Fencing Supply
We manufacture and supply high-quality wooden fencing panels, including feather edge, larch lap, and shiplap designs. All products are pre-treated for durability and available in standard or bespoke sizes. Our materials are sourced sustainably, ensuring long-lasting performance and aesthetic appeal for residential properties.
Gate Installation
Our team installs custom gates tailored to your property's security and design needs. Options include closeboard, trellis, and picket styles, with accessories like locks and hinges. Installations ensure smooth operation and seamless integration with existing fencing systems.
Decking Services
We design and build raised decking solutions to enhance outdoor living spaces. Using pressure-treated timber, our decks withstand UK weather while offering low-maintenance durability. Custom features include steps, lighting, and decorative borders to match your garden's layout.
Shed Construction
Our sheds are crafted from premium shiplap cladding and 50x50 timber framing for strength. Available in apex, pent, or summerhouse styles, they can be customised with partition walls, guttering, and double doors to suit storage or workspace needs.
Landscaping
We offer comprehensive landscaping services, including sleeper beds, turfing, and decorative borders. Our designs focus on functionality and visual appeal, transforming gardens into low-maintenance, beautiful spaces tailored to client preferences.

Dealt with Rob & Rich who were both friendly, knowledgeable and patient in our slow decision making! Our new fence and trellises look amazing, our garden has been transformed. The guys who installed were really friendly and tidy and helped us cat proof as best as possible. Highly recommend.

Very positive experience with First Choice Fencing. Had new fencing and turf laid in February, the team were friendly, professional, on time and got the job done in a day. They were reasonably priced too. I'd have no hesitation to recommend them or use them again.
