A fence is only as straight as its posts. We set ours in concrete at the right depth and spacing, then build the panels, slats or boards to suit your garden and your boundary.
Concrete or treated timber posts, set deep enough to stand up to a Lincolnshire wind.
Horizontal slatted screens, traditional close board or lattice-topped panels.
Side and garden gates built to match, on heavy-duty hinges with a proper latch.
We check the line with you, and your neighbour if needed, before the first post goes in.
For most boundaries, close board fencing on concrete posts and gravel boards is the sensible choice. It stands up to wind, keeps the timber off the soil and lets you replace a damaged board without taking down a whole panel.
We can add lattice or slatted toppers for a softer top line, and leave room at the base so your borders run right up to the fence.
Horizontal slatted screens give a garden a clean back wall. We use them to hide a shed or a neighbour's extension, frame a seating area, or carry wall lights and planters.
We cut and space the slats on site, so the gaps line up with the lights, the bench and the planters in front.
Why Fosse & Fen
Three promises we make to every customer, written into every quote.
The price we give you after the 3D design is the price you pay. If we find something underground that nobody could have seen, we stop, show you, and agree any change before we carry on.
We protect your drive and lawn, keep materials stacked in one place and sweep up before we leave each evening.
Our founder visits every site during the build as well as at the quote. If something needs deciding, you are talking to the person who can decide it.
How it works
1
Free
We visit, measure the garden and talk through how you want to use it. We check levels, drainage and access while we are there.
2
No obligation
We draw the garden in 3D and walk you round it. Once you are happy with the design, you get a fixed, itemised quote.
3
Tidy site
Our team builds it from dig-out to planting. You get a start date, a weekly plan and a tidy site every evening.
4
10 years
We walk round the finished garden with you, show you how to look after it and hand over your 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Reviews
They dug out the whole back garden and had the patio, lawn and lighting finished in four weeks. The 3D drawing meant there were no surprises. It looks exactly like the drawing.

Owen came out three times during the build to check on things. The lads were polite, started on time every morning and swept the drive every night.

Our resin driveway went down in a day once the base was in. Fixed price, no extras, and the guarantee in writing.

It depends on your title deeds, which sometimes show which boundary belongs to which house. If they do not say, it is worth agreeing with your neighbour before work starts. We are happy to talk it through with both of you on site.
Up to 2 metres without planning permission in most back gardens, and 1 metre next to a road or footpath. Trellis on top counts towards the height. We check this for you at the design visit.
Concrete posts last longer and do not rot, so they suit panels and close board fencing. Timber posts suit slatted screens and made-to-measure designs where concrete would look out of place. Both are set in concrete footings.
Yes. We build gates to match the fence or screen, hang them on heavy-duty hinges and fit a latch or lock that works from both sides.
A typical back garden fence takes two to four days, depending on its length and whether old posts need breaking out. Gates and screens add a day or so.
