Those cramped Victorian terraces around Morden station deserve proper boundaries just as much as the spacious plots near Morden Park. Closeboard panels transform any garden into a private sanctuary, whether you're dealing with nosy neighbours or just want to enjoy your morning coffee in peace.

Morden's mix of housing styles throws up interesting challenges when it comes to garden boundaries. From the compact courtyards behind the shops on London Road to the generous gardens backing onto Morden Hall Park, closeboard fencing adapts brilliantly. The overlapping vertical boards handle our clay soil's seasonal movement far better than cheaper panel alternatives. Plus, that satisfying 'thunk' when you close your back gate properly – nothing quite beats it.
Construction begins with concrete posts set 600mm deep – essential given how Morden's London clay expands and contracts. Arris rails slot neatly into mortices, creating the framework for 100mm featherboard strips. Each board overlaps its neighbour by 25mm, forming that distinctive weatherproof barrier. Gravel boards at the base protect against the inevitable splash-back from those sudden summer downpours we get rolling in from Sutton direction.
Twenty years fitting fences between St Helier's post-war semis and Lower Morden's newer developments brings perspective. Local knowledge matters when you're navigating party wall agreements or working around mature trees protected by Merton Council.

Most three-bed semis in SM4 run between £2,800-£3,600 for full perimeter fencing. Corner plots near Morden Park obviously push higher, while those tidy squares off Hillcross Avenue tend toward the lower end.
Absolutely – from the Hatfeild estate right through to Tudor Drive, we know every corner of SM4. Regular jobs pop up everywhere from Ravensbury to those lovely roads behind Morden Baptist Church.
Standard suburban gardens typically wrap up within 2-3 days. Those awkward L-shaped plots common around Lower Morden might stretch to 4 days, especially if we're removing old concrete posts.
Every closeboard installation carries decade-long protection against rot and structural failure. That includes free call-outs if posts shift or boards warp – though honestly, pressure-treated timber handles Morden's weather remarkably well.
Stepped panels follow gradients beautifully – we measure the fall and calculate board heights accordingly. The result looks infinitely better than those gap-toothed attempts at following slopes with rigid panels.
