Fencing contractors in Haslemere and Hindhead
Fences, deer fencing, gates and garden rooms for steep, wooded gardens.
Haslemere gardens are rarely flat and rarely open. They are on slopes, at the edge of woods, and deer come through most of them.
That changes how a fence is built: how it follows the ground, how tall it needs to be, and what happens at the bottom of it.
What we do in Haslemere and Hindhead
We handle the whole job, A to Z: fencing, gates and electric gates, decking, paving and garden rooms, from the first visit to the final sweep.
Fencing
Closeboard, panel, slatted, trellis, post and rail, acoustic and mesh.
Gates
Garden gates to match the fence, driveway gates and electric gates.
Landscaping
Composite decking, patios, paving, lawns, sleepers and planting beds.
Garden rooms
Offices, studios and gyms at the end of the garden.
Repairs
Leaning posts, storm damage and broken boards.
Slopes, sand and woodland
Steep ground
On a slope a fence is either stepped, with each bay level, or raked to follow the fall. Raked keeps the bottom tight to the ground. Posts on a bank also get more concrete on the downhill side.
Greensand
Around Hindhead the ground is sandy and stony. It drains well but needs deeper holes for a post to hold.
Deer
Roe and muntjac deer are common in the woods here. A deer fence needs height, and muntjac will go under anything with a gap, so the mesh runs right down to the ground.

Protected countryside all round
Much of the countryside around Haslemere and Hindhead is in the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and the South Downs National Park starts just to the south. In both, all garden buildings more than 20 metres from the house can cover no more than 10 square metres in total without planning permission.
Trees
Some trees here have Tree Preservation Orders, and trees in conservation areas are protected too. Damaging a protected tree's roots can be an offence, so post holes are kept clear of them.

Questions from Haslemere and Hindhead
How do you stop deer getting into the garden?
Height, and no gaps at the bottom. A deer fence is taller than a garden fence, and the mesh runs right down to the ground because muntjac will push under anything that is left open.
Can you fence a steep garden?
Yes. On a slope we either step the fence, with each bay level, or rake it to follow the ground so there are no gaps underneath.
Can I put a garden office at the bottom of my garden in Hindhead?
Possibly, but much of the area is in the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where all garden buildings more than 20 metres from the house can cover no more than 10 square metres in total without planning permission. We check your address first.
