In the evolving landscape of Sydney’s construction and landscaping industry, Brushwood Fencing Australia consistently stands out for its innovative approach to fencing. With over two decades of experience, they have redefined what it means to offer not just a product, but a comprehensive, innovative solution to fencing. This blog explores the work behind Brushwood Fencing’s award-winning projects, and illustrates how they’ve pushed the boundaries of design, sustainability, and customer service.
The Genesis of Innovation
Founded on the Northern Beaches of Sydney by a visionary couple, Michael and Narelle, Brushwood Fencing Australia began with a clear mission. Narelle’s background in landscape design and Michael’s fencing expertise provided the ideal foundation for a business committed to blending aesthetic appeal with functional design, and a firm resolve to apply principles of sustainability and continuous innovation.
The African Savanna Project: A Case Study in Excellence
Emblematic of Brushwood Fencing Australia’s projects is the fencing for the African Savanna enclosure at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo. This endeavor was not just about constructing barriers; it was about creating an immersive environment that respects both the animals’ habitat and the visitors’ experience. The project demanded innovative solutions that could withstand the unique challenges of such an ambitious undertaking, from selecting materials that blend with the natural surroundings to designing fences that ensure safety without compromising the view.
The project required close collaboration with architects, builders, and suppliers to ensure that every meter of fencing captured the essence of Africa. It was this dedication to excellence and innovation that led Brushwood Fencing Australia to win the National Australian Fencing Awards Commercial & Industrial division in 2020. The African-inspired fencing, a first of its kind in Australia, set a new benchmark for what is possible in the realm of thematic fencing solutions.
Innovative Fencing Solutions
Innovation often comes from the ability to adapt and respond to the needs of the moment, which is why Brushwood are committed to providing clients with niche products. As an example they have expanded into custom-made laser-cut screens to replace the traditional timber lattice structures and are one of the few brushwood fencing companies in NSW that provides pool-compliant brushwood fencing.
Innovation is not just about creating new products though. It is also about solving problems in novel ways, and Michael’s role in navigating boundary fencing disputes is an example of that. His diplomatic skills, likened to that of a seasoned politician, have not only resolved disputes but also fostered community harmony, underscoring the company’s commitment to adding value beyond the physical boundaries of their projects.
Embracing Sustainability and Community
Brushwood Fencing Australia’s commitment to sustainability is evident in their choice of eco-friendly materials and engaging with local suppliers which not only reduces the environmental footprint of sourcing and transport but also supports the local economy. Beyond business operations their involvement in community projects and supporting local charities is about giving back to the community that has supported their growth.
The Future of Fencing
Looking forward, Brushwood Fencing Australia remains committed to innovation, with plans to expand their product range shortly and explore new technologies. Their focus on customer satisfaction, community and sustainability guides the path forward and as Michael says “Our quality is cultivated from experience”.
