Can you remove conifer stumps completely, or just cut them back?

We remove conifer stumps fully, digging out the root system rather than leaving the stump in the ground, since leftover roots can cause the ground to shift and undermine any fencing or landscaping installed nearby afterwards.

Why use concrete posts instead of timber posts for a new fence?

Concrete posts are far more resistant to rot and ground movement than timber posts, meaning they typically last much longer and reduce the chances of the fence needing repair or replacement within a few years.

What are gravel boards and do I need them?

Gravel boards sit along the base of a fence panel, between the timber and the soil, and they help stop the fence panels sitting in damp ground, which significantly extends the life of the fence.

How long does it take to remove conifers and install a new fence?

Timings depend on the number and size of the conifer stumps and the length of fencing being installed, so it's best to get in touch for a project-specific estimate.

What size fence panels do you offer?

LNJ Maintenance supplies and fits a range of sizes, including 6x6, 6x5, 6x4, 6x3, and 6x2 panels, so the height can be tailored to the garden, budget, and privacy needed.

Do I need planning permission to remove conifers and put up a new fence?

In most residential gardens, removing conifers and replacing an existing boundary fence with one of a similar height doesn't require planning permission, though there can be exceptions, such as near a road or a protected tree, so it's worth checking with the local council if unsure.

Overgrown conifers are a common problem for homeowners — they grow quickly, block light, and eventually leave behind a row of stubborn stumps once they’re cut back or removed. For this project, our customer wanted the old conifer stumps cleared completely and replaced with a boundary that would actually last: quality timber fencing.

We started by removing the conifer stumps in full, digging them out at the root rather than just cutting them back to ground level. This matters because leftover stumps and root systems can cause the ground to shift over time, which in turn undermines any new fencing installed nearby — so getting a clean, complete removal was the essential first step before any fence posts went in.

With the ground cleared and levelled, we supplied and installed a full run of new fencing, built to last:

6×5 treated featheredge fence panels — a classic, durable choice that gives excellent privacy and a neat, uniform finish
Concrete posts — far more durable than timber posts, resistant to rot, and won’t need replacing every few years
Gravel boards — fitted along the base of the fence to keep the timber panels clear of the soil, reducing damp and extending the life of the fence significantly

The result is a clean, tidy boundary that replaces an overgrown, high-maintenance conifer line with a fence that requires next to no upkeep — no more trimming, no more falling needles, and no more light being blocked out by tall hedging.

Fencing options available

While this project used 6×5 featheredge panels, we also supply and fit:

6×6, 6×4, 6×3, and 6×2 panels for smaller or lower fence lines
All styles tailored to your garden layout and budget
