Choosing a Fencing Company

Fencing plays a very important role in your garden so it is important to choose the right fencing company to advise and install your fencing. They will be able to share with you their wealth of knowledge and experience. So where to start looking? Recommendations are always a good place to begin. Speak to your friends and family to see if they have someone they would recommend. Then take a look at their website and also look through the company’s social media to see their previous projects and reviews. Work out your budget for the fencing project as costs can vary between the different materials, for example hardwood fencing is more expensive than softwood fencing. Get quotes from different companies to compare. It is a good idea to shortlist three or four companies for quotes. By using a fencing company you are ensuring that you receive an efficient service together with fine craftsmanship. They can also help you with any customisation needed for your fencing and will provide the fencing onsite for you saving you having to source the materials and arrange delivery. In addition they can organise any permits needed for waste removal of your existing fencing. They will advise you on the different fencing options available. Fencing comes in many different materials, styles and designs and they can discuss with you what would work best for your home, understand your preferences and your needs for the project. Is it for privacy, security or decorative purposes? An initial site visit will take place where the various options will be discussed. The next step is a written quote detailing the work involved and the total cost for the project. Then if happy with the quote a start date will be agreed for your project. Feel free to keep in contact with the company if you have any questions on the project. They should be happy to put your mind at ease. If you do have any questions on fencing projects please send an email to office@eastlondonlandscapes.com and we will be happy to help. We cover East London.

Autumn Is A Good Time To Install A Fence

Autumn is a good time to install a fence. There is no need to wait until the Spring to get your fence installed. Autumn is a great time to carry out this work and there are a number of reasons why: Speed of Service Spring is a popular time for getting your garden ready for the Summer so there may be a bit of a wait to get your fencing project booked in with a fencing contractor. If you look to have this work carried out in the Autumn you beat the rush and also have your fencing installed and your garden ready for when the Spring arrives allowing you to get full use out of it straight away when the sun arrives. Saving Money Fencing contractors are very busy during the Spring and Summer so you are more likely to get a better deal by approaching them in the Autumn or Winter to carry out your project.  You can then use any savings made in your budget to either get the project completed at a cheaper rate or use the saving to spend more on the materials on your project creating an even more beautiful fence. Having Your Garden Ready For the Spring By having the work carried out in the Autumn that is one project you have completed before the Spring arrives allowing you to enjoy your garden and the sunshine as soon as it appears and have fun in the garden with your family straight away. Friendly on Your Landscaping Carrying out your fencing project in the Autumn is a good idea as much of the landscape will be dormant so it will be less damaging to your plants. If you have bushes or roses that are near where the fence will be installed, they can be trimmed back or even relocated during their dormancy without causing long-term damage. If you do need to replace some plants or re-landscape areas where the fence was installed, getting the fence project done during the Winter will give you a head start in getting new plants in the ground come Spring. By getting them in early, you’ll ensure they are well established before the Summer heat causes stress that can harm immature plants. Your Fencing Will be Ready for Winter If your fence is looking worse for wear now would be a good time to replace it before the Winter takes hold. We have had some cold Winters recently and a strong new fence will hold up well against the cold, snow, and sleet.
