Fencing Contractors in Mackay
A fence is one of the most visible structures on any property. It defines your boundary, gives you privacy, keeps pets and children secure and frames the way your home looks from the street. Landforge builds fences across Mackay with the same priorities on every job: straight lines, solid footings and a finish you are proud to look at.
Whether you need a standard boundary fence shared with a neighbour, a feature screen at the front of the house or a complete fence replacement after years of weather, we will talk through the options, measure the site properly and give you a clear written quotation.
Fence installation for homes, rentals and commercial sites
We install new fencing on established homes, new builds, investment properties and light commercial sites. Typical work includes side and rear boundary fences, front feature fences, pool-area fencing components, pedestrian and driveway gates and screening around bins, air-conditioning units and service areas.
Choosing the right fence type
Timber offers warmth and design flexibility, while Colorbond steel is a low-maintenance option popular for boundaries. The right choice depends on your budget, the look you want, how much upkeep you are prepared to do and site conditions such as slope, soil and exposure to coastal air. We explain the trade-offs honestly so you can make an informed decision.
Gates, slopes and tricky sites
Not every boundary is flat and clear. We work with stepped and raked fence lines on sloping blocks, fences sitting on top of or alongside retaining walls, and gates that need to swing or slide smoothly for years. Where a fence relates to a retaining structure, we will discuss whether engineering or approvals are required before work proceeds.

Practical considerations
- Dividing (boundary) fences in Queensland are generally a shared responsibility with your neighbour — it is worth discussing the project with them before work starts.
- Locate underground services before digging post holes; we arrange dial-before-you-dig information as part of planning.
- Pool fencing has specific safety requirements — compliance must be confirmed by an appropriately licensed pool safety inspector.
- Front fences above certain heights or near intersections may have council requirements — check with Mackay Regional Council for your property.
Local to Mackay
Mackay's wet season, high humidity and coastal winds are hard on fences. Footing depth, post selection, fixings and drainage around posts all make a difference to how long a fence lasts here, from beachside suburbs like Bucasia and Shoal Point to inland properties around Walkerston and Mirani.

Common questions
Do you remove the old fence?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an existing fence can be included in your quotation so the site is left clean.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos and rough measurements help us give you an initial idea, but we prefer to inspect the site before providing a firm quotation, especially on sloping or complex boundaries.
Who pays for a boundary fence?
Under Queensland's dividing fence rules, adjoining owners usually share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence. The Queensland Government website has guidance and the relevant forms.
