Boundary, Garden and Decorative Fencing — Supplied and Installed
Whether you need new boundary fencing after a storm, a complete garden enclosure for privacy and security, or decorative fencing to finish a landscaping project, Premium Landscapes installs fencing across Leicester and Leicestershire. We supply and fit all common fencing types — from traditional closeboard and featheredge to contemporary composite panels and decorative metal railings.
Every installation uses properly set concrete posts, the correct post depth for the panel height, and waste removal on the day. No skimped posts, no wobbling panels 12 months later. As your local landscaper in Leicester and a trusted landscaping company across Leicestershire, we install fencing to a standard you can rely on for years.
The most common timber fencing choice across the UK — overlapping vertical featheredge boards fixed to arris rails, with concrete or timber posts. Fully solid, excellent privacy, and available in standard heights from 900mm to 1.8m. Suitable for all boundary conditions, including exposed gardens where panel fencing would flex and fail.
Standard and decorative timber panels (overlap, waney lap, lattice-top, trellis-top) are widely used across Leicester for garden boundaries and internal dividers. Panel fencing installs quickly and is cost-effective for straightforward straight runs. We set all posts in concrete and include gravel boards as standard to prevent base rot.
Composite fencing panels use a wood-plastic composite material that looks like timber but requires zero maintenance — no painting, no treating, no warping. Colour-stable for 20+ years, resistant to rot, insects and UV. Ideal for homeowners who want the look of wood without the annual upkeep.
Trellis panels on post extensions, painted metal railings, picket fencing and slatted screens for contemporary gardens. Decorative fencing works as a design feature as well as a boundary — particularly for front gardens where you want to define the space without blocking light or views.
Heavy-duty close-boarded acoustic fencing is available for properties on busy roads where noise reduction is a priority. These panels use thicker, denser boards and are installed with acoustic-grade posts and rails to provide meaningful noise attenuation.

Every fencing job we quote includes:
We do not subcontract fencing work — the same team that installs your patio or lawn installs your fencing.
Storm damage is one of the most common reasons for emergency fencing calls across Leicestershire. We handle full fence replacements — stripping out damaged posts and panels, disposing of all old materials, and installing a full new run with properly set concrete posts.
If only sections of your fence are damaged, we can match existing materials where possible for a seamless repair. However, for fences over 10 years old, a full replacement is typically better value than a patchwork repair that leaves old posts in weakened ground.
We cover emergency fencing replacement across Leicester, Oadby, Wigston, Narborough, Birstall, Hinckley, Loughborough and surrounding Leicestershire areas.
In England, you're generally responsible for the boundaries marked on your title deeds — these are usually indicated by a "T" mark on the boundary. Before installing new fencing, we recommend checking your title plan and confirming boundary ownership with your neighbour where relevant. We install fencing on your side of the agreed boundary line.
We do not handle boundary disputes, but we're happy to advise on typical arrangements for semi-detached and terraced Leicester properties where boundary responsibility is often shared or unclear.
If you're having a patio, artificial lawn or full garden redesign installed, new fencing is often part of the same project. Including fencing in the same quote simplifies the job significantly — ground preparation happens once, access is coordinated, and the finished result is cohesive rather than piecemeal.
We regularly install fencing as part of full garden transformations across Leicester, and all our landscaping quotes can include a fencing element.
A standard residential fence run (10–20 metres) takes 1–2 days. Longer runs or projects including gate posts may take 2–3 days. We remove all old materials the same day.
In most cases, no. Fences up to 2 metres high on boundaries that don't face a highway do not require planning permission. Fences over 1 metre adjacent to a highway or in a conservation area may need permission. We can advise at survey stage.
Pressure-treated timber fencing typically lasts 15–25 years depending on the wood grade, treatment specification, and conditions. All our timber is pressure-treated as standard. Composite fencing carries a 20–25 year manufacturer warranty.
Yes. We can fit timber, composite or metal gates as part of the same installation — including gate posts, hinges and latches. Automated gate systems are outside our scope but we can install the posts and framework for a gate opener system.
Yes. Sloped ground is accommodated either by stepping the fence in level sections (step-down method) or by raking the panels to follow the slope (gravel-board method). We discuss the best approach at survey stage.
Closeboard uses individual featheredge boards fixed to rails — more wind-resistant and longer-lasting than panels. Panel fencing uses prefabricated panels slotted between posts — faster to install and often slightly cheaper, but more vulnerable to wind damage if a panel warps or cracks.
Installed fencing costs in Leicester typically range from £60–£120 per metre for standard close-board panels on timber posts, rising to £120–£200+ per metre for composite fencing or decorative metal panels. The total depends on panel type, post specification (timber, concrete or steel), access and whether old fencing needs removing. We provide free itemised quotes for all fencing projects in Leicester and Leicestershire.
Yes — old fencing removal is included in most of our fencing quotes. We remove and dispose of existing panels, rails and posts (including concrete post extraction where needed). The disposal cost is factored into the quoted price so there are no surprises. If the existing concrete posts are still in good structural condition, we can sometimes reuse them to reduce cost.
Concrete posts are more durable and longer-lasting — they won't rot at ground level, which is the most common point of failure for timber fence posts. They cost more upfront but are generally better long-term value on standard close-board fencing runs. Timber posts are appropriate where flexibility is needed (curved runs, tight access) or for lower-specification boundary fencing.
Yes — we install composite fencing panels alongside our composite decking service. Composite fencing uses the same wood-plastic composite material as decking boards: it won't rot, fade or splinter, requires no painting or staining, and maintains a consistent appearance year-round. It's a good aesthetic match with composite decking or contemporary patio designs.
We handle storm-damage fence replacement across Leicester and Leicestershire. Response time depends on the volume of storm damage in the area — in the immediate aftermath of a significant storm there is typically a queue. Temporary boarding of vulnerable sections can be arranged while a permanent replacement is scheduled. Contact us via the contact page or WhatsApp to discuss urgent fence repair in Leicester.
