Balham gardens often need smart structure as well as planting, especially around Bedford Hill and near Balham High Road where plots can be compact. We create garden walls, brick pillars, archways and raised beds that add privacy, definition and usable space. Whether you want a built-in BBQ area for summer hosting or a fire pit for year-round evenings, we design it to fit your layout. Every build is finished with clean detailing, strong foundations and careful drainage.
Our team works across the brickwork & masonry landscaping Balham area, including Balham Hill, Nightingale and Clapham South. Many local homes are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, so we match brick bonds, mortar colour and coping styles to existing architecture. Where gardens sit above or below neighbouring levels, we engineer retaining walls and planters that look refined and stay stable. The result is masonry that feels original to the property rather than added on.
We start with a site visit, measurements and design guidance, then provide a clear written quotation and schedule. Builds are managed end-to-end: groundworks, footings, brick/stonework, pointing, and final clean-down, with minimal disruption. We protect paving and planting, keep access routes tidy, and communicate progress throughout. Homeowners choose us for consistent finishes, dependable timelines and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth, we plan for typical access constraints around SW12 terraces, including narrow side returns and shared alleys. Parking and deliveries near Balham station can be time-sensitive, so we schedule materials to avoid disruption. We also account for varied ground conditions and existing patio build-ups, ensuring stable bases and correct falls for drainage. Our detailing suits period brickwork while meeting modern durability standards.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth and finish level. As a guide, small brick planters or raised beds often start from £900–£2,500. Garden walls commonly range from £180–£320 per m² depending on brick type, foundations and coping. BBQ areas and fire-pit builds typically fall between £2,000–£6,500+. We’ll survey your SW12 garden and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most projects take 2–10 working days. A single planter or small raised bed can be completed in 1–3 days, while a wall with footings, piers and coping may take 4–8 days. Larger schemes combining walls, archways and a BBQ area can run 2–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation, curing time for concrete, access for materials, and whether we’re tying into existing paving or drainage.
Many garden masonry works are permitted development, especially within rear gardens, but there are limits—front boundary walls and changes next to highways can be restricted, and conservation areas may have extra controls. If your property is a mansion conversion or subject to lease conditions, approvals can also apply. We’ll advise during the survey, check relevant London Borough of Wandsworth guidance, and help you plan a compliant design before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork and masonry landscaping, covering workmanship and structural integrity of the build (such as walls, pillars, planters and raised beds) when used as intended. It includes issues like defective pointing, movement due to poor construction, or failures linked to our installation. Natural weathering and accidental damage aren’t covered, but we’re always available to inspect and advise if anything concerns you.
We offer London stock-style bricks, reclaimed brick options, and contemporary smooth-face bricks, plus natural stone coping, porcelain caps and contrasting soldier courses. Popular features include brick pillars with lighting, curved planters, stone feature walls, archways, and built-in BBQ areas with heat-resistant linings. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit Victorian or Edwardian façades, and we can provide samples so you can see the finish in your SW12 light.
