Adding rock-faced gravel boards behind a border so soil doesn't sit against timber panels, relevant concrete post & gravel board fencing detail for GU10 properties near Badshot Lea

The local brief behind the build

Tongham is inside our 30-mile core area, so site visits are arranged within a week and project supervision is daily, not weekly.
We've spent enough time on GU10 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a concrete post fence - the exposed corner plots in Farnborough, Aldershot and Fleet where timber posts snap in the first winter storm that gets missed when a national firm quotes from a desk.
Quotes are written, fixed and broken down by stage, with the same crew on site from day one through to clean-down.

FAQs - Concrete Post & Gravel Board Fencing in Tongham

How is the quote made specific to this property?: It records excavation or foundation assumptions, materials, disposal, access, programme and exclusions. The allowance is based on the measured site rather than copied from another town.
What changes the specification around Tongham?: The first local issue we check is shared boundaries where the old posts have to be extracted without damaging the neighbour's panels. We also look at access, levels and whether Guildford Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Badshot Lea as part of the same local run?: Yes. Badshot Lea sits within our normal Tongham working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU10 site visit?: A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.
