Urban & Residential Fencing Whangarei
Whangārei’s trusted specialists in urban and residential fencing, backed by 30 years in business and a decade dedicated to fencing and gate automation. Serving homeowners and lifestyle block properties across the Whangarei and Kaipara districts.
Northland Fences supplies and installs urban and residential fencing across the Whangarei and Kaipara districts, including lifestyle blocks. With 30 years in business and a decade specialising in fencing and gate automation, Tim Hood brings the same hands on approach to a residential property as he does to a larger commercial job.
What urban fencing covers
This service is focused on residential and lifestyle block properties, rather than rural fencing between paddocks. Whether it’s a boundary fence between neighbouring sections, a full property fence out, or fencing for a lifestyle block, Northland Fences can help. Pool fencing is closely related and often comes up in the same conversation, but it’s treated as its own service given the specific requirements involved.
Northland Fences works with a range of materials to suit the property and the budget, from timber for a warmer, traditional look, to colorsteel and aluminium for a lower maintenance option, through to Stabiwood, which gives much of the timber look without the same upkeep. The right choice comes down to the look you’re after, how much maintenance you’re happy to take on, and the budget for the job, and that’s all talked through at the site visit.

Boundary fencing between neighbours
A good number of urban fencing jobs involve a shared boundary rather than a standalone property fence. Northland Fences can talk you through the practical side of getting a boundary fence sorted with a neighbour, from working out where the fence will sit to agreeing on a style both sides are happy with. Anything to do with legal requirements or cost sharing is between you and your neighbour to work through, but Northland Fences can help make the practical side of the job straightforward.
Trusted on residential and lifestyle block properties
Northland Fences has supplied and installed fencing for new homes in Totara Parklands, along with other residential and lifestyle block properties across the region. From homeowners and property investors to developers and real estate agents preparing a property for sale, we work with all of them.
Fencing and gate automation, together
Many urban and residential properties also need a driveway gate. Northland Fences handles both fencing and gate automation, so if that’s part of your project, see our Gate Automation page for more.
Why choose Northland Fences
For a job on your own property, it makes a real difference dealing with one person from start to finish. Tim handles the site visit, the quote and the installation himself, so what’s discussed on the day is what actually gets built, rather than the job changing hands along the way.
That also means someone’s accountable after the job’s done. If anything needs adjusting once the fence is up, you’re speaking to the person who built it, not starting again with someone new.
What happens on the job
Every job starts with a free site visit, so the property, access and any tricky spots are properly looked at before a quote goes together. Once that’s approved, installation is scheduled in, and if a gate’s part of the job, that gets coordinated at the same time rather than treated as an afterthought.
Frequently asked questions
Do you fence lifestyle blocks?
Yes. Urban and residential fencing covers lifestyle block properties as well as town sections. Rural fencing between paddocks is treated separately.
How long does a residential fencing job take?
It depends on the property, the type of fencing, and whether a gate is involved. Northland Fences will give you a realistic idea of timeframe as part of the free site visit.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes, every quote is free with no obligation.
Can I choose the material for my fence?
Yes. Timber, colorsteel, aluminium and Stabiwood are all options, and which one suits best comes down to the look you want, the maintenance you’re happy to take on, and your budget.
Do you do smaller jobs, like replacing a single fence panel or gate?
Yes. Not every job is a full property fence out. Repairs, replacements and smaller sections are all worth getting a quote for.
