About Fencing in Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth sits where three rivers, the Colne, Chess and Gade, meet, along with the Grand Union Canal, giving the town an unusually watery setting for Hertfordshire. The surrounding area includes a number of flooded former gravel pits now used for sailing and nature reserves, a legacy of the aggregate quarrying that once took place here. The town centre retains a good number of older buildings alongside more recent housing spreading out along the valley. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the WD3 postcode area. Local tradespeople listed here can advise on the right fencing for your property and offer a free quote.

Types of Materials found in Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth sits at the confluence of three rivers, where extensive sand and gravel deposits, historically quarried for aggregate, overlie the chalk bedrock typical of Hertfordshire. Ground closer to the rivers and former gravel workings can be softer and, in some areas, sit near flooded former pits, while higher ground away from the immediate valley is generally firmer, benefiting from the underlying chalk.
