Garden Fencing Alwoodley — TJM Landscapes

TJM Landscapes installs garden fencing across Alwoodley and the LS17 area of North Leeds. We’re Tom and Declan — a family-run landscaping team with over ten years fitting close-board fencing, composite panels, hardwood, and timber gates for residential properties across North Leeds and West Yorkshire. Alwoodley is one of the most sought-after suburbs in Leeds — leafy, private, and defined by spacious properties from Alwoodley Park and Primley Park to the prestigious Sandmoor Estate and Wigton Lane. Three golf clubs, generous plots, and well-presented gardens set the character of the area.

Fencing for Alwoodley’s Large Properties

Alwoodley’s housing is predominantly large detached and semi-detached — properties on Sandmoor Lane, Wigton Lane, Alwoodley Lane, and Primley Park Road typically have rear and side boundaries of 60–100 metres, and on the larger plots in the Sandmoor Estate and along Wigton Lane, 120 metres or more is not uncommon. Full perimeter fence replacements and new installations are TJM’s most frequent job in LS17. Longer runs make proper post specification particularly important for long-term performance: posts concreted at the correct centres, with gravel boards at the base to prevent ground-level rot through Yorkshire’s wet winters.

At Alwoodley’s property level, close-board remains a practical and widely chosen option for its strength and full privacy. Composite fencing is increasingly the first choice for homeowners who want a consistent, contemporary finish — no annual staining, no greening, no change in appearance from one year to the next. Hardwood — iroko or oak — suits properties where authentic natural timber warmth is the priority and a 25-year installation is expected. Painted close-board in a heritage green or deep grey is growing in popularity at the premium end of the North Leeds market, where the fence is designed as part of the garden’s overall aesthetic rather than simply a functional boundary. TJM discusses all four options and advises on what suits the specific property, boundary length, and finish requirements at the free site visit.

Timber Gates in Alwoodley

TJM builds and installs timber gates to measure across Alwoodley and LS17 — from standard side access gates to full driveway gates in hardwood or treated softwood. Manual gates are built to the client’s specification and hung on heavy-duty galvanised hinges as part of the same installation as the adjacent fencing run. Electric-ready gate infrastructure is also available: TJM installs the gate frame and posts to a specification that accommodates a gate automation kit at a later date, without the need to re-hang the gates when the motor is added. A gate that matches the fence material and finish completes the boundary rather than interrupting it, and is a common element of full-perimeter fencing projects on Alwoodley’s larger properties.

Fence Repairs in Alwoodley

TJM handles fence repairs across Alwoodley and LS17 — replacing individual panels after storm or wind damage, concreting in new posts where originals have rotted at ground level, re-hanging gates where hinges or fixings have failed, and replacing failed gravel boards at the base of older runs. If it is unclear whether to repair or replace, TJM assesses the fence at the free site visit and gives an honest recommendation on the most cost-effective approach. Call 07745 240049 for a prompt response to storm damage anywhere in LS17.

Fencing Costs in Alwoodley

Close-board or feather-edge fencing in LS17 typically costs £85–£130 per metre supplied and installed. Composite fencing runs £130–£200+ per metre; hardwood £140–£200+ per metre. A full perimeter fence on a standard Alwoodley detached property — typically 80 metres at composite rates — runs approximately £10,400–£16,000. On larger plots on Sandmoor Lane or Wigton Lane with 120–150 metres or more of perimeter, a composite installation typically runs £15,600–£30,000+ depending on height, material grade, and gate specification.

Timber side gates start from £350. Manual driveway gates from £700. Electric-ready driveway gate infrastructure is priced on site assessment. TJM provides a clear written quote after a free site visit covering all materials, labour, and gate work. The final price depends on fence length, height, material, ground conditions, and gate specification — accurate pricing for Alwoodley’s varied plot sizes requires seeing the boundary in person.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fencing in Alwoodley

What fencing material is best suited to Alwoodley’s large properties?

There is no single right answer — it depends on the property, the boundary, and the homeowner’s priorities. Close-board remains the most practical and widely used choice for its strength and privacy at all scales. Composite fencing is increasingly the first choice for Alwoodley homeowners who want a fence that maintains a consistent, contemporary finish without annual treatment — particularly on properties where garden presentation matters year-round. Hardwood — iroko or oak — provides authentic natural warmth at a premium price point and is appropriate where a 25-year installation and genuine timber character are the priority. Painted close-board in a heritage green or deep grey is growing in popularity on the premium end of the LS17 market, where the fence is part of the garden’s designed aesthetic. TJM advises on all options at the free site visit based on the specific property and boundary requirements.

Can you install timber driveway gates in Alwoodley?

Yes. TJM builds and installs timber gates to measure across Alwoodley and LS17 — from standard side access gates to full driveway gates in hardwood or treated softwood. Manual gates are built to specification and hung as part of the same installation as the adjacent fencing run. Electric-ready gate infrastructure is also available, allowing a gate automation kit to be added at a later date without re-hanging. Gates are quoted as part of the overall boundary project, ensuring consistent material and finish from fence to gate throughout the perimeter.

How long does it take to fence a large Alwoodley property?

A full perimeter fence replacement on a standard Alwoodley detached property — typically 60–100 metres of boundary — takes two to four days depending on ground conditions, the number of gates, and whether existing fencing needs to be removed first. On larger plots on Sandmoor Lane or Wigton Lane with 120–200 metres or more, TJM typically programmes four to seven days. An accurate timeline is provided at the free site visit once the full boundary and conditions have been assessed — we do not estimate from a description.
