Local to you

Fencing Contractors on Your Doorstep

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

Replacing Old Hedges with Fencing

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

Popular Fences for Dinas Powys Gardens

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.

Decking

Decking for Larger Village Gardens

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.

Questions

Dinas Powys Fencing FAQs

How quickly can you come out to Dinas Powys?

We're based in the same CF64 postcode, so we can usually visit to measure up within a few days of your call.

Can you remove an old hedge and fence the boundary instead?

Yes. We clear the hedge, take the waste away and fit a new fence along the same line.

Is my house in the Dinas Powys conservation area?

Part of the village has been a conservation area since 1971. The Vale of Glamorgan Council can confirm whether your property is inside it, and whether any extra rules apply to fences, walls or trees.

Do I need planning permission for a new fence?

Generally not below 2 metres, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles or its footpath. Listed buildings, conservation-area restrictions and Article 4 directions can change that, so check with the council if any apply.

Can you build decking on more than one level?

Yes. Multi-level decks with steps between them work well in larger gardens, in timber or composite.

Do you also do patios and landscaping?

Yes. We lay patios and paths and take on landscaping such as raised beds, retaining walls and artificial grass, so one team can do the whole garden.
