Fine Landscaping provides high-quality brickwork for homeowners across Shirley, from boundary garden walls to smart front steps. We regularly work near Shirley Windmill and around Shirley Park Golf Club, where brick detailing needs to match established streetscapes. Whether you want brick pillars for a new gate line or a raised planter to frame a patio, we deliver neat joints and strong foundations. Every build is set out carefully so it looks right from day one.
Shirley has a mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and newer developments, each with different brick tones and proportions. We help you choose bricks and mortar that complement existing facades, coping stones and paving. For sloping plots near Addington Hills, we design retaining walls that manage levels safely and attractively. If your older wall is sound but tired, our repointing restores strength and improves kerb appeal without a full rebuild.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear written scope, then we confirm levels, drainage and access before work begins. We protect lawns and paving, keep the site tidy, and communicate progress so there are no surprises. All brickwork is built to current good practice with proper footings, weep holes where required and consistent mortar colour. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, craftsmanship and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
As brickwork contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to narrow side access, shared driveways and on-street parking restrictions common around CR0. Many gardens have gentle slopes and clay-heavy ground, so we specify suitable footings, drainage and reinforcement where needed. We also factor in neighbouring boundaries, party walls and existing services before digging. The result is brickwork that suits Shirley’s suburban character and performs year-round.

Most small brickwork jobs take 1–3 days, such as a planter, a short wall or minor repointing. Larger projects like retaining walls, multiple pillars and steps typically take 1–2 weeks, especially if there’s excavation, drainage or curing time for foundations. Timescales depend on access, weather, brick availability and whether we’re working around existing paving or services. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden brickwork projects are permitted development, such as low garden walls, planters, steps and BBQ areas. However, rules can change depending on wall height near highways, listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering a boundary that affects visibility. For retaining walls, drainage and safety considerations may also apply. We flag likely permissions early and can help you check Croydon Council guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our brickwork, covering issues caused by installation, such as defective pointing, poor bonding or movement linked to improper construction. It’s based on the structure being used normally and not being altered by others after completion. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also give care guidance for cleaning and sealing so your brickwork stays looking sharp.
We can build with facing bricks to match 1930s homes, contemporary smooth bricks for modern developments, or reclaimed-style bricks for character. Popular finishes include bucket-handle or weather-struck pointing, contrasting soldier courses, and stone or brick-on-edge copings. For features, we build brick pillars, curved planters, steps with safe risers, and BBQ or fire pit surrounds with heat-appropriate detailing. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your house and budget.
