Need a hand with landscaping? We work with several well renowned landscaping companies who can assist with designing your dream garden to match your new fence.

If your land is sloping or uneven, there's a few options available to ensure your fencing performs and looks great at the same time!​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

1. Stepped Fencing
•     Ideal for steep drops
•     Fence panels are installed horizontally, with each section stepping down the slope
•     Creates a tiered look and maintains panel integrity
•     May leave small gaps at the bottom, which can be filled with metal or treated pine sleepers

       for security or visual continuity (and to ensure pets can't escape!)​​​​​​​​​​

​

2. Cut to Slope (or Raked/Contoured) Fencing
•     Best for gentle slopes
•     Panels or pickets are angled to follow the slope’s contour - the bottom of the fencing follows           the slope of the land
•     Offers a smooth, flowing appearance without abrupt height changes
•     Requires precise measuring and cutting for a seamless finish

​

3. Hybrid Designs
•     Combines stepped fencing on steep sections with cut to slope fencing on milder gradients
•     Useful for properties with mixed terrain
•     Can be paired with retaining walls or raised planters to level out sections

​

​No matter your block, we can design a fence to suit your functional requirements and aesthetic preferences!

In New South Wales, the legislation that governs how fencing costs are shared between neighbours is the Dividing Fences Act 1991.

Here’s a breakdown of the key information:

​

•  If you and your neighbour both agree that a dividing fence is needed, you're generally expected to split the cost 50/50 which is including materials, labour, and removal of any old fencing.  Try approaching your neighbour to discuss what's required and come to an amicable agreement. It can be helpful to seek multiple quotes to get a good scope of pricing and to have the opportunity to discuss your job with different fencing professionals to get their advice. 

•  The law only requires payment for a “sufficient” fence i.e. one that reasonably separates the properties. If one neighbour wants something fancier (like premium materials or extra height), they usually have to cover the extra cost themselves.

•  If your neighbour doesn’t agree to share the cost, you can serve them a Fencing Notice outlining your proposal. If you still can’t agree, you can apply to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) or the Local Court to resolve the matter.

•   If the existing fence needs fixing, both parties are generally responsible for half the cost, unless one person caused the damage through negligence, in which case they may be liable for the full amount.

​

At JK Fencing, we aim to make the process as smooth and easy as possible when it comes to splitting the costs between you and your neighbour. We can issue separate invoices to both parties for both your deposit and final invoices. Unfortunately, we cannot mediate fencing disputes and cannot commence works until given approval by both parties.​

Remember, the above information is general in nature and it is your responsibility to do your own research when it comes to your individual situation. You can find the Divding Fences Act here:

Rainy and Windy Weather.

•     Why it matters: Rain, high winds, or soggy ground can make digging post holes impossible or unsafe. Rainy weather limits the use of power tools, rain can lead to muddy conditions which cause slip and trip hazards and high winds can catch materials and make it unsafe to carry them. 
•    Impacts : Wet soil collapses easily, and concrete won’t set properly in poor conditions. You'll be left with a fence that's unstable or leaning - not what we want for our clients!

Underground Obstacles
•     Why it matters: Tree roots, rocks, or unmarked utilities can complicate digging. Larger tree roots or tree stumps often need to be professionally removed/ground down.
•     Impact: Each post hole might take significantly longer to excavate or there may be overall delays whilst we await clearance.​

​​

Overgrown Bushes and Foliage

•     Why it matters: When we assess your site during the quoting process, we carefully consider access and surrounding conditions to provide the most accurate timeframe possible. If there are any obstacles - like dense foliage or hidden vines - it’s  essential we’re made aware upfront, as these can affect both planning and execution

•     Impact: Thick vegetation around existing fencing can significantly slow down progress. Clearing overgrown bushes, tangled vines, or invasive plants takes extra time and care, which may extend the overall duration of your installation. Preparing the site properly ensures a smoother, safer, and more efficient build

​

Limited Access​

•     Why it matters: Installing your new fence involves use of large tools, bulky materials like posts and sheets and concrete. 

•     Impact: Limited access such as narrow pathways as well as overgrown gardens or bulky garden furniture can make access difficult which can delay the progress of your job. We request where possible that the area is left tidy with gates unlocked and pets safely locked up whilst we work.

​

We will always communicate with you as to any potentially delays to ensure minimal disruption and inconvenience.​​​​​​

Colorbond fencing will generally be the most affordable style of fencing on a per metre rate basis. 

Lap and cap and treated pine is generally a moderately priced option, with slat fencing and custom aluminium fencing being on the higher end of the pricing scale.
