Garden Fencing Headingley — TJM Landscapes

TJM Landscapes installs garden fencing across Headingley and the LS6 area of North Leeds. We’re Tom and Declan — a family-run landscaping team with over ten years fitting close-board fencing, feather-edge panels, composite fencing, and timber gates across the full range of Headingley’s housing — from the Victorian terrace streets near the stadium and the universities to the large Edwardian semis and detached villas of Far Headingley and Weetwood.

Headingley is a suburb with two distinct characters. The central area, close to Headingley Stadium, the Otley Road bars, and the universities, is dominated by Victorian through-terraces and larger converted properties — many managed as letting properties and HMOs. Far Headingley and Weetwood are quieter and more residential, with spacious family semis on tree-lined streets and a strong owner-occupier community. TJM works across both. For a free, no-obligation site visit and written quote, call 07745 240049.

Fencing for Central Headingley’s Terrace Properties

The Victorian through-terraces on Cardigan Road, Ash Road, Hyde Park Road, and the streets around Hyde Park are Headingley’s most frequent fencing job type — narrow rear gardens with terrace-to-terrace boundaries of 20–40 metres, and often no side access to the rear. Where there is no side passage, TJM brings materials through the property with appropriate protection, or accesses via the shared back passage where one is available. Access constraints are assessed at the free site visit and factored into the written quote upfront — no surprise charges once a price is agreed.

Close-board fencing is the standard choice for these boundaries: durable, fully private, properly concreted posts with gravel boards at the base. It handles Yorkshire’s wet winters reliably and is the practical choice for boundaries that need to work regardless of who occupies the property. For landlords managing multiple properties in Headingley — a real and regular part of TJM’s LS6 work — each property receives a written quote after a free site visit, and TJM works to the timeline that suits the tenancy situation. Storm damage and post failure are the most common fencing call-outs in this part of Headingley; TJM responds promptly across LS6.

Fencing in Far Headingley and Weetwood

North along Otley Road, the character of Headingley changes. Far Headingley and Weetwood are quieter, greener, and more settled — large Edwardian semis and stone villas on St Annes Road, Weetwood Lane, Shaw Lane, and Shire Oak Road, with spacious rear and side gardens and boundary runs of 40–70 metres or more. These are owner-occupier family properties with well-kept gardens, and the fencing decisions here — material choice, gate specification, overall finish — receive the same attention that goes into the rest of the garden.

Close-board remains a practical and popular choice at this end of Headingley. Composite fencing is increasingly the preference for households who want a fence that needs no annual staining or treatment and maintains a consistent finish year-round. Painted close-board in a heritage green or slate grey is also growing in popularity on the more characterful properties. TJM discusses the options at the free site visit and advises on what suits the specific property and boundary.

Parts of Far Headingley, Weetwood, and West Park are covered by Leeds City Council conservation areas — the Far Headingley Conservation Area, the Weetwood Conservation Area, and the West Park Conservation Area. For most rear garden boundaries, this makes no practical difference: fences up to 2 metres are generally permitted development. Front-boundary fencing on historic streets within these areas may warrant a check with Leeds City Council planning before work begins. TJM assesses conservation area considerations at the free site visit and will flag anything that may need a planning check before quoting.

Fence Repairs in Headingley

TJM handles fence repairs across Headingley and LS6 — replacing individual panels blown out in a storm, concreting in new posts where originals have rotted at ground level, re-hanging gates, and replacing failed gravel boards. Storm damage is the most common call-out in central Headingley’s terrace streets; prompt response matters particularly when a property is tenanted. TJM assesses at the free site visit whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective and gives an honest recommendation. Call 07745 240049 for a prompt response across LS6.

Fencing Costs in Headingley

Close-board or feather-edge fencing in LS6 typically costs £85–£130 per metre supplied and installed. A typical central Headingley terrace rear boundary of 25–35 metres runs approximately £2,125–£4,550 for close-board. A typical Far Headingley or Weetwood semi boundary of 50 metres runs approximately £4,250–£6,500. On terrace properties with restricted side access, a small handling allowance may apply — this is always confirmed in the written quote before any work starts, not added at the end. Composite fencing runs £130–£200+ per metre. Timber gates from £350.

TJM provides a clear written quote after a free site visit — the final price depends on fence length, height, material, ground conditions, and access. We do not quote from a phone description or a photo. Call 07745 240049 to arrange your free site visit across Headingley and LS6.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fencing in Headingley

We’re landlords with several Headingley terrace properties — can you handle multiple fencing jobs?

Yes. TJM Landscapes regularly works with landlords managing multiple properties in Headingley and the LS6 area. Each property receives a written quote after a free site visit, and TJM works to the timeline that suits the tenancy situation — whether one fence needs replacing this week or a portfolio of terrace boundaries is due for renewal. Repeat landlord fencing work is something TJM is set up to handle efficiently. Call 07745 240049 to discuss.

Our Headingley terrace has no side access to the rear garden — can you still install fencing?

Yes. No side access is one of the most common situations TJM encounters on Headingley’s terrace streets — Cardigan Road, Ash Road, and the streets around Hyde Park in particular. Where there is no side passage, TJM brings materials through the property with appropriate floor protection, or accesses via the shared back passage where one is available. Access restrictions are assessed at the free site visit and factored into the written quote before any work starts. There are no surprise charges once a price has been agreed.

Does the conservation area in Far Headingley affect what fencing I can install?

Parts of Far Headingley, Weetwood, and West Park are covered by Leeds City Council conservation areas — including the Far Headingley Conservation Area, the Weetwood Conservation Area, and the West Park Conservation Area. For most rear garden boundaries, standard permitted development rights apply: fences up to 2 metres high generally do not need planning permission. Front-boundary fencing visible from the road on historic streets within these areas may require a check with Leeds City Council planning before work begins, as any structure that could materially affect the character of the conservation area may need consent. TJM assesses conservation area considerations at the free site visit and flags anything that may warrant a planning check before quoting.

Do you cover Burley and Meanwood as well as Headingley?

Yes — TJM covers all of LS6 including Headingley, Far Headingley, Hyde Park, Burley, Kirkstall, and Meanwood, as well as the wider North and West Leeds area. TJM has a dedicated fencing page for Meanwood — see fencing in Meanwood. Call 07745 240049 to arrange a free, no-obligation site visit anywhere in LS6 or nearby.
