Types of Garden Fencing We Install in Leeds

TJM installs the full range of residential garden fencing across Leeds and West Yorkshire. The right type depends on the property, the boundary length, the degree of privacy needed, and the budget — we’ll discuss the options at the free site visit and recommend what suits the specific garden.

Close-Board Fencing

The most popular choice for Leeds residential gardens — and the most robust. Close-board fencing uses overlapping vertical feather-edge boards nailed to horizontal arris rails, creating a solid, fully private boundary that is significantly stronger than standard lap panel fencing and handles Yorkshire’s weather well. TJM installs close-board with 100x100mm treated timber posts concreted into the ground and gravel boards fitted at the base to protect panels from ground moisture. Available in heights from 1.2m to 1.8m, with or without trellis topping or capping rail. The standard choice for most North and West Yorkshire semis and detached properties with shared rear boundaries.

Feather-Edge Panel Fencing

Feather-edge panels offer the same overlapping board construction as close-board but come pre-made in standard 1.83m widths for a faster, cleaner installation on straight boundaries. Ideal for long garden runs with consistent heights where installation speed matters and ground conditions are straightforward. TJM installs feather-edge panels with concrete or treated timber posts and includes gravel boards as standard. A practical, cost-effective choice that suits most Leeds residential boundaries. Individual damaged panels can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the run — a useful practical advantage after storm damage.

Timber Panel Fencing

Lap and waney-edge timber panels suit smaller gardens, front boundaries, and properties where a more traditional or decorative look is the priority. TJM installs a range of timber panel styles — from standard overlap panels to hit-and-miss and slatted designs that let light and air through while still defining a boundary. For front gardens adjacent to a public road, panel height is limited to 1 metre without planning permission — TJM will advise on this at the site visit if it applies to your property.

Composite Fencing

Composite fencing is growing in popularity across Leeds and West Yorkshire for homeowners who want a fence that never needs painting, staining, or annual treatment. Made from a mix of wood fibres and recycled plastic, composite fencing won’t warp, rot, or splinter, and typically carries a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty. Available in a range of finishes — from natural wood effect to contemporary smooth — at a higher upfront cost than timber but a significantly lower lifetime maintenance cost. TJM supplies and installs composite fencing from leading manufacturers across Leeds and West Yorkshire, and can advise on the right system for the specific property and budget.

Fence Repairs and Post Replacement

Not every fence job needs full replacement. TJM handles a wide range of repair work: replacing individual panels blown out in a storm, concreting in new posts where originals have rotted at ground level, re-hanging gates that have dropped off their hinges, and replacing gravel boards that have failed at the base. If you’re unsure whether to repair or replace, TJM will assess the fence honestly at the free site visit and recommend the most cost-effective approach — we have no incentive to recommend a full replacement when a repair is all that’s needed.

Timber Gates

TJM builds and hangs timber gates to measure — from single side-passage gates on Leeds terrace properties to wider double driveway gates on larger homes. Gates are built from the same treated timber as the adjacent fence for a consistent finish, 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 Leeds properties are rarely standard, and a gate built to the wrong width is both useless and expensive. Gate pricing is included in the site visit quote alongside any fencing work.

Fence Repairs and Storm Damage in Leeds

Yorkshire’s weather is hard on garden fences. TJM handles storm damage repairs across Leeds and West Yorkshire — blown panels, snapped or leaning posts, gates ripped from hinges, and gravel boards rotted through at the base. If a storm has damaged your fence and you need it assessed quickly, call 07745 240049 — TJM aims to visit the same day or next day for emergency damage, and can arrange temporary boarding to make your garden secure while full replacement materials are ordered.

For non-emergency repairs — a post that is leaning rather than down, a handful of panels that need replacing, a gate that has dropped — we price the repair at the free site visit and give you a clear comparison between repair cost and full replacement cost so you can make an informed decision.

Garden Fencing Costs in Leeds

Fencing prices in Leeds and West Yorkshire vary by type, length, and ground conditions. The table below gives typical installed ranges — all prices include supply, delivery, post-setting, panel or board fitting, and clean-up on completion.

What affects the final price?

Five factors determine where a job sits within the ranges above: (1) fence length and height — longer runs and non-standard heights affect both materials and labour; (2) ground conditions — sloped terrain, rocky or clay soil, and existing concrete footings that need breaking out all add time; (3) access to the rear garden — narrow ginnels, back entries with height restrictions, and properties where materials must be hand-carried significantly affect installation time; (4) fence type and post specification — concrete posts, hardwood posts, and heavy-duty composite systems cost more than standard treated softwood; (5) old fencing removal — taking out and disposing of existing panels and posts is included in TJM’s standard quote and is not charged as a surprise extra.

TJM provides a free written quote after a no-obligation site visit — we measure the garden, assess the ground conditions and access, and give you a clear total price with no hidden costs. We don’t quote online without seeing the garden first, because a number given without a site visit isn’t reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions — Garden Fencing in Leeds

How much does garden fencing cost in Leeds?

Close-board or feather-edge fencing in Leeds typically costs between £85 and £130 per metre, supplied and installed. Composite fencing runs £130 to £200 or more per metre. Standard lap panel fencing is generally £65 to £95 per metre. Timber side gates start from £350. A typical 40-metre rear and side boundary on a Leeds semi-detached runs approximately £3,400 to £5,200 for close-board, fully installed. The final price depends on ground conditions, access to the rear garden, fence length and height, post specification, and whether old fencing needs removing. TJM Landscapes provides a free written quote after a no-obligation site visit — no hidden costs.

Do I need planning permission for a garden fence in Leeds?

In most residential gardens in Leeds, no planning permission is required. The standard rules allow fences up to 2 metres high in a rear or side garden without permission, and up to 1 metre next to a highway or public footpath. If adding trellis takes the total height above 2 metres, permission may be needed. Conservation area properties — including parts of Farsley, Chapel Allerton, Calverley, Headingley, Roundhay, and Horsforth — may need to consider material choices appropriate to the area, but this rarely requires a formal planning application. TJM Landscapes will advise on any specific considerations at the free site visit.

How long does fence installation take?

A typical rear and side boundary on a Leeds semi-detached 40 to 60 metres takes one to two days for a full installation, including post-setting and panel fitting. Smaller single-boundary jobs can often be completed in a day. Larger or more complex projects — sloped ground, difficult access, or runs above 60 metres — may take two to three days. TJM gives a realistic estimated timeline as part of the written quote after the free site visit.

Can you repair a fence rather than replace it?

Yes. Many fence jobs do not need full replacement. TJM Landscapes handles individual panel replacements, post replacements where originals have rotted at ground level, gate re-hanging where hinges or posts have failed, and gravel board replacement. If it is unclear whether to repair or replace, TJM will assess the fence at the free site visit and give an honest recommendation on the most cost-effective approach. Storm damage repairs are responded to as quickly as possible — call 07745 240049.

What is close-board fencing and why is it popular?

Close-board fencing — also called feather-edge fencing — uses overlapping vertical boards nailed to horizontal arris rails, creating a solid, fully private boundary that is significantly stronger than standard lap panel fencing. It handles Yorkshire’s weather well, can be built to exact heights, and is the preferred choice for most shared garden boundaries on residential properties across Leeds. TJM installs close-board using properly concreted posts and gravel boards as standard for maximum lifespan.
