Acoustic fencing for noisy boundaries
Gap-free, high-mass timber that takes the edge off road and railway noise — specified, not guessed.
Ordinary closeboard helps a little with privacy. It does not behave like an acoustic fence. Acoustic systems use denser boards, overlapping joints with no gaps, and a mass that reflects and absorbs sound rather than letting it through the face.
In Hertfordshire the demand sits along the A1(M) at Welwyn and Hatfield, the A414, railway edges, and school-adjacent gardens in Stevenage. We do not promise a laboratory decibel figure on a windy plot. We specify a proper acoustic product, set it on a continuous line, and are honest about what a garden fence can and cannot do. Pair with [closeboard](/services/closeboard-fencing/) on quieter elevations if you want one language around the plot.

What our clientssay
They understood that a St Albans terrace needed closeboard, not a thin panel. The survey was unhurried and the reverse face is as considered as the garden side.
Our Cassiobury composite fence was specified properly — aluminium posts, a grain that still looks like timber. No hard sell on extras we did not need.
Horizontal slats instead of a suburban overlap panel. It sits with the house. Communication through the install was excellent.
The railings on the frontage look as if they have always been there. They rebuilt the piers rather than pretending the old masonry would last.
