Herne Hill gardens often deserve structure as much as planting, especially around Brockwell Park-facing terraces and busy family plots near Herne Hill station. We create garden walls, brick pillars, archways and stone features that add privacy, level changes and a strong sense of design. Whether you want smart front boundary brickwork or a new raised patio edge, our builds are made to look right from day one. Every detail is set out carefully so lines stay true and finishes stay clean.
SE24 is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, and each brings its own quirks—narrow side returns, shared boundaries and stepped gardens. We match brick bonds, mortar colour and coping styles so new work sits comfortably with original features. For larger plots towards Dulwich, Tulse Hill or Denmark Hill, we can introduce substantial stone planters and retaining walls to shape the whole garden. The result is masonry that complements the property rather than competing with it.
We start with a site visit and clear measurements, then provide a written scope covering foundations, drainage and finishes. Our team protects paving, lawns and access routes, keeping the site tidy and safe throughout. You’ll get workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty, plus practical advice on aftercare and sealing where needed. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, precise setting-out and consistent quality control.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark means planning for tight access, resident parking controls and shared boundaries common in Herne Hill streets. Ground conditions vary, so we specify the right footing depths and reinforcement where retaining is needed. We also design around existing drains and mature planting to avoid future movement. Materials and detailing are chosen to suit SE24 brickwork and conservation-sensitive streetscapes.

Costs vary by access, groundworks and the type of feature. As a guide, small brick planters or raised beds often start from £800–£1,800, while garden walls typically range £200–£350 per m² depending on foundations and coping. BBQ areas, fire pits or combined seating walls are commonly £2,500–£7,500+. We’ll confirm a detailed estimate after a site visit in SE24.
Most single features—such as a planter, small wall or brick pillars—take 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger builds like retaining walls, archways, or a full BBQ area with paving and services can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on curing time, weather, access through narrow side passages and any groundwork surprises. We provide a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden masonry projects are permitted development, particularly in rear gardens, but there are exceptions. Front boundary walls, changes near highways, listed buildings and conservation areas may require consent, and height limits can apply. If your property is a period conversion or you’re close to shared boundaries, we’ll flag any risks early. We can help you check Lambeth or Southwark guidance before work begins.
We include a 10-year workmanship warranty on our brickwork and masonry landscaping, covering defects caused by installation issues such as poor bonding, unstable foundations or failed pointing. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, or movement caused by external factors like tree roots or existing drainage failures. We also use quality materials suited to outdoor exposure. You’ll receive clear aftercare guidance to keep finishes looking sharp.
Popular choices include London stock brick to suit Victorian terraces, contrasting engineering brick for steps and edges, and natural stone copings for a premium finish. For features, we build archways, brick pillars, rendered planters, stone-faced raised beds, and heat-resistant surrounds for BBQ areas and fire pits. We’ll help you choose bonds, coping profiles and mortar tones that match your home. We can also integrate lighting and discreet drainage details.
