Using Fencing in Your Spring Garden Project





















At last the weather is turning warmer, the gorse is blooming on heathland and our gardens are starting to blossom. At this time of year we know that lots of garden owners are thinking about what their first spring project should be.

Fences as Camouflage

Perhaps it’s a question of camouflaging the rubbish and recycling area or the compost heap. This is where a panel or two of decorative fencing can make all the difference. We love to talk about this kind of project, because there are so many fencing materials to choose from which will give different effects.

Screening panels could come in bamboo, willow, reed or cleft chestnut. Brushwood or bark might give a really natural finish to the area if that is what you are after. We also advise you to think of trellis which comes in panels with a thick lattice that is good for camouflage. When they prefer more solid fences, Upminster and other Essex residents often finish them with a dainty trellis top.

A Fencing Windbreak

Another project you might have in mind is protection from wind for a small area, perhaps where you have some seating or some delicate plants. For this you don’t want solid fencing but something that allows some air through while reducing the strength of the wind. For our customers in east London and Essex areas such as Romford and Hornchurch, fencing types we recommend for this will include trellis panels. If you want to grow a living windbreak, a panel or two behind the plants will do the job while they grow.

Whatever type of spring garden projects you have in mind, now is the time to start having fun with them.
