Garden Fencing Roundhay — TJM Landscapes

TJM Landscapes installs garden fencing across Roundhay and LS8 — from the large Edwardian and interwar semis on Lidgett Lane, Talbot Road, and Devonshire Avenue, where combined rear and side boundary runs of 40–80 metres are standard rather than exceptional, to the premium detached homes near Roundhay Park on streets like Mansion Lane and North Park Avenue, and the Victorian properties along the Gledhow Valley corridor. We work across the full range of Roundhay’s fencing market: the long-boundary Edwardian semis, the park-side detached homes at the premium end, and the conservation area properties in the Roundhay and Gledhow Valley areas where material choices matter.

We’re Tom and Declan — a family-run fencing and landscaping team with over ten years working across North Leeds and LS8. Every job starts with a free site visit and a clear written quote. Call 07745 240049 or use the form above.

Fencing Options for Roundhay Gardens

We supply and install the full range of residential garden fencing across Roundhay. Close-board is the most common choice for the Edwardian and interwar semis that dominate much of LS8 — solid, fully private, and strong enough to handle the park-side wind exposure that affects many Roundhay rear gardens. Composite fencing is the preferred option on the premium detached properties near Roundhay Park, where a finish that requires zero ongoing treatment is the priority at the higher end of the market.

Close-Board Fencing

The most popular choice for Roundhay’s Edwardian and interwar semis, and the right one for most long boundary runs in LS8. Close-board uses individual feather-edge boards fixed to arris rails between concreted posts — no gaps, no rattle, and properly anchored to handle south-westerly wind off the park. TJM installs with 100×100mm treated posts set in concrete and 150mm feather-edge boards for maximum overlap and weatherproofing. Standard specification for the long fence runs on Lidgett Lane, Talbot Road, and Devonshire Avenue.

Feather-Edge Panel Fencing

Pre-assembled feather-edge panels offer a uniform fence line at slightly lower cost than full close-board construction. Ideal for Roundhay’s straight residential boundaries where consistent height across a long run is the priority and ground conditions are straightforward. TJM supplies panels in standard 6-foot height with gravel boards as standard — important on Roundhay’s clay-overlaid rear gardens to protect the panel base from ground moisture and extend lifespan. Individual panels can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the run after storm damage.

Timber Panel Fencing

Lap and hit-and-miss timber panels suit smaller Roundhay gardens and boundary sections where full privacy is less critical, or where a more traditional open character is wanted. For properties near the Oakwood-boundary streets in southern LS8, traditional timber panel fencing suits the period character of the streetscape without the cost of composite. TJM fits treated and pressure-treated options across a range of post and cap styles, including picket for front boundaries where 1-metre height limits apply.

Composite Fencing

Composite fencing is the preferred choice on the premium end of the Roundhay market — the larger detached homes near Roundhay Park, the Park Avenue corridor, and properties on Mansion Lane where the finish and longevity of the installation are as important as the cost. No painting, staining, or annual treatment required. Composite handles Yorkshire’s wet winters without warping, rotting, or going green, and is available in finishes that complement both period brick properties and contemporary builds. Typical installed price in LS8: £130–£200+ per metre. TJM provides a written per-metre quote after the free site visit.

Fence Repairs and Storm Damage

Roundhay’s position immediately adjacent to 700 acres of Roundhay Park means the open-plan rear gardens on the park-side streets — Talbot Road semis, Princes Avenue, Mansion Lane — are in the direct path of south-westerly winds crossing the open grassland. Wind-blown panels and snapped posts are among the most common emergency fencing calls TJM receives from LS8, particularly October through March. If a storm has brought your fence down or left panels hanging, call 07745 240049 — TJM aims to assess storm damage the same day or next day and can arrange temporary boarding to secure your garden while full replacement materials are ordered.

Timber Gates

Most Roundhay fencing jobs include at least one timber gate — a side-passage gate on the older terrace or semi properties near Roundhay Road, a rear garden gate on the Edwardian semis, or a larger entrance gate on the substantial detached homes near the park. For premium properties with existing stone or brick gate piers — common on the older Park Avenue-adjacent streets — TJM builds gates to measure that respect the original architectural character, using the same treated timber as the fence with drop-bolt fixings and heavy-duty galvanised hinges. Prices from £350 for a standard single gate.

We cover the full range of Roundhay’s fencing market — from a gate repair on a Gledhow Valley Victorian terrace to the 80-metre boundary runs on the larger Edwardian properties near the park, and the premium composite installations on the detached homes that back up to the park itself.

For properties in Roundhay’s conservation areas — the Roundhay Conservation Area and the Gledhow Valley Conservation Area — we bring specific awareness of material choices that respect the conservation character and advise on this as part of the standard free site visit, at no extra charge.

Fencing Roundhay — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does garden fencing cost in Roundhay?

Close-board or feather-edge fencing in Roundhay and LS8 typically costs between £85 and £130 per metre, supplied and installed. Composite fencing runs from £130 to £200 or more per metre — the preferred option on the premium Roundhay properties. Timber gates start from £350. The large Edwardian and interwar semis on Lidgett Lane, Talbot Road, and Devonshire Avenue often have combined rear and side boundary runs of 40 to 80 metres — a typical 50-metre close-board installation in LS8 runs approximately £4,250 to £6,500 depending on ground conditions and access. TJM provides a free written quote after a no-obligation site visit with no pressure to proceed.

Does fencing near Roundhay’s conservation areas need planning permission?

In most cases, no. Fencing under 2 metres in a rear garden does not require planning permission in residential areas. For properties within the Roundhay Conservation Area or the Gledhow Valley Conservation Area, it is worth considering materials that respect the conservation character — traditional timber or stone-complementary finishes are generally appropriate without a formal planning application. TJM advises on any relevant material considerations as part of the free site visit. In the vast majority of Roundhay gardens, no planning application is needed, and TJM will flag the exceptions if they arise.

How long does a fencing job take in Roundhay?

A typical 50 to 80-metre boundary on a Roundhay Edwardian or interwar semi takes one to two days including post setting and panel installation. Smaller single-boundary jobs can be completed in a day. Larger jobs on the premium detached properties near Roundhay Park — longer runs, more complex access, or composite with a higher installation specification — may take two to three days. Storm damage assessments are carried out the same day or next day where possible. Materials are generally available within a week of the quote being accepted.

Can you fix storm-damaged fencing quickly in Roundhay?

Yes. Storm damage and wind-blown posts are among the most common emergency fencing calls TJM receives from Roundhay and LS8, given the suburb’s proximity to Roundhay Park’s open grassland. Call 07745 240049 and TJM will aim to assess the damage the same day or next day. Where a garden has been left open or unsecure, temporary boarding can be arranged to secure it while full replacement materials are ordered. Full replacement typically follows within a week of the initial assessment.

Do you cover Oakwood and the wider LS8 area as well as Roundhay?

Yes — TJM Landscapes covers all of Roundhay, Oakwood, and the wider LS8 postcode, as well as Chapel Allerton, Alwoodley, Moortown, and the surrounding North Leeds area. Roundhay and Oakwood share the LS8 postcode and TJM works across both without distinction. The boundary between them is informal and has no bearing on coverage. If you are unsure whether we cover your specific street, call 07745 240049 and we will confirm.
