Slatted fencing creates a different visual effect from a continuous fence face. It can help define a garden edge or separate spaces, but the appearance and degree of screening need to be considered together.

What the service covers
Slatted fencing gives a boundary a clear visual rhythm and can divide a garden without every section feeling the same. Its success depends on the arrangement, the surroundings and how much screening you actually want. We work through those choices with the space in front of us.
The effect changes with the direction of the view. A fence that appears quite closed from one position may feel more open from another. We discuss that relationship before settling the layout, particularly where the fencing will sit beside a terrace, pathway or frequently used garden area.
How it works
Choose a few reference pictures that explain what appeals to you: the overall pattern, the sense of openness or the way a screen separates different areas. Photograph your own garden from the places where you will see the fence most often. Include a wider view rather than only the section to be covered.
Show any changes in level and the existing fencing at either end. In a narrow London garden, the relationship to nearby walls and planting can make a design feel very different from the same arrangement in an open space. Let us know about restricted access or a shared route to the work.
We assess the fence position, the views through it and the ground available for installation. Corners, openings and connections to existing structures need careful consideration so the pattern feels deliberate rather than interrupted by avoidable awkward sections.
Slatted fencing is still fencing for planning purposes. Its position, height and property restrictions can affect consent; check with your local council. We agree the arrangement and quotation, plan the installation and manage the work from start to finish. The final specification sets out the appearance you have selected.

✦ BEFORE YOU BOOK
Your questions answered
Does slatted fencing provide complete privacy?+
Screening depends on the slat arrangement and where the observer stands. We consider the important views before agreeing the design, so you can choose an appearance that suits the amount of privacy you want.
Can it divide areas within a garden?+
Yes. A slatted screen can help distinguish a seating space, route or other garden area. We assess its position and how it would affect movement, light and views before working through the proposed layout.
Can I choose the appearance?+
Share the pattern and overall effect you like. We help relate that idea to your boundary, ground levels and garden proportions, then record the selected arrangement in the quotation so the installation has a clear design.
Are materials and finishes already fixed?+
We discuss materials and finishes in relation to your preferred appearance, intended use and upkeep. Those choices form part of the job specification and quotation, giving you a clear picture of what will be installed.
