Soil and drainage
Red basalt soil digs easily; heavy clay in low-lying and eastern areas needs deeper or wider footings and sometimes drainage behind the fence.
Slope and steps
Toowoomba has plenty of sloping blocks, and stepped or raked fencing takes longer to build than flat runs.
Rural and acreage lengths
Long runs of post-and-wire or post-and-rail on acreage are priced per metre at a much lower rate than suburban paling fencing.
