Fencing and Gates for homes in Downham Market
Landscaping Norfolk provides fencing and gates in Downham Market and across the wider King's Lynn and West Norfolk area. With 25 years of experience in hard landscaping and groundworks, we build to last: proper preparation, the right materials for the site and a clean finish. Every job starts with a site visit and a clear written quote, and we are based in Norfolk so Downham Market is well within our normal working area.
Downham Market is a carstone market town on the edge of the Fens, with the flat fenland stretching west to the Ouse. High water tables and silty ground call for drainage and a solid, well-compacted base under paving and driveways.
Good fencing does two jobs: it looks right and it stays up in a Norfolk gale. We build and repair every common style of fence, from close-board and panel fencing for gardens to post and rail and stock fencing for paddocks and boundaries.
Local knowledge
Fencing & Gates and the ground around Downham Market
The open, flat fenland around Downham Market gives the wind a clear run at any fence. Silty ground needs deep, well-concreted posts, and we build close-board and panel fencing here with heavier posts and gravel boards to cope.
Many properties in Downham Market are period houses, and a good number sit within the conservation area. We are used to matching brick, flint and stone, working with natural materials and keeping a tidy, considerate site on narrow streets and shared access.

What is the difference between close-board and panel fencing?
Close-board fencing is built on site from individual feather edge boards nailed to arris rails, which makes it stronger and easier to repair. Panel fencing uses pre-made panels slotted between posts, which is quicker and usually cheaper. Both are good options; close-board copes better in exposed spots.
How deep do fence posts need to be?
For a standard six-foot fence we set posts a minimum of 600mm into the ground, in concrete. Taller fences and exposed coastal sites go deeper.
Timber or concrete posts?
Concrete posts last longer and let you swap panels easily. Timber posts look better, especially with close-board fencing. We fit both, and can use concrete gravel boards with timber posts as a middle ground.
