Questions and answers
Do you sort out the neighbour's share of a dividing fence?
We'll give you a quote that shows each side's share, which makes the conversation easier. The agreement itself is between you and your neighbour.
How long does a new fence take?
A typical suburban boundary is usually up in a couple of days, plus time for the post concrete to set. Rural runs depend on the length and the ground.
Can you fence a steep or rocky block?
Yes, that's a lot of what we do around here. We'll step or rake the fence to suit the slope and tell you upfront if the ground looks like it needs extra work.
Do you take the old fence away?
Yes, removal and disposal can be included in the quote. It's listed as its own line so you can see what it costs.
Colorbond or timber?
Colorbond needs little upkeep and comes in a range of colours; timber is warmer to look at and easier to patch. We'll talk through both when we're on site.
Do you do farm fencing?
Yes. Post and rail, plain wire, ringlock and hinge joint, plus farm and driveway gates, on blocks out towards Lilydale, Coldstream and Wandin North.
How the job is priced
Priced per metre after walking the fence line with you. Rural runs are quoted based on the length and what the ground is like, with removal of old posts and footings costed as its own line if needed.
