Side Gate and Fencing Installation in West Byfleet
This project involved the installation of a new timber gate and fencing system to the side of a property in West Byfleet, Surrey, creating a secure and attractive boundary while improving access to the garden.
The existing entrance area required a more durable and practical solution. We installed new fencing panels supported by concrete posts and concrete gravel boards, ensuring maximum strength and protection against ground moisture. A matching timber gate was positioned centrally along the garden pathway to create a balanced appearance and provide convenient access between sections of the property.
The completed installation delivers improved security, enhanced privacy and a clean professional finish that complements the surrounding garden.
