About Fencing in Hockley
Hockley is a small town in the Rochford district of Essex, best known locally for Hockley Woods, one of the largest remaining areas of ancient woodland in the county and a well used spot for walking. The town itself is mostly residential, developed through the twentieth century around an older village centre, with the woods and surrounding countryside giving it a greener feel than some of its more built up Essex neighbours.

Types of Materials found in Hockley
Hockley sits within the London Basin on London Clay, the water retentive clay found across much of south east Essex. Close to Hockley Woods and the surrounding higher ground, drainage tends to be somewhat better where sand and gravel deposits sit closer to the surface, a pattern found in pockets across this part of Essex. Away from these higher, sandier patches, most residential ground reverts to the typical clay dominant conditions of the wider area, which holds water and can be slower draining after sustained rain.
