East Dulwich gardens deserve masonry that looks sharp and performs for decades. Whether you’re near Lordship Lane or walking distance from Dulwich Park, we create garden walls, brick pillars, and raised beds that make outdoor space feel structured and inviting. We also build practical features such as planters, BBQ areas, and fire pits for year-round use. Every detail is set out carefully so lines stay true and levels stay right.
Our team regularly works across SE22, including Peckham Rye and Dulwich Village, where Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have narrow side access and mature boundaries. We match brick tones and mortar profiles to period character, or introduce complementary stone for a modern contrast. For conversions with shared gardens, we can define zones with low walls, planters, and neat steps. The aim is always the same: a finish that feels original to the property.
We start with a site visit, measurements, and a straightforward design plan, then confirm foundations, drainage, and build-up before work begins. You’ll get a clear scope, staged schedule, and clean working practices to keep disruption down. Our masons use proven construction methods, quality materials, and accurate setting-out for consistent joints and stable structures. Local homeowners choose us for dependable communication, tidy sites, and results that stay solid through London weather.
In the London Borough of Southwark, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many SE22 gardens sit behind terraces with steps and level changes, so we design retaining walls and raised beds with proper footings and drainage. We also account for tree roots and established boundaries common around Peckham Rye. Where council considerations apply, we help you understand what’s needed before you commit.

Costs vary by access, foundations, and finish, but as a guide: small brick planters or raised beds often start from £600–£1,500. Garden walls are commonly £180–£300 per m² depending on height, piers, and coping. Brick pillars may be £500–£1,200 each. BBQ areas and fire pits typically range from £1,500–£5,000+ depending on materials and built-in features.
Most smaller builds, such as planters or a short wall, take 1–3 days. Medium projects like multiple raised beds, pillars, and steps are often 4–10 working days. Larger schemes with archways, stone features, or BBQ areas can take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on ground preparation, curing time for foundations, access for materials, and whether we’re integrating drainage or lighting.
Many garden masonry projects are permitted development, especially within rear gardens, but rules can change with wall height, proximity to highways, and listed buildings or conservation areas. If your property is a period home or conversion, it’s worth checking restrictions before starting. We’ll flag likely planning triggers, advise on boundary heights, and help you confirm requirements with Southwark Council where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork and masonry landscaping, covering workmanship and structural integrity of the built elements we install. That includes issues such as movement caused by incorrect foundations, poor bonding, or defective pointing. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems linked to pre-existing ground issues outside our control aren’t covered. We also explain maintenance, including repointing expectations, to keep everything looking its best.
You can choose traditional London stock-style brickwork for a period look, smooth contemporary bricks for clean lines, or introduce stone features for contrast. Popular options include brick pillars with coping stones, rendered planters, reclaimed brick walls, and arched openings to frame views. For entertaining, we can build BBQ surrounds, seating plinths, and fire pits with heat-resistant liners. We’ll guide you on colours, joint profiles, and finishes to suit your home.
