New-Build Garden Fencing in Stevenage (SG1)
Capital Fencing installs new-build boundary fencing across Stevenage and out toward hitchin and welwyn garden city. What separates a new-build boundary fencing job from a standard boundary is the detail: replacing developer 4ft overlap panels with 6ft closeboard on concrete posts. That's the work, not the marketing. Recent work on Broadhall Way and Shephall Way. We orient jobs off Six Hills tumuli. Shephall Way 3-way rear corner. Closeboard with stepped gravel boards; corner post agreed jointly with two neighbours. Ended a long-running disagreement about ownership of the leaning panel.

6ft closeboard on concrete posts, 150mm gravel boards, mid-rail capped — a genuine 15-year replacement for the developer's 4-year panel. On Stevenage jobs we adjust for shared-with-neighbour fence runs are the norm — quotes need to cover boundary checks first.
Property mix locally: post-war planned housing across Chells, Shephall and Bedwell, plus older properties in Stevenage Old Town. Typical gardens: modest rectangular plots, typically flat, with rear access alleyways on the planned estates. Postcodes we regularly service: SG1, SG2.
