Hard Landscaping
Garden & Boundary Walls
A brick wall is only as good as what sits under it. We dig a trench down to firm ground, pour a concrete strip footing and build up from there, with a damp proof course near the base and a coping or brick-on-edge top to shed rain. Outside walls are built in frost-resistant brick with a suitable mortar mix, because a wall that soaks up water will flake and crumble after a few hard winters.
Longer runs need piers or movement joints so the wall can cope with expansion and ground movement without cracking. Brick piers that carry a gate are built around a reinforced core, so the gate hangs true and the pier stays upright.

Brickwork
Retaining Walls, Steps & Raised Beds
Brick retaining walls and steps are a regular part of our garden work. A wall that holds back soil needs a heavier footing, free-draining backfill and weep holes, so water pressure cannot build up and push it out of line.
Brick steps are built with even riser heights and a slight fall on each tread, so they are comfortable to climb and do not hold puddles. Raised beds follow the same rules on a smaller scale, with the inside face lined to stop wet soil staining the brickwork.

Your Brickwork Step by Step
Survey & Brick Choice
We measure up, check the ground and help you pick a brick and mortar colour that suits the house and garden.
Footings
The trench is dug to firm ground and filled with concrete, deeper and wider where the wall is tall or holding back soil.
Building the Wall
Brickwork goes up course by course to line and level, with piers, movement joints and weep holes built in as it rises.
Topping & Clean-Up
Copings go on, joints are finished to match, and spoil and offcuts are taken away.
