Fencing in Edith Weston
Edith Weston is a stone village on the south shore of Rutland Water, with a green, a number of substantial houses, and St George's Barracks next door. Garden projects here tend to be terraces, outdoor rooms and lighting designed around the views, and fencing plays a supporting role: screening a seating area from a neighbour, hiding storage, or marking a boundary without closing off the outlook. It rarely needs to dominate.
Composite and aluminium slatted fencing on aluminium posts is well suited to this, with screens and LED-lit capping that match the rest of the design. For side boundaries between houses, closeboard timber on concrete posts with gravel boards gives a solid, private run at a lower cost, and we fit gates to match either system. Clay pockets in the limestone mean we dig before setting out, and every post goes into concrete at the depth the ground actually needs.
What makes Edith Weston different
Edith Weston sits on the limestone plateau above the reservoir, and most plots drain reasonably well, though clay pockets turn up. We dig before setting posts so a post that lands in a clay pocket gets the depth it needs. Rutland Water carries negligible flood risk according to Rutland's flood strategy, and the village is not one it names for river flooding. The conservation area has no Article 4 direction, and natural materials are the right choice in it.
A typical Edith Weston job is a substantial house with a new or existing terrace, where a run of aluminium slatted screening gives privacy from next door, with LED-lit capping, and closeboard fencing continues along the side boundaries. The screen is placed so that it hides the neighbour's windows or a storage area while leaving the main outlook across the garden clear.
