Brickwork gives a garden structure. A low wall can edge a patio, hold back a border or mark a boundary, and it lasts far longer than timber. Casey Jones builds garden walls and low brickwork that sit neatly alongside new paving and planting.
The photos below show a red brick wall built as part of a full patio job, laid to line and level so the paving could run neatly up to it.
Walls that work with the rest of the garden
Garden brickwork is often part of a bigger job. Building a wall at the same time as a patio means the levels, edges and drainage can be planned together, and the paving can be laid neatly up to the finished wall.
Choosing bricks
Bricks used outside, especially near the ground or in contact with soil, need to cope with wet and frost. Casey can talk through brick choices that suit your garden and match or complement the house.
Height and planning
In England, a new garden wall generally needs planning permission if it is over one metre high next to a road or footpath, or over two metres high elsewhere. Walls on a shared boundary can also involve your neighbour. For most low garden walls this does not apply, but it is worth knowing before you plan anything taller.
