Landscapers in Portchester and Paulsgrove
Portchester sits between Fareham and Portsmouth on the flat ground south of Portsdown Hill, with the castle out on the promontory at the top of the harbour. We've done jobs in Portchester itself.

What's different about working in Portchester
Being this close to the water makes a practical difference. Salt air is hard on timber and on fixings, so it's worth spending a little more on posts and ironmongery than you would inland: concrete posts and galvanised fittings last a great deal longer than the basic option. We'll tell you honestly where the extra cost is worth it and where it isn't, even when that means a smaller job for us.
Planning in Portchester
Portchester is in Fareham borough, so planning goes to Fareham Borough Council, even though the harbour and the postcode make it feel like Portsmouth. Paulsgrove, just along the A27, is inside the city, so that's Portsmouth City Council instead. Castle Street is one of the borough's thirteen conservation areas, designated in 1969 and extended in 1975, and it has had an Article 4 direction since June 2015. That takes away some of the rights you'd normally have, so work that's usually allowed can need permission there. If you're in those streets, check before anything is ordered and we'll help you find the right page.

Questions people ask us in Portchester
Which council covers Portchester?
Fareham Borough Council for planning. Paulsgrove is different: that's Portsmouth City Council.
What lasts best this close to the harbour?
Concrete posts and galvanised fittings. Salt gets at timber and at cheap ironmongery first, and the posts are the part you don't want to redo.
Will you look at a single panel?
Yes. We're happy to quote for one panel as well as a whole boundary.
