New-build plots in Tadpole Garden Village

Tadpole Garden Village is the newer housing north of Abbey Meads, in SN25. It is booked with north Swindon, not as a separate trip.

The fences that came with the houses are often light panels on timber posts. If the posts are soft, a new run is the honest price. One failed bay on firm posts is a repair.

Lawns on builder’s rubble sink. Turf and a patio need that spoil dug out and a compacted base before anything is laid.

Photograph the base of the post, not only the panel. That decides a repair or a new fence.

Before and after

These are photographs already on the site. They show the standard of the work. The town is not printed on the photo, so this is not a claim that the job was in Tadpole Garden Village.

  • Before & After: Blown-down fence replaced

    The panels that had blown down were cleared and a new closeboard fence was put up behind the seating area.
