Fencing & gates
Fences for privacy and boundaries, and gates for cars or people
Finish a new home
Moving into a new home can mean bare soil and open boundaries. We put in the fencing, paths, paving and landscaping, and do the digging before the lawn goes down.
What to decide first
We help you brainstorm and envision your ideal outdoor living before any work starts:
What the yard needs to do? Think about a path to the bins and clothesline, or room for a dog to run. The front and the back often need different things. Your answers shape the fencing and gates, the paths and paving, and the lawns, gardens and irrigation.
Any rules from the estate or your builder. Some estates have design guidelines for front gardens, fences and retaining walls. A builder’s handover notes may list what to keep clear around the house. If you have either, we’ll want to see it.
The order of the jobs. Digging and machines churn up the ground around them, so walls, fence posts and paths usually go in before the lawn.

- UseWhat do you want to do outside that you can’t do comfortably now?
- PrioritiesWhich matters most: shade, privacy, access, less upkeep, or finishing what’s half done?
- What’s there nowWhat do you want to keep, and what should we look at?
- TimingDoes anything need to happen first, such as a build finishing or another trade’s work?
- ChoicesAre there materials or finishes you’d like to compare? “Not sure” is a fine answer.

New home questions
How long do I have to finish front landscaping in a new estate?
It varies by estate. Some set a deadline for finishing the front garden, and some don’t. Check your estate’s design guidelines, or ask the developer. If you have a date to meet, put it in your enquiry.
What should go in first: the fence, the paths or the garden?
Usually the jobs that need digging or a machine, such as retaining walls, fence posts, paths and paving. Lawns and garden beds come after them.
The order among those depends on your block, such as where the ground changes level and how a machine gets in. How to plan a backyard project walks through a typical order.
Can you do a job with several parts, like a deck and a fence?
Yes. Mention every part up front, and we’ll plan them together. You’ll have one contact through the whole job.
Should I tell you my budget?
If you have one, yes. A rough figure will do. It lets us suggest options that fit, rather than pricing something you’d need to cut back.
