The two-man team

Gary & Paul. Every job.

We're a proper two-man outfit based in Harewood. Between us we've got decades of graft in landscaping and construction — fencing, decking, sheds, stonework, the full lot. If you ring us, you get us. Not a call centre, not a sub.

We started GW Fencing because too many gardens get rushed. Posts put in shallow, panels that warp the first winter, sheds dropped on bare soil. We take the time to do it right — level ground, concrete posts where they belong, proper fixings — and we leave your garden tidier than we found it.

Most of our work comes by word of mouth around Wetherby, Alwoodley and Roundhay. That only works if the job's solid ten years later.

"Gary and Paul put up around 28m of closeboard fencing and a side gate for us in Alwoodley. Old stuff was rotten, they had it out and new posts in concrete the same day. Priced fairly, turned up when they said, and hoovered up every offcut. Spot on."

"Had a big raised deck put in off the back of the kitchen. Paul's carpentry is genuinely lovely — hidden fixings, tight joints, level all the way across. It's been through a winter already and not a movement. Will have them back for the summer house next spring."

"Bought a 10x8 apex shed through GW Fencing — they sourced it cheaper than I could and laid a proper concrete base before putting it up. Much tidier than the last one I had up by a big-name company. Felt the roof, sorted the hasps, job done in a day."

"Whole garden transformation — old concrete out, new fencing all the way round, hardwood decking, shed, slabbed patio, the lot. Gary managed it brilliantly, kept us in the loop, and came in exactly on the written quote. Our garden is unrecognisable."

"Storm took out two panels and a post. Rang Gary on the Monday, he was round with Paul the Wednesday and it was back up matching the rest by lunchtime. Honest price, no trying it on. Will use them again."

Questions, answered

The ones we get most weeks.

For standard garden fencing we mainly use pressure-treated softwood (UC4 grade for anything going in the ground). For decking we run softwood as the go-to, with hardwood options like iroko, balau or composite for bigger budgets. All our timber comes from proper UK suppliers, not cheap shed-grade stuff — that's where most "rotten in three years" fences come from.
Honest answer: concrete posts last longer and won't rot at ground level, but they're heavier, more industrial-looking and more expensive. Timber posts look warmer and are cheaper, but need pressure-treated spec and proper concrete foundations. For a long boundary run we'd usually push concrete; for a smaller, decorative panel run we'll happily do timber. We talk it through at the quote.
A straightforward back-garden fence run (say 15–25 metres, concrete posts, gravel boards, 6ft panels) is usually 1–2 days for the two of us. A decent-sized deck is 2–4 days depending on raised build or ground-level. A full garden transformation — fence, deck, shed, slabbed area — runs 1–2 weeks. We'll give you a working day count on the quote so you can plan.
Yes — and it's where most sheds go wrong. We lay a level base before anything goes up: concrete slab for anything over 8x6ft or heavy use, or a pressure-treated timber frame on plastic shed-base grids for smaller ones. A shed on bare soil will warp, the door will stop shutting, and the floor will rot. Get the base right and a decent shed will easily give you 15+ years.
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months from completion — if a post shifts, a panel fails on our fixing, or a decking joist comes loose, we come back and sort it, no argument. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties (typically 15–25 years on pressure-treated timber and concrete posts). We're fully public liability insured on every job.
Anything from a single storm-damaged panel up to a full back-garden re-build. Most of our work sits between £400 (a small repair) and £15,000 (a full garden with fence, deck, shed and patio). Because it's just Gary & Paul we don't juggle five jobs at once — when we're on yours, we're on yours, start to finish.
