We supply and fit garden fencing in Dalkeith and around Eskbank and Danderhall – panel, closeboard and slatted fencing plus gates, on solid posts built for Scottish weather.

Fencing jobs in Dalkeith vary as much as the housing does. New owners at Shawfair want privacy in gardens that are overlooked from every side. Long back gardens in Newton and Easthouses have old fences that have been patched for years. And in Eskbank, fencing often has to sit alongside stone walls and mature hedges without looking out of place.

Garden fencing in Dalkeith: how we work

Privacy in new gardens

New-build gardens at Shawfair and Danderhall are often close together and overlooked. Taller closeboard or solid panel fencing up to 2 metres gives privacy, and a slatted screen near the patio can add shelter without blocking all the light. We check the builder's boundary pegs and agree the line with you before we start.

Long runs on older plots

In Newton, Easthouses and Mayfield, back gardens can be long and narrow, with fencing on both sides and a gate at the bottom. Replacing these in one go, with new posts set in concrete, costs less over time than patching panel by panel.

Fencing beside walls and hedges

In Eskbank, fencing usually fills gaps between stone walls, or sits behind a hedge. We fit it neatly where it meets the wall, choose timber that suits the setting, and keep posts clear of wall foundations and roots.

The same build quality throughout

Posts are concrete or pressure-treated timber, set deep and concreted in, with gravel boards to keep timber off the ground and caps to shed water.

Boundaries and permission

A garden fence up to 2 metres usually doesn't need planning permission, but anything over 1 metre in front of the house facing a road does. In Eskbank and central Dalkeith's conservation areas, front boundary changes are more tightly controlled. Some new estates also have title conditions on front fences. Your title deeds should say who owns each boundary; if it's shared, agree the plan with your neighbour first.
