Experienced Alstonville Fencing Contractors
Alstonville sits on a plateau between Ballina and Lismore, a well-established hinterland town known for its macadamia farming heritage, the working farm and tourist destination at Summerland Farm, and the kind of leafy residential streets that come with decades of settled community life. Properties here are predominantly detached homes on decent-sized blocks, ranging from older character homes in the town centre to newer residential developments on the plateau’s edges. At around 150 metres above sea level, the conditions in Alstonville are quite different from the coast, with high rainfall, elevated humidity, and clay-based volcanic soils that are all worth accounting for when it comes to fencing.
We’re fencing contractors servicing Ballina who cover Alstonville and the surrounding Northern Rivers region. Whether it’s a replacement boundary fence on an established block, a gate and fence combination at a residential property, or a retaining wall and fence on a sloped section of land, we manage the full job from quote to completion.
Here’s why Alstonville homeowners and property owners choose us:
- Prompt & Friendly Communication โ You’ll hear back quickly and always know where your job stands. No chasing required.
- Affordable Quotes โ Clear, competitive pricing in writing, with no vague estimates or unexpected extras at the end.
- Experienced & Qualified Installers โ Our team are qualified carpenters with hands-on experience across all fence types and the varied site conditions found throughout the Northern Rivers.

Alstonville Fencing Services
Colorbond Fencing Alstonville
Colorbond fence is a practical, low-maintenance option for properties that want a clean boundary fence without the ongoing upkeep. It handles the region’s high rainfall and humidity well, resists warping and rot, and delivers a consistent look that holds up over many years. A strong choice for boundary fencing, side fences, and rear privacy screens across the plateau.
Timber Fencing Alstonville
Timber fencing suits Alstonville’s hinterland character well, particularly on the older streets where natural materials complement the leafy surroundings. We install timber fences across the full range, from hardwood paling boundary fences to modern slatted designs, using quality timbers and treatment grades appropriate for high rainfall conditions.
Aluminium Fencing Alstonville
Aluminium fencing is a low-maintenance option for Alstonville homeowners who want a modern, rust-resistant fence that holds its appearance over time without regular treatment or painting. It works well for front boundaries, pool enclosures, and residential fencing where a clean finish and minimal upkeep are both the goal.
Pool Fencing Alstonville
Properties with pools are subject to the same NSW pool fencing regulations as anywhere else in the state, including compliance with Australian Standards (AS 1926). Our compliant pool fence installation is available in aluminium, glass, and tubular steel, matched to the style of the property and the requirements of the site.
Gates Alstonville
A gate that’s correctly fitted and operates reliably completes the boundary and gives the property practical access control. We supply and install gates across Alstonville for all fence types, including pedestrian side gates, double swing driveway gates, and automated driveway gates where security and convenience both count.
Retaining Walls Alstonville
Alstonville’s terrain means some properties have sloped sections where a fence and retaining wall need to be planned and built together. Getting both done at the same time avoids replacing a fence in a few years due to soil movement. We install retaining walls using timber, concrete, and composite sleepers.

A fencing contractor who stops communicating after quoting is just time and money wasted.
Many Alstonville homeowners have gone through the same experience: a fencing contractor gives a rough price over the phone, you follow up to get things moving, and then hear nothing for weeks. By the time you’ve found a replacement and started the process again, months have passed on a job that should have been done and dusted. For a property with an aging fence that needs replacing, that delay isn’t just frustrating, it leaves the boundary in worse shape the longer the job sits unscheduled.

6 Practical Benefits of a New Fence
Increased Privacy
A well-built fence gives any property a clear boundary and a private outdoor space, particularly valuable on the residential streets closer to the town centre where blocks sit near neighbouring properties. That separation makes the backyard more usable for the whole household.
Better Security
A fence that’s fitted correctly and covers the full boundary of the property makes unauthorised access harder and adds a practical layer of security. For residential properties in Alstonville, a solid fence and a gate that latches correctly covers most of what’s needed.
Safe Space for Children and Pets
A complete boundary fence gives children and pets a safe area to move around in freely without reaching roads or neighbouring land. For families in quieter residential streets, that containment is a day-to-day benefit that a secure yard delivers from the start.
Climate and Soil Durability
Alstonville’s high annual rainfall and the clay-based soils of the plateau can affect how certain fencing materials perform over time. Choosing the right material and treatment grade for the site conditions at the quoting stage avoids the cost of an early replacement down the track.
Improved Street Presentation
A new fence lifts the street presentation of a property, whether it’s a hardwood paling fence on an older character home or a clean Colorbond boundary fence on a newer build. In a town where established homes and well-kept streetscapes are part of the appeal, a tidy fence makes a visible difference.
Long-Term Value
A fence built with the right materials for Alstonville’s conditions, posts set to the correct depth for the soil type, and panels aligned cleanly, will hold up for years without needing significant maintenance. On an established property where the fence is a long-term fixture, that durability is worth getting right from the start.

Alstonville Fencing FAQs
What fencing material is best for Alstonville's conditions?
Alstonville’s high rainfall, humidity, and clay-based volcanic soils mean the material choice and post-setting method both matter. Colorbond is a strong all-round choice for boundary fencing and privacy screens, handling moisture without warping or rotting. Aluminium fences are a good low-maintenance option for front fences and pool enclosures. Timber fencing suits the character of many of Alstonville’s older streets well, but the timber species and treatment grade need to be appropriate for the plateau’s wet conditions.
An on-site visit gives us the information needed to recommend the right option for your specific block.
How much does fence installation cost?
Cost depends on the material, the length and height of the fence, the terrain of the site, and whether old fence removal is included in the scope. On older established blocks, removing existing timber posts that have been in the ground for decades can add time to the job. Without seeing the property, any price is only an estimate.
A free on-site visit gives us the information needed to put a clear, written price together for your job.
Do you cover all of Alstonville and the surrounding area?
Yes, we cover all of Alstonville, including the residential streets in the town centre, the newer developments on the plateau edges, and properties along the Bruxner Highway corridor. We also service Ballina, Lennox Head, Lismore, and the broader Northern Rivers area. If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, call us on (02) 5602 5029 and we can confirm.
How long does fence installation take?
Most standard residential fence jobs take one to two days to complete. Jobs on older blocks with established timber posts to remove, sloped terrain, or a retaining wall component will take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline as part of the written quote so you know what to plan around before work starts.
Can you remove and replace an old timber fence?
Yes, old fence removal is a regular part of the work we do. Many properties in Alstonville have original timber fences that are reaching the end of their lifespan, and replacing them involves removing old posts, filling post holes, and preparing the ground before the new fence goes in. We include removal in the scope and price it clearly in the quote so you know what the full job entails before work begins.
Do I need council approval to install a fence in Alstonville?
Most standard residential fences in NSW are covered under exempt development provisions, meaning no council approval is required if the fence meets the height and setback requirements under the State Environmental Planning Policy. Alstonville falls within Ballina Shire Council’s area, so if your property has any heritage, flood, or bushfire constraints, it’s worth confirming with council before work starts. For most straightforward fence replacements and new boundary fences in Alstonville, approval is not required.
