Professional Garden Walls & Brickwork
Across Canterbury
Trusted paving and landscaping specialists with over 10 years' experience.

You’ll usually spot it when the mortar starts crumbling or falling out from between the bricks. If you can scrape it away easily or see deep gaps, it’s time to take action. In Kent, our damp winters can get into those cracks, freeze, and then cause the bricks to split. Catching it early with professional repointing saves you the cost of a full rebuild later.

Yes, because these walls do much more than just look good—they hold back tonnes of soil. If a retaining wall isn't built with proper drainage and a solid foundation, the pressure from a wet garden can make it lean or even collapse. We build these to handle the weight properly, using professional masonry techniques so your garden stays level and safe.

We make every effort to find a close match. Canterbury has plenty of period properties with specific local bricks. Whether your home features traditional red multi-bricks or something more weathered, we source materials that blend in. This makes your new garden feature look like it has always been there rather than a modern addition that doesn't fit.

It depends on the look you want. A solid brick wall offers the most privacy and sound insulation, which is great if you live near a busy road or have close neighbours. For a softer feel, we can build decorative brickwork with hit-and-miss patterns that let light through while still keeping your space private. It’s a sturdy alternative to timber fencing that won't blow down during a storm.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer because it depends on how high the wall is and the type of soil in your garden. We typically dig down until we hit solid ground to stop the wall from sinking or cracking over time. For a standard garden wall, we put in a concrete footing that is wider than the wall itself to give it a rock-solid base.

While a fence is often cheaper to put up, a brick wall is a permanent solution. Brickwork doesn't rot, it doesn't need painting every couple of years, and it can withstand the worst of the British weather. If you want something that adds long-term value to your property and stays maintenance-free, professional bricklaying is the way to go.

We handle everything from simple raised flower beds and garden steps to more complex entrance pillars and curved walls. Using different bond patterns or adding a contrasting brick header can turn a plain wall into a real garden feature. We work with you to design something that complements your patio or driveway perfectly.
