About Fencing in Hemel Hempstead
Hemel Hempstead became a designated new town in February 1947 under the same postwar programme that shaped Stevenage and Harlow, built around an older market town whose Old Town core, with its wide historic High Street, still survives alongside the newer planned neighbourhoods. The Water Gardens in the town centre, a formal landscaped park along the River Gade, remain a distinctive local feature from the original new town design. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering postcodes HP1 through HP3. Local tradespeople listed here can advise on the right fencing for your property and offer a free quote.

Types of Materials found in Hemel Hempstead
Hemel Hempstead sits within a valley cut by the River Gade through Hertfordshire's chalk bedrock, giving a mix of river valley sand and gravel deposits closer to the water and more typical chalk geology on the higher ground either side. As with Stevenage and Harlow, much of the town's residential land was engineered during its postwar new town construction, generally giving predictable ground conditions for fence post footings, while properties in the Old Town sit on more typical undisturbed valley ground.

Is the ground in Hemel Hempstead suitable for fence posts?
Ground varies with position in the Gade valley, from sand and gravel deposits nearer the river to chalk on higher ground either side. As a planned new town, much of the residential land was engineered during construction.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Hemel Hempstead?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Hemel Hempstead. Dacorum Council can confirm any extra rules for properties in the Old Town conservation area.
Does Hemel Hempstead's valley setting affect fencing?
Properties closer to the River Gade and the Water Gardens can encounter softer, damper ground than those on the higher ground either side of the valley, worth factoring into fence post depth.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Hemel Hempstead?
Dacorum Council operates household waste recycling centres in the borough that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
