Do retaining walls need drainage?

Usually, yes. Water pressure behind a wall can cause movement, so drainage stone, pipe or weep details are often part of the build.

Can you build garden walls as part of a full landscaping job?

Yes. Walling is often delivered alongside patios, lawns, steps, beds and fencing.

Do you work on sloping gardens?

Yes. Sloped gardens are exactly where walling, terracing and careful ground preparation matter most.

Garden Walling

We build walling where it supports the wider outdoor space: retaining ground, forming terraces, defining beds, edging patios and making sloping gardens more usable.
