At Lakeside Landscapes, most projects start the same way — with questions.
How much fencing do I need?
What might my garden actually look like finished?
Which materials are right for my space and budget?
For 2026, we’ve introduced a set of new website tools designed to answer those questions earlier, more clearly, and without pressure. These tools are here to help you plan, explore options, and make more informed decisions before committing to any work.
Here’s a look at what’s new.
Fencing Calculator – Clearer Planning, Less Guesswork
Measuring fencing requirements can be confusing, especially when posts, rails, gravel boards, heights, and spacing all come into play.
Our Fencing Calculator helps you estimate the materials needed based on your fence length and height. It’s designed to give you a sensible starting point, whether you’re planning a DIY project or preparing for a professional installation.
The calculator helps you:
- Understand roughly how much material is required
- Avoid over-ordering or under-ordering
- Plan budgets more accurately
It doesn’t replace a site visit or final measurements, but it does make the early planning stage far clearer.
Lakeside Garden Visualiser – See Ideas Before Work Begins
Imagining a finished garden from scratch isn’t always easy. That’s where our Garden Visualiser comes in.
By uploading a photo of your existing garden, the visualiser creates realistic design concepts based on your space. It allows you to explore different layouts, styles, and finishes without committing to anything.
The visualiser is ideal for:
- Exploring design ideas
- Comparing different looks and layouts
- Starting a conversation with clearer visuals
It’s not intended as a final design tool — it’s an inspiration and planning aid that helps remove uncertainty at the early stages of a project.
AI Chat Assistant – Faster Answers, When You Need Them
Our new AI Chat Assistant is available directly on the website to help with quick questions and product guidance.
It can assist with:
- Finding the right products
- Answering common fencing and garden questions
- Pointing you towards useful information faster
The chat assistant is there to support browsing and planning, especially outside normal working hours. And when you need personal advice, you can still contact us directly — nothing replaces real experience on the ground.
Built to Make Planning Easier
All three tools share the same purpose:
to make garden planning simpler, clearer, and more accessible.
Whether you’re pricing fencing, exploring garden ideas, or just looking for guidance, these tools are designed to help you feel more confident before taking the next step.
You can try all of them now on the Lakeside Landscapes website.
