About Fencing in Stevenage
Stevenage was the first town designated under the New Towns Act 1946, with development starting shortly after, built to a master plan that placed housing to the east and industry to the west, organised into distinct neighbourhoods each planned around 10,000 homes with their own shops, pub and community centre. The town also has a much older history as a coaching stop on the Great North Road, visible still in its Old Town area.

Types of Materials found in Stevenage
Stevenage sits on Hertfordshire's chalk bedrock, part of the wider Chiltern chalk formation, generally giving firm, workable ground once through any surface soil layer. As Britain's first postwar new town, much of Stevenage's residential land was carefully planned and engineered during construction through the late 1940s and 1950s, generally giving predictable conditions for fence post footings, while the older Old Town area, predating the new town development, sits on more typical undisturbed Hertfordshire ground.
