When it comes to installing a new fence, you might be weighing up whether to go the DIY route or hire a professional. At Tomlinson’s Landscapes, we’ve seen the benefits and pitfalls of both approaches. Here's a breakdown to help you decide which option suits you best.


DIY Fencing: Is It Worth the Effort?

Tackling a fencing project yourself can seem appealing if you're looking to save money upfront. You have full control over the project and can work at your own pace. However, DIY fencing comes with its own set of challenges:

• Skill and Tools: Do you have the necessary tools and know-how to install a fence that will stand the test of time? Fencing requires precise measurements, levelling, and secure post setting, all of which can be tricky if you’re not experienced.

• Time-Consuming: Installing a fence is time-intensive, particularly for those who aren’t familiar with the process. What might take a professional a few days could stretch into weeks for a DIYer.

• Potential Mistakes: Incorrect installation can lead to a fence that leans, sags, or deteriorates more quickly than it should, potentially costing you more in repairs or replacements down the line.


Professional Fencing Installation: Worth Every Penny Hiring a professional fencing contractor comes with a host of advantages:

• Expertise and Experience: At Tomlinson’s Landscapes, our team has years of experience in installing fences of all types. We know how to navigate tricky landscapes and ensure that your fence is not only sturdy but also aesthetically pleasing.

• Guaranteed Quality: A professionally installed fence is built to last. We ensure proper post setting, correct alignment, and that the fence is level or stepped equally across all terrains.

• Time-Efficiency: What might take weeks for a DIYer, our team can often complete in a matter of days, with minimal disruption to your routine.

• Cost-Effective in the Long Run: While professional installation may have a higher upfront cost, you’ll save in the long term by avoiding potential DIY mistakes and repairs.


Making the Decision If you’re confident in your skills and have the time to commit, DIY can be a rewarding experience. However, for those looking for a hassle-free, high-quality installation, the professionals at Tomlinson’s Landscapes are ready to assist.
