Fences, gates, decking and landscaping for Dinas Powys gardens, a few minutes from our base in the same CF64 postcode.
Local to you
Dinas Powys shares our CF64 postcode, which makes it one of the easiest places for us to reach. We can usually come out to measure up within a few days of your call.
The village has a bit of everything: older cottages near the Common, semis from between the wars, and newer estates on the edges. Gardens tend to be larger than in Cardiff, often with mature trees and long hedges, so many of our jobs here begin with clearing an overgrown boundary before the new fence goes in.
Featheredge on concrete posts is the usual choice, but we also fit composite fencing, picket fences for front gardens and trellis for climbers.
Hedges and trees
A tired privet or leylandii hedge can swallow a surprising amount of garden. We can take it out, clear the boundary and fence along the line instead, which usually gives you back a strip of usable ground and a boundary that stays the same width year after year.
Near the conservation area it pays to check first. Trees there are protected, and the council needs six weeks' notice before most work on them. Walls and fences close to listed buildings may also need consent.
See our garden clearance and tree surgery services.
Fence styles
Some of the panel styles and gates we supply and fit. They mix well, too: a solid fence along the boundary with a lighter screen around a patio, for example.
Not sure which suits your garden? Send us a photo and we'll suggest a couple of options.
Decking
With a bit more space to play with, Dinas Powys gardens suit decks on more than one level: a dining area by the house and a quieter spot further down, joined by steps. We build them in treated timber or composite, on frames sized for the job.
See raised decking and composite decking for more ideas.
Garden services
We're a fencing company first, but we can take on the rest of the garden while we're there, so one team sees the whole job through.

Artificial grass, raised beds and retaining walls to finish the garden.
