Fencing & screening

Fencing is rarely the headline of a landscape, but it's almost always what visitors see first and what owners look at most. A bad fence dates the whole property in five years. Powder-coat that fails on the salt side. Timber that warps because the species was wrong. Heights that violate setback rules and trigger a dispute letter from the neighbour.

We do fencing differently because we build it as part of the landscape, not as a stand-alone job. The species, the colour, the height, the line — all of it is chosen against the house, the planting, and the way you actually use the yard. We work in hardwood (spotted gum, blackbutt, merbau), powder-coated aluminium, steel, masonry, and planted screening. Each has its place. None of them is the universal answer.

Privacy and screening also matter, especially on Coast blocks where the neighbour's window looks straight into your dining table. We design layered screens — solid base, slatted upper, planted softening — so the privacy is actually private without feeling like a prison.
