Fencing built for Aberfeldie's streets and blocks

Aberfeldie is a different job to a new estate. You've got interwar and Californian bungalows sitting beside contemporary rebuilds, generous frontages, established gardens, and streets where the front fence is a big part of how the house reads. A fence that looks fine in a growth-corridor estate can look badly out of place here — so most of our Aberfeldie work is about matching the proportions and materials of the street, not just filling a gap.

The blocks toward the Maribyrnong River end often fall away at the rear, which means boundary work frequently needs levelling or a low retaining wall before a fence goes anywhere. We build both, so you're not coordinating a landscaper and a fencer who each blame the other for the finished height.

What we're most often asked to do in Aberfeldie

Access, parking and the practical stuff

Side access in Aberfeldie is often tight, and established gardens, paving and irrigation sit right against the boundary. We plan post holes and spoil removal around what's already there, hand-dig where a machine would do damage, and protect finished surfaces rather than working across them.

Quoting and credentials

We aim to attend within 48 hours of your enquiry and have a fixed written quote back to you within 24 hours of the visit — no "site conditions" surprises part-way through. Mickleham Fencing is CM3 qualified and carries $20 million public liability insurance, with certificates available on request for body corporates, builders and commercial sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aberfeldie fencing questions, answered

How much does a front fence cost in Aberfeldie?
As a guide, powder-coated aluminium or steel picket fencing runs about $320–$520 per linear metre installed depending on height, picket spacing and whether gates are included. Colorbond side and rear boundaries are usually $90–$180 per metre, and timber picket sits between the two. Heritage-style detailing, stepped frontages and retaining work are quoted separately so you can see exactly what each part costs.
Do I need council approval for a front fence in Aberfeldie?
It depends on height and whether your property sits in a heritage overlay. Moonee Valley City Council generally allows front fences up to a set height without a permit, with lower limits on streets subject to heritage controls, and corner blocks have sightline rules. We'll tell you at the quote stage what's likely to need approval — but confirm with council before you commit, since the responsibility sits with the property owner.
Can you match a neighbour's existing fence or the look of the street?
Yes. We can match Colorbond colours across the standard range, match picket spacing and heights to what's already on the street, and mix materials so the frontage suits the house while the side boundaries stay practical and low-maintenance.
Can you work with tight side access and established gardens?
Yes — it's most of what we do in the inner north-west. Where a machine would damage paving, lawn or irrigation we hand-dig, barrow spoil out, and protect surfaces as we go. We'll flag any access constraints at the quote rather than discovering them on day one.
Are you insured to work in Aberfeldie?
Yes. Mickleham Fencing is CM3 qualified and carries $20 million public liability insurance, plus current trade qualifications. Certificate of currency and CM3 certification are available on request, which is usually what body corporates and builders need before work starts.
