If your garden needs definition, privacy or a smarter layout, our masonry team can transform it with crisp, durable features. We build garden walls, brick pillars, planters and raised beds that suit Purley’s generous plots and family gardens. Many of our projects are around Purley Cross and along routes leading to Purley Way, where homeowners want clean lines and premium finishes. Every build is designed to complement your planting and patio areas, not compete with them.
Purley is known for large detached houses, 1930s properties and characterful period homes, and each style benefits from the right brick and detailing. We regularly match existing brickwork, coping stones and pointing so new walls and steps look like they’ve always belonged. For homes near Purley Oaks or the CR8 postcode area, we often create raised beds and retaining walls to make sloping gardens more usable. Stone features and archways can also add a strong focal point without losing that leafy, residential feel.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you want to use the garden. You’ll receive a clear written proposal covering materials, foundations, build method and timescales, with tidy working practices agreed upfront. Our brickwork is set out accurately, built on proper footings and finished with weather-resistant detailing to reduce cracking and movement. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we communicate clearly, turn up when we say we will, and deliver consistent workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, Purley gardens often combine slopes near Riddlesdown with tighter side access on 1930s plots. We plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption on residential roads. Ground conditions and drainage are assessed before we pour footings, especially where retaining walls or raised beds are involved. We also design heights and boundaries with neighbours and street-facing visibility in mind.

Costs vary by size, access and whether foundations or retaining work are needed. As a guide, small brick planters and raised beds often start from £600–£1,500, while garden walls typically range from £180–£350 per m² depending on brick choice, copings and height. Feature builds like BBQ areas, fire pits or stone detailing commonly fall between £2,000–£8,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most smaller builds, such as planters, brick pillars or a compact fire pit area, take 1–3 days once materials are on site. A new garden wall, multiple raised beds or an archway feature usually takes 4–10 working days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for footings, access for barrowing materials, and weather. We’ll confirm a realistic programme and keep you updated if conditions change.
Many garden walls, planters, BBQ areas and similar landscaping works are permitted development, but there are important limits—especially for walls next to highways, front boundaries, and properties in conservation areas. If your project affects drainage, visibility, or involves significant retaining structures, extra checks may be needed. We’ll advise on typical rules in the London Borough of Croydon and can help you confirm requirements before work starts.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on our brickwork and masonry workmanship, covering issues such as structural failure due to installation defects, poor bonding, or incorrect construction methods. It also includes failures in mortar joints caused by workmanship (not normal weathering). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, ground movement beyond reasonable expectations, or alterations by others. We document the build method and materials so you have clear records.
We can build in facing brick, reclaimed brick, engineering brick for strength, and a wide range of natural stone for copings and features. Popular options include brick piers with stone caps, curved garden walls, rendered planters, sandstone or granite steps, and built-in BBQ areas with heat-resistant linings. We’ll help you choose colours and textures that suit your property, then set out the design on site so proportions and levels feel right.
