Local sloping-garden fencing specialist covering Hoddesdon & ware
Capital Fencing installs sloping-garden fencing across Hoddesdon and out toward ware and cheshunt.

Recent work on Middlefield Road and Pauls Lane. We orient jobs off Barclay Park bandstand. Burford Street side-gate replacement. Bespoke hardwood gate framed for a tight 780mm opening.

How we build sloping-garden fencing in Hoddesdon
closeboard on 100×100 pressure-treated posts, stepped in 150mm gravel-board increments or racked where the slope is gentle enough. On Hoddesdon jobs we adjust for older fence runs in the old town often hide rotted posts under cement skirts — full removal is usually required.
Property mix locally: 1930s and 1950s semis, with Victorian cottages toward the Old Town. Typical gardens: mid-sized flat gardens; properties near Rye Park often have direct alley access. Postcodes we regularly service: EN11.
Why this spec, for homeowners with gardens that fall or rise across the boundary — stepped or racked builds
- stepped builds keep the fence line legally correct even where the ground doesn't cooperate
- closeboard suits stepping better than panel — no wasted panels cut to slope
- sleeper-and-fence combined lines mean one contractor for what's usually two trades
Where sloping-garden fencing isn't the right answer
- — very steep sites where a proper retaining wall (brick or concrete) is the right answer before any fence goes on top
- — green-belt frontages where visible sleeper retaining isn't allowed
Typical sloping-garden fencing briefs in Hoddesdon
- → racked feather-edge run tracking a gentle slope without visible stagger
