thumb most back garden fences can be six foot. If you are on a slop at the lower end the fence may be higher than this but 6 foot from you neighbours side. Front gardens will generally be lower than this. It is your responsibility to check what is allowed if it is likely to be different in height to your previous fence and it may also be prudent to inform your neighbour if this is the case too. We we will need to do some work from your neighbours side to install a new fence and clearly we don't want to be in the middle of a neighbour fence feude! 

  • Why choose us for fencing in St Athan?

    At J&Z Fencing have years of experience in fencing and can also complete a full garden landscaping and fencing project. Once company, one invoice and no squabbling over who didn't do what from one contractor to another and as far as the fencing is concerned we only use the best materials and take no shortcuts in ground preparation and post installation ensuring your have a quality fence, built to last for many years.

  • Can I choose the locks for my garden gate?

    Yes - more often than not, we will simply ask you what ironmongery you would want for your garden gate. We can incorporate latches, bolts, and full key locking mechanisms, if that's what you require.

  • Can you supply and fit double garden gates?

    Absolutely. We've installed a number of these, and it is a great option to enable you to maximise the thoroughfare at the side of your property making it very easy and accessible to when taken large items through to your back garden.  

  • What is the most popular garden gate in St Athan?

    We are still finding featheredge wooden gates the most popular overall for side garden gates, followed by the more expensive tongue & groove wooden garden gate.

    Composite garden gates are still quite a small percentage, but growing and metal gates are the most popular option if you want to open up light from the side of your property and are not that bothered about privacy.

  • How long should I expect timber decking last?

    This will depend on how well it has been looked after. Poorly treated (in other words decking which hasn't been treated at all) will be lucky to last around 10 years. If you have treated your decking annually you should see this reach over 15 years. If you have treated your decking every couple of years and used good quality deck treatments you can get up to 15 years of good use. This may be less if the location of your decking is subjected to a much damper environment such as below large trees which will also mean more bird dropping and debris landing on your decking which will age it more.

  • What's the main advantage composite decking has over timber?

    The main advantage composite decking has over timber is its durability and low maintenance. Composite decking is made from a combination of wood fibers and plastic, making it resistant to rot, warping, and fading. Unlike timber, composite decking does not require staining, sealing, or painting, saving homeowners time and money in the long run. Additionally, composite decking is more environmentally friendly as it is often made from recycled materials. Overall, composite decking provides a longer-lasting and more low-maintenance option for outdoor living spaces compared to traditional timber decking.

  • Do you provide on old decking removal service?

    Yes, we can take away your old decking and dispose of it through proper recycling channels. There is a cost to us so we do offer this service for a minimal additional charge.
