Selecting the right fence for your property can be a game-changer in terms of aesthetics, functionality, and security. At Tomlinson’s Landscapes, we understand that choosing the perfect fence is about finding the balance between style and practicality. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the various materials and styles available to make an informed decision.


Wood Fencing: Timeless and Versatile Wood is a classic choice that offers a natural, timeless look. It can be customised to match almost any design preference, whether you're looking for a traditional picket fence or something more modern. Cedar and pressure-treated pine are popular choices due to their resistance to decay and insects. The downside is that wood fences require regular maintenance, such as staining or painting, to protect them from weather damage.


Wood Fencing: Jacksons

Tomlinson’s Landscapes are also an approved Jacksons Fencing Installer. Their fencing come with a 25-year guarantee against rot and inset attack. It may be slightly more costly initially; however, it requires minimum maintenance. Jackson’s fencing also come in a wide range of styles, meaning you customise your fence.


Metal Fencing: Strong and Durable Metal fencing, including aluminium, steel, and wrought iron, provides a durable and long-lasting solution for homeowners. While wrought iron delivers a more decorative, traditional appearance, aluminium and steel are often chosen for their strength and rust resistance. Metal fences are low-maintenance and offer great security, making them ideal for those prioritising protection.


Composite Fencing: Eco-Friendly and Long-Lasting Composite fencing combines wood fibres and plastic to create a sustainable, durable product. It offers the natural look of wood with the durability of synthetic materials, making it resistant to rot, insects, and weather damage. Although it’s more expensive upfront, the long-term benefits make composite fencing a smart investment.


Fencing Styles: Tailoring to Your Needs

• Privacy Fences: Ideal for those looking to create a secluded outdoor space, privacy fences are typically solid panels made from wood, vinyl, or composite materials.

• Picket Fences: The quintessential choice for a charming, welcoming look. Picket fences are often shorter and more decorative.

• Decorative Fences: For homeowners who want to make a statement, decorative fences made from metal or wood can add an artistic touch to your garden.


At Tomlinson’s Landscapes, we can guide you through these options, ensuring that your fence perfectly complements your property and lifestyle.
