Side Fencing in Turramurra: the short answer

Fencing and Landscaping Experts provide side fencing throughout Turramurra, NSW 2074, in Ku-ring-gai Council's area on the Upper North Shore. The ground here is reactive clay that moves seasonally, so footings are sized for clay that swells and shrinks through the seasons, which is what pushes undersized posts out of plumb. Bushfire prone land applies to much of the suburb, so material within the asset protection zone has to be non-combustible. For side fencing in Turramurra, the standard is a 1.8m side boundary fence. Per lineal metre supplied and installed, after a free on-site measure. Licensed in NSW, insured to $20 million. Phone 0492 879 796.

Side Fencing in Turramurra 2074

We work on side fencing throughout Turramurra 2074. The service is the long run down the side of the block, usually the hardest fence to get to and the one that shows every setting-out error, and in this suburb one thing shapes it more than anything else. Turramurra blocks that back onto the Lane Cove valley need stepped or raked fencing rather than a level run, and often a retaining wall before the fence can go up at all.

Side boundaries are where access problems live. Materials often have to come through a gate barely wider than a wheelbarrow, and the run has to stay dead straight over its full length, so we set out off confirmed corner points rather than measuring off the house. Upper North Shore side boundaries are long — 40 to 60 metres is normal — and they usually pass mature trees whose root zones dictate where posts can and cannot go. Turramurra's reactive clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that seasonal movement is what pushes undersized footings out of plumb over a few years.

The ground under Turramurra is ridge-top clay falling away sharply to sandstone gullies on the eastern and western edges, and the suburb is built out with a mix of original brick homes and new builds, with a lot of blocks that drop steeply to a rear bushland boundary. Those two facts decide footing depth, material choice and how long the job takes, so we measure on site before we price anything in Ku-ring-gai Council's area.

Local Knowledge: Turramurra 2074

We work across Turramurra and the surrounding Upper North Shore suburbs, and the local conditions genuinely change the job. The Upper North Shore is Sydney's leafiest fencing environment. Large blocks, mature canopy and Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby's tree-protection controls mean post holes frequently land inside a tree protection zone, and heritage conservation areas set the tone for what a front fence is allowed to look like.

For side fencing specifically, the constraints that come up most often in Turramurra are tree protection zones, heritage conservation area controls and sloping sandstone-over-shale blocks. Ku-ring-gai Council is the consent authority for Turramurra, so where approval is needed that is the path we work through with you — and we identify that before quoting rather than halfway through the job.

Side Fencing Turramurra FAQs

How high can a side fence be in Turramurra?

1.8 metres is the standard side boundary height in Turramurra and the figure most exempt development provisions are written around. Going higher is possible but is more likely to need approval from Ku-ring-gai Council, and it is worth discussing with your neighbour first since a side fence is a shared dividing fence under the Act.

Who pays for the side fence in Turramurra?

A side fence between two properties in Turramurra is a dividing fence, so the cost is normally shared equally between adjoining owners under the NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991. Where you want more than a sufficient fence — extra height, a premium material — you generally fund the difference yourself.

Can you install a side fence with no vehicle access?

Yes. Most Turramurra properties have good vehicle access, though long side runs past mature trees still mean a fair amount of hand-carrying. On restricted Turramurra sites we size and stage the material so it can be carried in by hand, and we plan the sequence so the last panels are not trapped behind the ones already built.

What if the side boundary slopes?

Turramurra blocks fall enough that a level fence line is rarely the right answer. We step the panels down the fall in short runs, or rake the panels to follow the ground where the style allows. Where the level change across the boundary is large, a low retaining wall with the fence built above it is usually the better solution.

Can you add a side gate?

Yes, and it is worth sizing it properly at the outset. A 900mm pedestrian gate suits foot traffic, but if the passage allows it and you need to get a mower, bins, a trailer or building materials down the side of a Turramurra property, a wider 1.2m to 1.5m gate saves years of frustration for very little extra cost.

Which parts of Turramurra do you cover for side fencing?

All of Turramurra 2074, plus the surrounding streets in Warrawee, South Turramurra, Pymble, St Ives and Wahroonga. Turramurra is characterised by a mix of original brick homes and new builds, with a lot of blocks that drop steeply to a rear bushland boundary, and we schedule around what that means on the ground rather than booking a standard slot. We give you a firm start date with the quote rather than an open-ended window.
