Fencing Contractors in Solihull
Garden fencing, gates and boundary upgrades across Solihull, Birmingham, Warwickshire and surrounding areas.
Cornerstone
Fencing set out around boundaries, levels and access.
Fencing affects the privacy, security and shape of a garden. It also needs careful setting out so the line, post positions, gate openings and finished height work with the site.
Cornerstone installs garden fencing, side gates and boundary upgrades as standalone work or as part of wider patio and landscaping projects. We confirm access, old fence removal, post type, gravel boards, levels and any difficult boundary details before quoting.
Specification
What is included in fencing and gate work.
The quote should confirm the fence type, post type, bay count, gate detail, waste removal and any boundary preparation needed before installation.
- Removal and disposal of old fencing where specified
- Boundary line and access checked before work starts
- Concrete posts, timber posts or other specified post system
- Concrete gravel boards, timber gravel boards or no gravel board as quoted
- Lap panels, closeboard, featheredge or decorative panels as specified
- Side gates, gate posts and ironmongery included where listed
- Ground level adjustments around roots, walls or old posts where required
- Fence line set out to suit the garden and agreed boundary
- Waste removed and area cleaned down
Method
Fence types and boundary details.
Panel fencing
A practical choice for straight runs and quick boundary replacement, often paired with concrete posts and gravel boards.
Closeboard and featheredge
A stronger timber option for a more traditional boundary, suited to sloped gardens and varying heights.
Gates and access
Side gates and access gates need post support, clear opening width and ironmongery chosen for daily use.
Drainage and levels
Levels, roots and difficult boundaries.
Fencing often has to work around old posts, tree roots, uneven ground, retaining walls and narrow side access.
Where fencing is part of a wider garden project, we sequence it with patios, artificial grass, raised beds and paths so the finished levels meet cleanly.
- Old fence condition and removal checked at survey
- Tree roots, walls and level changes identified
- Access for panels, posts, concrete and waste confirmed
- Gate opening width and swing direction agreed
- Nearby areas covered: Solihull, Shirley, Knowle, Dorridge, Balsall Common and Hampton-in-Arden
Survey notes
Common fencing issues we design around.
A straight, stable fence depends on post setting, boundary checks and working with the ground rather than forcing the line through difficult levels.
- Rotten timber posts or failed concrete around posts
- Panels leaning due to poor setting out
- Old roots, walls or concrete in the fence line
- Gate openings too narrow for daily access
- Uneven ground causing awkward panel stepping
- Waste and access restrictions through side passages
