Fencing & Landscapes · Essex
Beautiful boundaries.Exceptional outdoor spaces.
Bespoke timber fencing, garden gates, decking and landscaping — designed, crafted and installed across Essex and beyond.
Welcome to Oak & Boundary
Outdoor spaces designed to be lived in
We're a small, hands-on team of fencing and landscaping specialists working across Essex and the surrounding counties. Every boundary we build is tailored to the way you use your garden — for privacy, for shelter, for entertaining, or simply to frame a view.
From a single run of closeboard to a full garden renovation, we bring the same care to materials, joinery and finish. The result is outdoor spaces that look considered from the first day and age gracefully for years.

The difference

Questions
Good to know
Most residential fences up to 2m, or 1m next to a highway, don't need planning permission under permitted development. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or the fence borders a road, restrictions can apply. We confirm the rules for your specific plot during the survey.
Closeboard is built from individual vertical boards nailed to horizontal rails and arris rails — stronger, taller and easier to repair panel-by-panel. Overlap (or 'waney lap') uses horizontal overlapping boards fixed to a frame — lighter and more budget-friendly but a little less wind-resistant.
Pressure-treated softwood typically lasts 15–20 years when properly installed with concrete or timber posts and good drainage. Premium cedar and composite last longer again. We recommend annual checks and a fresh treatment every few years to keep the timber protected.
Yes — we offer a full removal and responsible disposal service. It's charged per linear metre and quoted up front so there are no surprises. We'll also check for any hazards such as asbestos panels before dismantling.
We install year-round weather permitting. Heavy frost, prolonged rain or waterlogged ground can delay fitting to protect both the materials and your garden. We keep you updated and reschedule promptly.
We typically book surveys within a week of enquiry, with installations scheduled 2–4 weeks after the survey depending on the season and materials lead times. We'll give you a firm date at quotation.
