Fencing in Taylors Hill — straight fences, fixed written quotes.
Taylors Hill is our next suburb over. We are there most weeks, and the fencing work is mostly the estate boundary runs put in when the suburb was developed now coming due for replacement.
Fencing in Taylors Hill, Victoria
We are about 3km from our base in Hillside, which means a quick site visit, a written quote within 48 hours, and a start date we keep.
Estate fencing reaching the end of its run
Taylors Hill filled in through the 2000s, so the original boundary fencing is now around twenty years old. Treated pine at that age is usually still standing but visibly finished — grey, cupped palings and rails that have started to sag between posts. It is the point where most owners decide to replace the whole run rather than keep patching sections of it.
Exposure on the higher ground
The suburb sits high, and the blocks up towards the Calder side catch the westerly weather properly. Wind is what finds a poorly built fence: if the posts were not dug to depth and concreted, a long unbraced run will start to lean within a few years. We set every post in concrete for that reason, and it is the main thing we would point at if you are comparing our quote against a cheaper one.
Sloping and stepped blocks
Not every block here is flat. Where the ground falls away we either step the fence down the slope in even drops or build a concrete sleeper retaining wall and run the fence above it. Which one makes sense depends on how much fall there is and what the neighbour's side looks like, and it is worth getting right the first time.

Questions
Fencing in Taylors Hill — common questions
How much does fencing cost in Taylors Hill?
As a guide, $90–$180 per linear metre for Colorbond and $75–$130 per metre for treated pine paling, supplied and installed. Blocks with fall that need stepping or a retaining wall sit above that, and we price those separately so you can see what the ground is costing you.
My fence leans in the wind. Can it be straightened?
Sometimes, if the posts are sound and it is the rails that have gone. More often a leaning fence means the posts were never properly footed, and the fix is new posts concreted to depth. We will tell you which it is on site.
Can you fence a sloping block?
Yes. We either step the fence down in even drops or build a concrete sleeper retaining wall and run the fence above it. On Taylors Hill blocks with real fall, the retaining option is usually the tidier answer.
Do you take the old fence away?
Yes. Removal and disposal is itemised in the quote and everything leaves with us.
Who pays for a fence between two properties?
Under the Victorian Fences Act 1968 neighbours generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. If you want something above that standard you usually cover the difference.
Do you cover all of Taylors Hill?
Yes, the whole suburb, no call-out fee. We are in Hillside, Caroline Springs, Fraser Rise and Plumpton most weeks as well.
