Garden Fencing 

After garden drainage one of the next steps is deciding what garden fencing and garden gates are needed to complement and secure the garden layout. 
 
Garden fencing and garden gate materials have improved so much in the last few years that there is a whole array of designs and materials to choose from. 
Fencing a garden no longer needs to be functional. Garden fencing panels come in a whole range of shapes and sizes. From a six foot square panel or a bamboo fencing panel, to a timber fencing panel that has a decorative top. 
 
Garden fencing can also be used in different parts of the garden to form a garden screen that separates one part of your garden from the next. 
 
Finally, when it comes to fencing and security the addition of a garden gate can complement a garden more than most people realise. Modern technology now means that garden gates come in many different materials. These include timber gates, steel gates, iron gates and ornamental gates.  
 
These can be fitted where ever you need access or want a gate in your garden. This might be garden driveway gates or garden side gates, to name just a few of the various options. 
 
At Duxburys garden services, our trained team can help you decided which of these will work best for you and what you want to achieve.

Staining pressure treated wood read more > 
Wooden fences give a great look to the exterior of a house and the best way to preserve them is by painting or staining them. Pressure treated wood is used for building projects as they are rot and insect resistant. Pressure treated wood fences are very long lasting and durable and the best way to make it last long is by painting or staining it. 
 
Before staining your wooden fence, you have to decide on the kind of stain you want to apply on it. There are basically 3 types of stains. Clear wood stain, semi transparent stains and solid stains. You can choose a clear stain if you want the natural colour of the wood to be seen, after the stain has been applied. A semi transparent stain adds a beautiful colour to the wood, but still the original wood colour and texture can be seen. Solid stains are more like paint and it covers the wood completely.
