Fencing and boundaries

Fencing that completes
the garden.

A well-crafted fence should feel considered, not simply installed. HDL works around levels, access, outlook and materials, so the boundary supports the wider garden and leaves the space feeling secure, settled and properly finished.

Working with the garden, not against it.

Fencing shapes how a garden feels from the house, the patio and the approach. It affects privacy, wind exposure, access, outlook and the way each part of the space connects.

HDL installs replacement fencing, new fence lines, posts, gates and garden screening using carefully specified materials and a clear approach to height, levels, fixings and finish.

Fencing work with purpose

Boundary fencing beside a landscaped garden

Boundary fencing

Boundary fencing for privacy, security and a more complete garden edge. We install well-set-out garden fencing for homes across Hitchin and surrounding Hertfordshire towns, using suitable materials and a tidy finish to define the space, protect neighbouring views and create a clearer, more practical sense of enclosure.

Gates and posts

Garden gates and secure access points for boundaries that need to work harder. We install well-fitted timber gates, side gates and access solutions for homes across Hitchin and surrounding Hertfordshire towns. Each gate is built to suit the fence line, support everyday use and feel like a considered part of the garden.

Garden Screening

Garden screening that helps turn exposed or overlooked areas into more usable outdoor spaces. From timber slatted screens to practical privacy screening around patios, seating areas and side returns, HDL creates softer boundaries, better shelter and more comfortable garden zones for homes across Hitchin and nearby Hertfordshire towns.

A clean line starts with the right setting out

Our process

Every exceptional garden begins with a well-planned design process. Here's how we bring your vision to life.
Step 1

Read the boundary

We assess the line, levels, access, existing posts and neighbouring constraints.
Step 2

Set the specification

We agree panel style, height, posts, gates, fixings and finish.
Step 3

Install securely

Old materials are removed where required and the new fencing is set out cleanly.
Step 4

Resolve the finish

We check the line, clear waste and leave the boundary ready for use.

Would highly recommend. Have done a great job of transforming our boring new build garden in to something far more interesting. From design through to landscaping works, all was done professionally & to a high standard.👍

Rodger Lucas

Very impressive job on our driveways , carried out by a very well organised , committed , motivated team, both in the office and out on site. Would have no hesitation on recommending Herts Drives & Landscapes for future work .

Christopher Wright

Would definitely recommend Hertfordshire Drives and Landscapes. They replaced an old patio with porcelain tiles and installed a new path. Tom, Zach and Will were an excellent team, nothing was too much trouble and Tom suggested minor enhancements to our project which improved the overall finish. The communication was outstanding, both from Mia in the office and the on-site team. The whatsapp group was a great idea and meant you were kept up to speed at all stages of the project. We had a few problems with foxes once the turf had been laid and Tom went over and above ordering fox alarms and carrying out repairs to electrical cables. We’re delighted with the end result, a huge thank you to Tom and the team. It was a pleasure to work with such a professional company.

Cassie Sutterby

Amazing. Tom and the team were professional, polite and easy to work with. Their workmanship was excellent. Our garden is exactly how we imagined. We are going to use them for our driveway next. Highly recommend.

Henry Poor

Working with Tom and the team to have our driveway done was a fantastic experience from start to finish, they are extremely professional and we’re so amazingly helpful in designing exactly what we wanted, I will definitely be returning for any future work needed and have recommended them to all my friends and family!

James Young

We commisioned Hertfordshire Drives to re-pave a 60m2 garden patio in sandstone, along with rebuilding a tiered garden wall and raised bed. The team had great ideas and included nice details within their original quote price. The project was completed quickly and to a high standard with minor snagging resolved quickly and profressionally. The team are friendly and kept us update on whatsapp throughout. Would highly recommend!

Salim Uddin

The work carried out by them has been high quality and we are really pleased with our finished lovely contemporary easy to maintain family garden. It has allowed us to make the most of the space and it now feels a natural extension of our home. I wanted to feel like we were in the Mediterranean and that’s the finish we got.

Kanan Tekchandani

Yes. HDL can replace tired or damaged fence lines, panels, posts and gates where the access and scope are suitable. The team will assess the boundary, levels and ground conditions before quoting.

Yes. Fencing can be considered alongside patios, paving, planting, screening and access routes, so the boundary feels connected to the rest of the garden rather than added on afterwards.

HDL carries out fencing work across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire, subject to site access and project scope.

Yes. HDL can add screening around patios, seating areas, side returns and overlooked parts of the garden. The best option will depend on height, position, fixing points and the look of the property.

Look for a fencing contractor who considers the boundary line, post setting, ground conditions, access, fixings and finish — not just the panel style. A good local fencing company should explain the specification clearly before work begins.

Yes. HDL installs gates and posts as part of fencing work. These are specified around access, regular use, ground conditions and the strength needed at key points in the boundary.
