Best fencing contractors in Stirling & Scarborough (2026)

These are the best-rated fencing contractors working Stirling and Scarborough, from the coastal blocks at Scarborough, Trigg, North Beach and Watermans Bay, through the established suburbs of Doubleview, Innaloo, Karrinyup, Carine, Gwelup and Woodlands, and across the light-industrial belt at Osborne Park, Balcatta, Tuart Hill and Glendalough. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Fencing is a service-area trade run off a ute and a trailer rather than a shopfront, so we checked the map pin on every operator and kept the list to firms genuinely based in and working the City of Stirling, whether you want a new Colorbond boundary fence, a pool barrier that will pass inspection, a driveway or automated gate, fencing over a retaining wall on a sloping coastal block, or an old asbestos fence pulled out and replaced. One of the highest-rated names here, Urban Glass Fencing, is a glass and pool-barrier specialist rather than a boundary fencer, so if it’s a standard Colorbond fence you’re after, look hardest at the general fencing contractors around it. What follows is what fencing actually costs in WA in 2026, the difference between Colorbond, aluminium, timber and glass, the post footings and gauge that decide whether your fence stands straight for twenty years or leans after two, how the dividing-fence cost split with your neighbour works, the warning signs of a dodgy job, and a checklist to run before you pay a deposit.

A note on the order: we weight the star rating by the number of reviews, so a proven record from a deeper base edges out a perfect score from a handful. That’s why Fosters Fencing (4.9 from 301) sits on top and the newer, thinner-reviewed operators sit lower even where they also hold a 5.0. It’s also why Team Work Fencing, despite a big 231-review base, sits at the foot of the list, its 4.6 average pulls the weighted score down. And it’s why a pool-fencing specialist, Urban Glass Fencing, ranks where it does purely on genuine reviews. Match the fencer to the job: a glass and pool-barrier specialist and a Colorbond boundary fencer are not the same trade. This is a focused list of six genuine City-of-Stirling operators, we don’t pad it out with supply houses or out-of-area brands to hit a round number. As always, get two or three quotes on the same scope before you commit.

Also worth a quote in Stirling & Scarborough

For the deepest records on a standard boundary fence, Fosters Fencing (4.9 from 301) and Aussie Fencing (4.8 from 506) are the two safe first calls, between them they carry more proven jobs than anyone else in the cluster. If you want fencing and gates from the one crew, or you’re on the coastal side around North Beach, Fencing & Gate Co. (5.0 from 41) is worth a ring. On a sloping block that needs a retaining wall under the fence, Bedrock Fencing and Retaining (4.9 from 44) does both together. For a glass pool fence or a pool barrier that has to pass inspection, Urban Glass Fencing (4.9 from 42) is the specialist. And Team Work Fencing (4.6 from 231) rounds out the field with a big review base worth reading through. Whoever you call, ask to see a recent finished fence like yours, get the height, material, gauge, post spacing and footing depth spelled out in writing, and line up two or three fixed-price quotes on the same scope so you’re comparing apples with apples.

What fencing actually costs in Perth (2026)

Nobody likes ringing a fencer blind on price. These are honest WA ballpark ranges for the common jobs, GST included. They’re a guide to keep you from being overcharged, not a quote, and fencing prices move with your material, your site and the length of the run, so the spread on each line is wide for a reason. Most home jobs are priced per linear metre once the fencer has seen the site, with the material, height, post footings and any retaining or removal work making the difference. In the City of Stirling the work splits a few ways: replacing old, leaning or asbestos fences on the established blocks through Doubleview, Innaloo, Tuart Hill, Karrinyup and Woodlands, fencing coastal blocks at Scarborough, Trigg and North Beach where salt air and sloping dune sites raise the stakes, and boundary work over retaining on the higher ground around Karrinyup and Carine. Sandy soil is the big variable, posts must be concreted to a proper depth or the fence leans, and near the coast salt air makes material choice and coating matter more.

Stirling and Scarborough carry their own conditions worth pricing in. On the established blocks through Doubleview, Innaloo, Tuart Hill, Balcatta, Karrinyup and Woodlands, a lot of the work is pulling out 1970s to 1990s fences that have leaned, rusted or been storm-damaged, and a fair share of those older boundaries are asbestos-cement “Super Six” sheet fences, which are illegal to just smash and dump and must be removed and disposed of by a licensed operator, so budget for that on top of the new fence. On the coast at Scarborough, Trigg, North Beach and Watermans Bay, salt air eats cheap fixings and thin coatings, so pay for the right gauge and a good powder coat, and the sloping dune blocks often need a retaining wall under the fence, which is a job in its own right. Wherever you are, the single biggest quality factor is concreting the posts to a proper depth: skimp there and the fence leans or lifts in the first big blow no matter how good the panels. And whatever the job, the cheap quote is usually cheap because it’s thin on footings, gauge or removal, the parts you can’t see once it’s up and the parts that decide whether it lasts. Get the height, the panel gauge, the post spacing and the footing depth written into the quote.

Don’t get ripped off: red flags

Before you hire: quick checklist

• ABN and public liability insurance. Confirm the fencer has a current ABN and public liability cover before any work starts. It protects you if something is damaged or someone is injured on the job.
• Written quote with the detail. Get the length in metres, the height, the material and gauge, the post spacing, the footing depth, any gates and the price all in writing before you pay a deposit. Vague quotes are where disputes start.
• Post footings and gauge spelled out. Ask how deep the posts are concreted and what gauge of panel and post you are getting. On WA sand and near the coast this is the difference between a fence that stands straight for decades and one that leans in a year.
• Boundary and neighbour sorted. For a dividing fence, confirm where the boundary runs and, where the cost is shared, that your neighbour has agreed. Under WA’s Dividing Fences Act the cost of a sufficient dividing fence is generally split between the two owners.
• Pool-barrier compliance. If it’s a pool or spa fence, confirm the fencer builds to the Australian Standard and that the barrier, including the gate, will pass a council compliance inspection.
• Asbestos check on the old fence. If you’re replacing an old grey fibro “Super Six” fence, confirm it is being removed and disposed of by a licensed asbestos operator, not just knocked down.
• Right fencer for the job. Match the trade to the work: a Colorbond boundary fencer, a glass pool-barrier specialist and a fencing-and-retaining crew each suit different jobs. Ask to see a recent finished job like yours.
• Recent, specific reviews and references. Look for recent reviews that mention the actual fence or gate, and ask for a local job you can look at. A steady stream beats one old burst of five stars.
