Fencing Colchester was tasked with installing a new fence for a residential client in Colchester, using high-quality close board fence panels complemented by robust slotted concrete posts and solid concrete gravel boards. In a bid to support local wildlife, a special hedgehog-friendly gravel board was also installed.
Our journey began with a personal consultation at the client's property. Understanding the client's vision and requirements was paramount. They expressed a desire for a durable, aesthetically pleasing fence that also considered the local wildlife, particularly hedgehogs. Our team suggested the use of close board panels with concrete posts for longevity and a hedgehog gravel board to allow safe passage for hedgehogs.
Close board fencing was chosen for its robustness and classic appearance, ensuring privacy and security. We utilized slotted concrete posts, which are not only strong but also provide ease in future maintenance or panel replacement. The inclusion of a concrete gravel board added an extra layer of protection against soil moisture. The hedgehog gravel board, a subtle yet impactful gesture, featured small cut-outs near its base, allowing hedgehogs to traverse between gardens without obstruction.
The installation commenced with precise measurements and careful planning to ensure a seamless fit and finish. Our skilled team meticulously set each slotted concrete post, ensuring they were perfectly aligned and securely embedded into the ground. The close board panels were then carefully slotted into place, checked for stability and aesthetic alignment. Special attention was given to the hedgehog gravel board, ensuring the passageways were unblocked and functional.
Upon completion of the fencing installation, a thorough review was carried out to ensure every aspect met our high standards and the client’s expectations. We conducted a final walk-through with the client, during which we discussed the features of the new fencing and provided advice on maintenance. The client was delighted with the outcome, appreciating both the fence's appearance and functionality, as well as our consideration for the local hedgehog population.
This project not only exemplified Fencing Colchester's commitment to quality and client satisfaction but also highlighted our dedication to environmental stewardship. The fence installation was completed smoothly with precision, blending functionality with ecological consideration, much to the client's satisfaction.
