Garden Fencing Oakwood, Leeds LS8 | TJM Landscapes

TJM Landscapes installs garden fencing across Oakwood and LS8 — from the 1920s and 1930s semis on Easterly Road and Copgrove Road, where rear and side fence runs of 40 to 60 metres are standard, to the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Roundhay Road that need side-passage gates and rear boundary replacements, and the larger detached homes on streets like Oakwood Grange Lane closer to Roundhay Park. We cover the full range of Oakwood properties and fencing needs.

We’re Tom and Declan — a family-run fencing and landscaping team with over ten years working across North Leeds. Every job starts with a free site visit and a clear written quote, with no obligation to proceed. Call 07745 240049 or use the form above to get started.

Fencing Options for Oakwood Gardens

We install the full range of residential garden fencing across Oakwood and LS8. Close-board and feather-edge fencing are the most popular choices for the area’s interwar semis — solid, fully private, and well-suited to Oakwood’s exposed conditions near Roundhay Park. Composite is an increasingly common choice on the larger Roundhay Park-side properties where low maintenance and a longer lifespan are the priority. Whatever the property type, we’ll recommend the right option at the site visit and price it accurately.

Close-Board Fencing

The most popular choice across Oakwood’s 1920s–30s semis, and the right one for most shared-boundary situations. Close-board uses individual feather-edge boards fixed to arris rails between properly concreted posts — no gaps, no rattle, and properly set to handle the wind exposure that comes with a garden backing onto open ground. TJM installs with 100mm x 100mm treated posts set in concrete, with gravel boards at the base to keep the timber clear of damp soil. Available in 1.5m and 1.8m heights. Standard choice for the long rear and side fence runs on Easterly Road, Copgrove Road, and Arlington Grove.

Feather-Edge Panel Fencing

Pre-assembled feather-edge panels offer a cleaner, uniform fence line at slightly lower cost than full-board close-board construction. Well-suited to Oakwood’s terrace rear gardens where a tidy boundary is the goal and the ground is reasonably level. TJM supplies panels in standard 6-foot height, with gravel boards and concrete post options as standard. Individual panels can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the run — a practical advantage when one panel takes storm damage while the rest of the fence is sound.

Timber Panel Fencing

Lap-panel, hit-and-miss, and decorative timber panel fencing suit smaller Oakwood gardens and front boundaries. For the Victorian terrace frontages near Oakwood Parade and Roundhay Road, a traditional timber panel or picket fence respects the period character of the street while providing a clear boundary definition. TJM fits both treated timber and pressure-treated options across a range of post and cap styles. Cost-effective for shorter runs and front boundaries where full privacy is not the primary concern.

Composite Fencing

Increasingly popular on the larger detached properties near Roundhay Park, composite fencing requires no painting, staining, or annual treatment and holds its appearance for significantly longer than timber. It handles Yorkshire’s wet climate without warping, fading, or going green, and is available in finishes that suit both contemporary builds and older properties. Typical installed cost from £130 to £200 per metre — higher than timber, but reflecting the lifetime cost saving from zero maintenance. TJM provides a clear per-metre and total written quote at the site visit so there is no ambiguity about the full job cost.

Fence Repairs and Storm Damage

Oakwood sits immediately adjacent to 700 acres of Roundhay Park, and the larger open rear gardens on Easterly Road and Copgrove Road are directly in the path of south-westerly winds crossing the park. Wind-blown panels and snapped posts are one of the most common emergency fencing calls TJM receives from Oakwood. If a storm has brought your fence down or left panels hanging, call 07745 240049 — TJM aims to assess damage the same day or next day and can arrange temporary boarding to secure your garden while full replacement materials are ordered. We also carry out non-emergency repairs: individual panel replacements, post re-concreting, and gravel board replacement.

Timber Gates

Most fencing jobs in Oakwood include at least one timber gate — a side-passage gate on the Victorian terrace properties near Roundhay Road, a rear garden gate on the semis, or a larger entrance gate on the detached homes near the park. TJM builds and hangs gates to measure using the same treated timber as the fence, with heavy-duty galvanised hinges, latch, and drop-bolt fixings as standard. Side-access gates for terrace properties are assessed at the site visit for width and clearance — passage widths in older Oakwood terraces are rarely standard. Prices from £350 for a standard single gate.

Why Oakwood Homeowners Choose TJM Landscapes

TJM Landscapes is Tom and Declan — a real West Yorkshire business, not a call centre or a franchise. When you call 07745 240049, you speak to the people who will do the work. We carry full public liability insurance, hold City & Guilds qualifications in landscaping and groundworks, and have been installing fencing across North Leeds for over ten years. We cover Oakwood and Roundhay regularly — the full range of the area’s property stock, from a single gate replacement on a terrace to a full boundary installation on one of the Roundhay Park-side detached homes.

Every quote starts with a free site visit. Oakwood’s garden sizes vary considerably — a 1930s semi on Copgrove Road and a Victorian terrace on Roundhay Road are completely different jobs in terms of length, access, and ground conditions. We measure accurately and write the quote accordingly. Storm damage assessments are done as quickly as possible given how exposed many Oakwood rear gardens are to park-direction wind.

Fencing Oakwood — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does garden fencing cost in Oakwood?

Close-board or feather-edge fencing in Oakwood typically costs between £85 and £130 per metre, supplied and installed. Timber gates start from £350. Composite fencing runs from £130 to £200 or more per metre, reflecting its longer lifespan and zero maintenance requirements. To put the per-metre figures in context: a typical Oakwood 1930s semi with 40 metres of rear and side boundary fencing in close-board runs approximately £3,400 to £5,200 depending on ground conditions, access, and whether concrete spurs or new posts are required. TJM provides a free written quote after a site visit — no obligation, no follow-up pressure.

How long does a fencing job take in Oakwood?

A typical rear and side fence on an Oakwood 1930s semi — 40 to 60 metres — takes one to two days including post setting and panel installation. Smaller single-boundary jobs of 10 to 20 metres can usually be completed in a day. Larger jobs on the detached properties near Roundhay Park may take two to three days. Materials are generally available within a week of the quote being accepted. For storm damage, TJM aims to attend the same day or next day for assessment, with full replacement following as quickly as materials allow.

Do you cover all of Oakwood and LS8?

Yes — TJM Landscapes covers all of Oakwood, Roundhay, and the wider LS8 postcode, as well as Chapel Allerton, Alwoodley, Meanwood, and surrounding North Leeds areas. The boundary between Oakwood and Roundhay is informal and we cover the whole area without distinction. If you are unsure whether we cover your specific street, call 07745 240049 and we will confirm.

Can you repair a fence damaged in a storm quickly?

Yes. Storm damage and wind-blown posts are among the most frequent emergency fencing calls TJM receives from Oakwood — the area’s position immediately adjacent to Roundhay Park means rear gardens on Easterly Road, Copgrove Road, and similar streets are directly exposed to park-direction wind. Call 07745 240049 and we will aim to attend the same day or next day for an assessment. Where a garden has been left open or unsecure, temporary boarding can be arranged while full replacement materials are ordered. Full replacement typically follows within a week.

What height fence can I put up in Oakwood without planning permission?

In a rear garden, you can install a fence up to 2 metres (approximately 6 feet 6 inches) without planning permission in most residential areas. In a front garden adjacent to a highway, the limit is 1 metre (approximately 3 feet 3 inches). Oakwood is a standard residential area — there is no general conservation area designation across the suburb, and standard permitted development rules apply in most cases. TJM will flag any specific boundary or planning considerations at the free site visit if they arise.
