FENCING HIGHTON

JC Fencing and Gates builds fencing, gates and retaining walls in Highton. Blocks here often fall across the boundary, so a large share of our work in the suburb combines stepped or raked fencing with timber sleeper retaining walls, planned together as one job rather than two.

Fencing in Highton — what we see locally

Highton sits on rising ground on Geelong's south-western side, and the slope is the defining feature of fencing work here. A fence built straight across a falling boundary leaves gaps underneath; a fence stepped down without planning looks awkward from both sides. We set out the line first, then decide whether to rake the panels with the ground or step them in sections.

That slope is also why retaining comes up so often. Where the fall is significant, the tidiest answer is usually a low sleeper retaining wall with the fence sitting on top, which levels the yard and removes the gap in one go. Quoting the retaining and the fencing together is almost always cheaper than bringing a second trade back later.

The suburb is well established, so most jobs are replacements rather than first fencing. That means old footings to dig out, mature gardens to work around and neighbours on both sides who need to be part of the conversation. It also means the fence you are replacing usually tells us exactly why it failed — and we can design that failure point out of the new one.

Fencing in Highton — common questions

How do you fence a sloping block?
Either by raking the panels so they follow the ground, or by stepping them down in sections, depending on the steepness and the look you want. Where the fall is significant a low retaining wall under the fence is usually the neater solution.
Do I need a retaining wall as well as a fence?
Not always, but where there is a real fall across the boundary it is often the better outcome — it levels usable yard and removes the gap under the fence. We will tell you at the site visit whether it is worth doing.
Can you quote the retaining wall and the fence together?
Yes, and we prefer to. Planning them as one structure means post positions, heights and drainage all line up, and you avoid paying twice to get a team to the same boundary.
Will you dig out the old concrete footings?
Yes. Old footings are removed rather than worked around, because leaving them buried is the main reason replacement fences end up with posts in compromised positions.
