If your garden needs more structure, our masonry team can transform it with well-built walls, pillars and raised planting. We regularly work around CR0, including projects near Shirley Windmill and the edge of Addington Hills. Whether you want smart brick planters or a statement stone feature, we match materials and detailing to your home and garden layout. The result is a tidy, premium finish that stands up to British weather.
Shirley’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and newer developments often benefits from defined levels, safer boundaries and practical entertaining zones. We design brickwork and stonework that complements pebbledash, render and traditional London stock brick. For wider plots and family gardens near Trinity School or Shirley Park Golf Club, we can create generous raised beds, BBQ areas and seating walls without losing lawn space. Every build is planned to suit access, storage and how you use the garden day-to-day.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear specification covering foundations, drainage and finishes. You’ll receive a written quote, a realistic programme, and guidance on brick matching, coping stones and joint styles. Our builds are set out accurately, reinforced where needed, and finished cleanly with careful pointing and tidy edges. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable communication, respectful working practices and consistent quality control.
We’re used to working across the London Borough of Croydon, where access can be tight on some residential streets and parking needs planning. Shirley gardens often have changes in level and varied ground conditions, so we size footings and drainage accordingly. We also consider boundary lines, neighbouring fences and visibility from the street when building walls and pillars. This local approach helps keep projects smooth, safe and compliant.

Costs vary with size, access and materials. As a guide in Shirley, small brick planters or raised beds often start from £600–£1,500. Garden walls commonly range from £180–£350 per m² depending on height, footings and coping. Feature work such as brick pillars, archways, BBQ areas or fire pits is typically £1,500–£6,000+. We’ll survey your CR0 garden and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most smaller builds, such as planters or a single raised bed, take 1–3 days. A new garden wall with proper foundations is often 3–7 days, while multiple features (pillars, steps, stone detailing, BBQ area) can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on curing time for concrete, weather, site access, and whether we’re integrating drainage, lighting or paving. We’ll confirm a programme before starting.
Many garden masonry projects are permitted development, but there are key exceptions. Front boundary walls next to a highway have height limits, and listed buildings or conservation considerations can change what’s allowed. If your project affects shared boundaries, we’ll also flag Party Wall considerations where relevant. We can advise on typical Croydon requirements and help you check with the council before work begins, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our brickwork and masonry landscaping. This covers issues such as failure due to incorrect installation, inadequate foundations, or poor pointing—provided the feature hasn’t been altered or damaged by external factors. Materials are installed to manufacturer guidance, and we document the build method for peace of mind. If a problem arises, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
We can build in London stock, red brick, reclaimed brick, or contemporary smooth-faced bricks, with coping options such as stone, brick-on-edge or concrete. Popular choices include stone feature panels, archways, rendered planters, and raised beds with seating edges. For entertaining, we design BBQ areas and fire pits using heat-resistant linings and safe clearances. We’ll bring samples, recommend styles that suit Shirley properties, and finalise details with scaled drawings.
