What do wood fencing services include?

Wood fencing services include all the activities necessary to install a timber fence on your property. Your hired wood fencing builder can ensure that it is functional, aesthetically pleasing and complies with rules and regulations on fencing. This service can include taking the necessary measurements, procuring materials to put up the fence, assembling the fence and applying finishing touches. 

Taking measurements

Your wood fence installation begins by discussing the size and location of your wood fence with your hired Tasker. After you specify your needs and where you want the wood fence, your hired wood fence builder takes all the necessary measurements. They can place your wood fence anywhere on your property, as long as its placement complies with rules set by your state and your local council.   

Procuring materials for wood fencing

Upon request, some Taskers can get all the needed materials for constructing and installing your timber fence, from the type of wood fence panels you need to the sealants needed for the job. They can put up a fence in the style you want and get all the posts, timber frame and timber panels. 

Your hired Tasker can also cut any parts of the timber fence down to size if necessary. If your hired builder has to cut timber on-site, you may want to hire a separate service to clean up.  

Installing the posts and assembling the panels

Your hired builder can dig holes in your backyard to install the posts for the wood fence. They can ensure that the holes are deep enough and are uniform in depth before burying the posts. Before burying the posts, your Tasker can ensure that the posts are level and of equal length. Once they're placed in the holes, they apply a partial filling of concrete to each hole

Assembling and attaching the panel sections

Your Tasker can assemble sections of wood panels as the concrete dries. They can ensure that each panel is cut uniformly and at the right length, then assemble the panels into sections. Once the concrete is dry, your Tasker attaches fasteners on the top and bottom of each post. They then attach each panel section to the posts. 

Finishing touches

Your Tasker can install fascia boards on the outer sections of the wood fence and caps on each post. Upon request, some Taskers can apply a protective sealant to prevent moisture damage and repel pests. 

You can also hire a separate service to paint your newly installed fence in a colour that matches your home. While you’re upgrading your backyard, why not get someone to beautify what’s behind your wood fence as well?

Cut and Stack Old Hardwood Fence into Firewood

$5

Caulfield South VIC 3162, Australia

28th Sep 2025

We have around 19 linear metres of old hardwood fencing that has just been taken down in panels (see photos). What needs to be done: • Take apart the panels • Remove nails • Cut into firewood (maximum 30 cm lengths, suitable for a fireplace) • Neatly stack the firewood at the side of our house It would be great if you have a drop saw available for the job. We’re flexible on timing – no urgent deadline.

Daniel cut up a big pile of old fencing into firewood. He did a great job, worked efficiently, and just got on with the task. Would happily recommend.

Repair wooden fencing

$500

Caulfield VIC, Australia

30th Aug 2025

On a fence line which borders our property and a neighbors, 2, potentially 3 posts and attached railings need to be re-secured as in strong winds they move (I have video but can't upload). The posts appear to still be good no visible rot / degradation (entire fence is ~7 years old). Preference is to have posts re-secured, and not really interested in other methods (have seen cemented metal poles then drill / secure it to post) to maintain aesthetics. I will need to speak to neighbor and split costs before any formal acceptance of quotes. The price I have listed is a guide and unsure if it reasonable given effort required - but please quote and describe your approach to fixing accordingly.

Punctual, and clearly knows his stuff and went above and beyond in helping secure our fence. Thanks Muhammad!

Wooden side panels placed unground, see pictures attached.

Patterson Lakes VIC, Australia

24th Aug 2025

We recently had a new fence erected and the two decorative wooden side panels, either side to a feature wall were removed. See photos attached. The panels need to be put back into the ground. I think a fencing drill would be required to dig the holes.

Daniel is a 'Gun'. His attention to detail is first class and his work ethic is fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Daniel for any work that he submits for - You won't be disappointed.
