Hard-wearing fencing and secure gates in Girrawheen, for owners and landlords who want it done once.
Own a rental here? The last thing you want is a fence you keep having to go back to. We build the sort that gets left alone for twenty years.
Girrawheen is one of the older suburbs in the City of Wanneroo, put together through the 1970s, and plenty of the fencing has never been touched since. Fifty years of Perth weather is well past what any timber or early steel fence was built for. Owners here are dealing with sheeting rusted through at the base, posts rotted off at ground level and gates that no longer lock. On a rental in particular, a failing fence turns into a maintenance call every few months.
The housing is mostly single-storey brick and tile on flat blocks, with a higher share of rental and investment properties than the suburbs around it. Ground conditions are sand over limestone, the same as everywhere else in the northern corridor, so digging is quick but posts have to go into concrete rather than straight into sand. Where a block has been built up around a shed or a patio, a low retaining wall goes in before the fence so the run stays level.
Everything is done by our own crew, retaining and fencing both, which means one point of contact and one price. We come out and measure on site whether you live in the house or manage it from the other side of town. You get a fixed-price quote in writing, and if you are an owner working through a property manager we are happy to deal with them directly.
We are in this pocket of Wanneroo most weeks, covering Marangaroo, Koondoola, Balga, Alexander Heights and Westminster along with Girrawheen. If you have more than one property across those suburbs, we can quote the lot in one go.

Colorbond is the sensible choice on a Girrawheen property because it asks nothing of you once it is up. No painting, no rot, no yearly once-over. Galvanised posts, steel rails and sheeting in whatever colour suits the house.
For rentals the case is even clearer. Timber gets damaged, warps and needs repainting. A Colorbond boundary is the sort of thing you put in and then forget about between tenancies, which is what most owners around here are after.
Garrison fencing, tubular steel and welded mesh do a different job to a boundary fence. They keep people out. We install security fencing around commercial yards, unit blocks, storage areas and any home where break-ins have been a problem.
Heights, spacing and topping get set to what the site actually needs rather than to a standard spec. Add a lockable or automated gate and the property is properly closed off instead of just marked out.
A secure gate matters more than the fence it sits in, because that is where people try first. We build single and double gates with heavy-duty hinges and drop bolts, sliding gates where a swing gate will not fit, and automated gates with keypad or remote entry.
On older properties the original gate is nearly always the weak point. Rusted hinges, a bent frame, or a latch that has not worked in years. If the rest of the fence is still sound we can rebuild and rehang just the gate.
Retaining work in Girrawheen is usually about levels created after the house was built, around a shed pad, a patio or a raised garden bed along the boundary. We build limestone block, concrete sleeper and panel and post walls, sized to the height involved.
Sand sitting behind a wall with no drainage will wash out and take the wall with it, so aggregate backfill and a drain line are part of every job. If a fence is going on top, the posts get set as the wall goes up.
A dividing fence between two properties is a shared responsibility, and that is where it gets awkward. We are used to it. We can quote the job, talk to the neighbour and split the invoice so both sides know exactly what they are up for.
Front boundary fencing is a different call again, since it sets what the street sees and how open the property feels. Aluminium slat, tubular steel or a low Colorbond run all work, and we will price whichever way you want to go.
We work right through the streets around Girrawheen too. Same crew, same fixed-price quote.
