What sort of costs might be expected for getting a half-dead front garden hedge, in outer SW London, replaced with a fence or wall, about waist height. Not a few wires strung along, not diamond-mesh wire.
Length can be taken as ten metres; neither end meets anything solid.
Cost of materials is very easy to work out yourself depending on your choice. What you really pay somebody for is digging and cementing the posts in place. Once they are there it is one of the easiest DIY jobs there is to screw/nail whatever fence you want to attach to them.
I did ours myself - around 40m in total a few years ago. Replaced plenty of big bushes and trees. A real workout to dig through the roots.
That is why I am asking about costs; that decides what is wanted. At the p resent stage, no other information is of any use at all.
It's not a house. This is a respectable road, with very mixed occupancy; g arden fronts in sight from here include flat, wooden palings, wooden planks , various low, middle, and high brick, some including a topping of vegetati on, all in various states of maintenance - and our decrepit hedge. Wooden railings, with a thin flower-bed behind would be adequate. There is no sec urity aspect; there has always been a gap at one end.
H'mmm - the cheapest option would I suppose be to saw the hedge down at low
The street is about a century and a half old. The properties are of all ages since that, and of widely different values. This property dates from 1980; two opposite are somewhat younger
The property was built with the hedge which is now dying.
I don't any exact figures; just a probable ballpark value for the major classes of boundary, to guide the residents.
