If your garden needs structure, privacy or a smarter finish, our brickwork team can help. We build garden walls, retaining walls, steps and planters designed to suit Croydon homes and plots. Many of our projects are within easy reach of East Croydon station and the Whitgift Centre, making site visits and follow-ups straightforward. Expect clean lines, safe foundations and brickwork that complements your property.
Croydon has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments, often side-by-side on the same street. We match brick types, mortar colour and detailing so new work blends with existing façades and boundary lines. In South Croydon, Addiscombe and Shirley, we regularly rebuild tired boundary walls and add brick pillars for new gates. For newer homes, we create contemporary planters, seating edges and BBQ areas with sharp, minimal joints.
We start with a site survey, levels check and a clear specification, then confirm materials, access and waste removal before work begins. Every build is set out carefully, with proper footings, drainage considerations and tidy protection to paths and lawns. You’ll get regular updates, a clean handover and practical aftercare advice. Local homeowners choose us because we’re nearby (around 10 minutes away), dependable, and we stand behind our workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, ground levels can vary sharply, so we plan footings and retaining details carefully. Access and parking can be tight around CR0 and CR2, so we schedule deliveries and keep materials stored safely on site. We’re used to working around shared boundaries on Victorian terraces and narrower side returns on 1930s semis. Where needed, we help you keep work aligned with council expectations and neighbour considerations.

Costs vary with access, foundations and finishes. As a guide in Croydon, repointing is often £40–£80 per m², while small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500 depending on height and footing depth. Retaining walls, steps and brick pillars typically range from £1,500–£6,000+. Bespoke features like planters, BBQ areas and fire pits are usually £800–£3,500+ based on size and materials.
Most small brickwork jobs take 1–3 days, such as a planter, a short wall repair or a small set of steps. Medium projects like new boundary walls or multiple pillars often take 3–7 days. Larger retaining walls, BBQ areas with surrounding paving, or extensive repointing can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time, weather, access, and whether we’re matching reclaimed bricks.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. For example, walls next to a highway have height limits, and listed buildings or conservation areas can require consent for changes to boundaries and materials. Retaining walls may also need extra checks if they affect drainage or neighbouring land. We’ll talk through your plans, review constraints, and advise if you should contact the London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork workmanship. It covers issues caused by installation, such as defective mortar joints, movement due to incorrect construction, or failures linked to poor setting-out and fixing. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, impact, misuse, or problems caused by pre-existing structural movement outside the work area. We’ll explain what’s included for your specific project and provide care guidance to keep everything looking its best.
We can build in London stock, red multi, buff and brindle bricks, plus reclaimed options for period properties. Mortar can be colour-matched and specified for strength and breathability, including lime-rich mixes where appropriate. Design choices include soldier courses, coping stones, recessed planters, brick-on-edge details, and integrated lighting points for pillars. We’ll bring samples, discuss maintenance and budget, then recommend a finish that suits your home and garden layout.
