Lee and his team worked incredibly hard and communicated well to let us know when they would be doing the work. They were always professional and courteous and often worked on weekends to speed up the work. We are really pleased with the quality of the finish and would thoroughly recommend the company.

What can a garden wall building specialist help with?
An experienced bricklayer does far more than stack bricks. They handle the engineering required to ensure your boundary wall can withstand ground pressure and severe weather, following a precise installation blueprint:
- Site survey and planning: Sketching detailed wall designs that account for existing garden features and mapping out hidden utility pipes or electrical cables before digging.
- Deep foundation pouring: Digging structural trenches (typically 300mm deep) and tamping down level concrete bases to create a perfectly flat, solid foundation that prevents the wall from sinking.
- Structural block and bricklaying: Mixing specialised plasticised mortar and laying bricks in a classic overlapping pattern, using half-bricks on alternate courses to distribute weight structurally.
- Professional mortar pointing: Using a trowel to neatly smooth and point the setting mortar a few millimetres back from the brick face, providing a clean, weather-resistant finish.
How much does garden wall building cost?
Most bricklayers quote wall construction per square metre (sqm), meaning the total price is driven by the height, length, and width of the structure. Labour rates generally sit within these standard benchmarks, excluding material costs:
- Single-skin brick wall: Best suited for shallow decorative borders or low perimeters, labour costs typically range from £200 to £300 per sqm.
- Double-skin brick wall: Highly recommended for structural boundaries and privacy walls for added solidity, labour costs range from £250 to £400 per sqm.
- Material variables: Standard clay bricks are the most cost-effective option and come in various finishes. Choosing rustic reclaimed bricks or premium machine-cut (fully dressed) natural stone will significantly increase your overall material budget.

Choosing your material: Clay bricks vs. natural stone
The style and purpose of your garden wall will dictate the best materials and building techniques for the job:
- Standard clay bricks: Highly versatile, cost-effective, and available in countless colours to match your house. Reclaimed bricks offer an authentic, rustic charm but often cost more than brand-new alternatives.
- Natural stone: Provides a premium, high-end aesthetic. Options range from rugged undressed stone straight from the quarry to perfectly square, machine-cut dressed blocks.
- Dry vs. semi-dry stone walls: Authentic dry stone walls are built like a jigsaw puzzle without any mortar, making them expensive and highly specialised. A cost-effective alternative is a semi-dry stone wall, which looks traditional but uses hidden mortar joints for rapid structural reinforcement.
- Planning permission regulations: You will need formal planning permission if your wall stands over 1 metre tall next to a public road or footpath, or if it exceeds 2 metres in height anywhere else. Check the Planning Portal for properties in conservation areas.

Other garden wall FAQ's
What qualifications should a garden wall builder have?
There are no mandatory regulatory accreditations required to build a garden wall. However, look for bricklayers who have completed an apprenticeship, NVQ, or vocational diploma in bricklaying. Always ask for independent customer references and photos of similar completed walls.
Why do bricklayers recommend a double-skin wall over a single-skin wall?
A single-skin wall is only one brick wide, making it highly vulnerable to being pushed over by high winds or soil weight. A double-skin wall is two bricks wide, bound together internally, providing the heavy structural stability required for tall peritories or retaining walls.
What are the top questions to ask a bricklayer before hiring?
Before signing a contract, protect your property by asking: Are you quoting a fixed price by the square metre or a daily rate? Can you source and supply the bricks, or do I need to order them? Do you hold valid Public Liability Insurance to protect my home against accidental damage?
