Fencing Illawong

In Illawong, we deal with sloped and uneven blocks all the time. It’s part of what makes the area so unique. The right fencing solution really depends on your land and the look you want. For gradual slopes, we can install a fence that follows the contour of the ground/. This style of fence installation is known as a raked design. For steeper gradients, a stepped design works best, where each section or panel is set at a slightly different height and gradually steps down to follow the gradient of the land.

Colorbond and aluminium slat fences work well for this because they’re sturdy and can be adjusted to suit the slope. Timber’s a good option too if you want something natural-looking and easy to customise. Whatever the layout, we make sure the job’s done properly. Fencing Illawong properties can take a little more time due to the steep slopes but all it takes is a little extra planning and attention during the install, but we’ve done it all before.

Absolutely! We specialise in combined fencing and retaining wall solutions, which are often needed in Illawong due to the hilly terrain. Building both at the same time not only saves time and money but also ensures the structure is sound from the ground up. We can install timber or concrete sleeper retaining walls and integrate your chosen fence right on top or behind the wall, depending on your preference and the site requirements. It’s a great way to level out a yard and create a clean, usable outdoor space.

Not if it’s done right. If you’re lucky enough to have a property overlooking the Woronora River or Georges River, we can design fencing that protects your boundary without obstructing the view. We often use aluminium slat fencing with wider spacing or shorter custom heights that keep the view open while still defining your boundary. For those seeking both privacy and views, we recommend a Colorbond fence with toppers. The solid panel down the bottom of the fence provides privacy, whilst the topper section can allow for a more see-through design to maintain partial views and allow natural light. For front or side boundaries, we can customise the height and spacing of the fence to strike a balance between privacy and visibility. We’ll work with the natural lines of your block so you can still enjoy the view while keeping your property secure.

Yes, there can be. Properties that back onto bushland or sit close to the Georges or Woronora Rivers may be subject to additional regulations around fence height, materials, and fire resistance. If your land is in a bushfire-prone zone, for example, it’s highly advisable to use non-combustible materials like Colorbond and maintain certain clearances from vegetation. There may also be environmental overlays that affect how close you can build to waterways. These rules apply to both residential and commercial fencing, and we’re familiar with the local fencing regulations and can guide you through the process so everything is up to code.

Definitely, and in many Illawong properties, it actually makes a lot of sense. For example, you might want a full-height Colorbond fence along the sides and back for privacy, but something lower or more decorative like a timber picket or slatted aluminium fence at the front to maintain street appeal. This is especially common with residential fencing in Illawong, where homeowners want privacy out back but something more open or stylish out front.

We can help you combine different styles seamlessly, so it looks intentional and ties in with your home’s overall design. Just give us a call on (02) 9538 7409 if you already have a mix-and-match design in mind!
