Fencing in Basingstoke
Landscape gardeners for patios, lawns, fencing & full garden makeovers. Free surveys, fixed written quotes, tidy workmanship.
Basingstoke Landscaping installs and replaces fencing across Basingstoke and north Hampshire — closeboard, panel and contemporary slatted fencing, plus gates and storm repairs. Fencing is the job every garden eventually needs and the one where corner-cutting shows fastest: a fence is only as good as its posts, and posts are only as good as the holes they sit in.
We set posts in proper concrete at proper depth — a third of the post height in the ground is the rule — which is why our fences are still vertical when the next winter storms arrive.
Fencing we install
Closeboard fencing
The strongest traditional option — built board-by-board on site, repairable plank by plank, 20+ year life.
Panel fencing
Lap and featheredge panels between concrete or timber posts — the quickest cost-effective replacement.
Slatted & contemporary
Horizontal slatted screens in softwood, cedar or composite — the modern garden look, excellent with outdoor living areas.
Gates & repairs
Side gates, driveway gates, and honest repairs — single panels and snapped posts replaced without selling you a whole new fence.

Timber vs concrete posts — the one decision that matters
Timber posts look softer and cost less; concrete posts and gravel boards cost more on day one and then refuse to rot for decades. Nearly every fencing job we're called to is a snapped timber post, not a failed panel. Our honest guidance: concrete for boundary runs you want to forget about, timber where looks matter and you accept the maintenance trade. Either way, the panels lift clear of the soil on gravel boards — ground contact is what kills fences.
Whose fence is it? Check your deeds for the T-marks; as a rule of thumb each house owns the run its posts face, but Basingstoke estates vary. We're happy to fence right up to a boundary you've confirmed — confirming it is the neighbourly step that prevents every dispute.
