Brick Walls - Shropshire
Here is a small selection of our more recent projects:
9" Retaining Brick Wall - Dawley, Telford
Following a large scale garden clearance, the footings were laid and work commenced on a 9" retaining brick wall with integrated steps, pillars and a brick arch.
The garden wall actually consisted of three brick walls linked with pillars to form a long continuous garden wall.
The wall was finished off with a solid charcoal brick and the pier caps were finished with charcoal pier caps.

Garden Wall - Foxholes, Near Wem, Shropshire
This project required a long low decorative wall to match in with both the property and the new slabs.
A brick was chosen and the footing installed on Day 1. The 9" wall was then built leaving two 4' entrances. Between the entrances and the straight sections, a perfect semi-circular section of wall was built.
The wall was then finished off with solid blue bricks and blue pier caps. Notice the quality of the pointing between the solid blue header bricks.

Small Brick Wall and Steps - Hadley, Telford
This small 4 inch wall defines the two levels of the garden and adds interest to the garden. On 4 inch walls, coping stones such as these are generally used. The steps were finished in the same slabs as the patio and path.

Sloping Garden Wall - Wellington, Telford
This brick wall demonstrates one way of dealing with sloping ground. The wall can either be tiered or as in this example built in Wellington it can be sloped. Watch out for cowboy builders, there are plenty around. Shropshire Garden Design Ltd only uses experienced bricklayers and the quality of our work speaks for itself.

Garden Walling - Shrewsbury
This project involved firstly completely clearing the garden of everything, i.e. slabs, turf, concrete and garden shed.
We then laid and compacted a bed of hardcore. Footings were then laid for the walls which were then built to become raised borders.
Finally, setts were laid between the raised borders to finish off the project.
The photos below represent the 'Before' and 'After' shots.

Multi Coloured Brick Walling - Newport
The brickwork of this property had very distinctive brickwork made up of five different types of brick. We found out exactly what bricks had been used for the house, sourced the bricks, and built their new garden wall to match perfectly with the house.

Strong 9" Retaining Wall - Madeley, Telford
A full 9 inch wall was used here to retain the soil behind the new patio. Header bricks were used to finish off the top of the wall.
Note this wall was built in the middle of Winter. As long as the correct precautions against blistering are taken, there is no reason why brickwork cannot be done throughout the year.

Brick Retaining Wall and Steps - Cleobury Mortimer
This 12 metre long wall curves into the central flight of steps. A 9 inch wall (double brick thickness) such as this one is necessary if the wall is being used to retain material behind it.
Red engineering bricks were used for the main structure with 4 inch breeze blocks behind the facing brick (for added strength), and charcoal bricks were used as header bricks to match in with the brickwork of the house.

4" Decorative Brick Wall - Hadley, Telford
This garden had a gentle slope but the customer wanted a flat decking area. Therefore we tiered the garden into two levels and built a small retaining wall. As well as using coping we also built small pillars and finished them with pier caps.
