Taunton is Somerset's county town, surrounded by farmland and within sight of the Quantock and Blackdown Hills. Its homes range from Victorian terraces near the centre to new estates at Monkton Heathfield and Comeytrowe.
Whether you need a garden fence, a rural boundary or a new gate, we can help you get quotes from local contractors.
Town gardens and rural boundaries
Close to the River Tone and the Somerset Levels, some gardens are low-lying and can be damp for long periods. Concrete posts and gravel boards are a sensible choice here.
On the edge of town and in the villages, gardens back onto farmland. Post-and-rail fencing with stock mesh and traditional field gates are common, alongside closeboard fencing for privacy closer to the house.

Fencing in Taunton: your questions answered
What fencing is best for keeping livestock out of my garden?
Post-and-rail fencing with stock mesh is the usual choice. For extra privacy, you can plant a hedge behind it or add a closeboard section near the house.
Do I need permission for a gate from my garden onto farmland?
Replacing an existing gate like-for-like doesn't usually need consent. A new opening onto farmland or a road may involve the landowner or the highways authority, so check before installing.
