Mar 2021
RenovationFull
Outcome in report
Replace existing 1.8m fence and gate to back garden due to fence posts and fence being rotten, aligning fence to house edge to create extra space for recycle bins etc to be hidden from road. Replace 0.7m chain link fence bordering no 8 with a 1.8m solid timber fence, decreasing at stages (approx every 3.6m) to 1m stopping 1.6m from road side. The fence is topped with open curved diamond and is supported by concrete posts and gravel boards. The front fence is a common style mimicking most back fences in the area and with the trellis at the front it is similar with another boundary fence in the cul de sac. We plan to do more planting to soften the edges with climbing plants (e.g. honeysuckle and clematis) which will flower to attract birds, bees and other wildlife.
