Garden Walls & Brickwork

Garden walls are an important feature that must be constructed correctly to ensure that your garden is safe for its intended use. The garden wall can not only improve the ascetics of your garden, but can also be used to support a feature such as a greenhouse, retain a soil bank or form an edge or division for a patio area or lawn. There are countless other uses for a garden wall and it is essential that your garden wall has been well built to ensure it will last its lifetime.

Although you may want a garden wall, building it yourself can be difficult and time consuming if you are not fully trained. The key to a straight, solid and safe garden wall is in its foundation. Time must be spent getting the foundation correct to create a firm base to work from. We can eliminate the guesswork, the hassle and all the hard work for you.
