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.

Things To Consider When Choosing A Fence
Things to consider when choosing a fence. If you are thinking of changing your fencing take your time before going ahead with the new installation. There are various things to consider so you shouldn’t rush into this decision. Below we look at some of the things to take into consideration: Have a think about the purpose of the fence? Is it to improve the look of your garden? Does it need to provide privacy? Is it needed to keep your pets from straying? What budget do you have for the project? Do you need any planning permission? This is only needed for fencing over 2m high (6ft = 1.83m, 5ft = 1.52m, 4ft = 1.22m, 3ft = 0.91m). How much maintenance can you honestly carry out each year? What materials do you want to use? Do you go with wooden or concrete fence posts? Do you want vertical or horizontal fencing? How much light do you get in your garden? Maybe consider fencing with gaps between the slats to increase the lighting. Do you want to add fence post caps to finish the look? Remember to talk to your neighbours before the project starts so they are aware of the planned work. Are you going to carry out the work yourself of hire a professional for their knowledge and experience?
