Bespoke handcrafted wattle hurdle specialists

What we do…

Hazel fence specialist

Wattle hurdles can be made from hazel for both practical and decorative purposes. If you are seeking a natural looking fencing solution in your garden, a handcrafted and traditional wattle hurdle fence can tie-in perfectly with your plants and can even climb woven trellis tops.

Riverbank restorations

We create bespoke hurdles for use in restoring riverbanks and as erosion protection for land or gardens that back onto rivers. The fence-like construction forms a barrier between the riverbank and the water.

Hedgelaying and management

We are experienced in hedge laying and hedge conservation and can also advise on all aspects of hedgerow management. A well laid hedge will give many years service as a solid barrier to fields, as well as providing a beneficial haven for wildlife, something Parsons & Sons feel is of paramount importance.

Neil Parsons

As a 5th generation decendant of master craftsmen, it was only natural that Neil kept the craft alive.

Taught by his father, Neil’s is one of few who can lean on decades of knowledge to create quality, long-lasting woodwork.

With Neil’s connections he only sources 8 year-old hazel from local woodlands. Mature hazel is far superior to the imported competition who often use 3 year-old branches. Not only is mature stronger and longer-lasting, but the environmental impact is significantly less.
