Brick Garden Wall in Sittingbourne, Kent.

When planning a garden wall, we can help you advise on the following as part of our project with you.

Different walls need different construction methods.

Boundary/privacy wall — mainly aesthetic and security-focused.
Retaining wall — holds back soil and requires structural strength and drainage.
Decorative wall — lower height, lighter foundation requirements.
Raised bed wall — must resist moisture and soil pressure.

Retaining walls are significantly more complex than standard garden walls.

2. Check Ground and Foundations

A wall is only as good as its footing.

Key points:

Soil type (clay, sandy, chalk, made ground)
Frost depth
Nearby trees and roots
Slopes or unstable ground

Typical UK garden wall foundations:

Around 300 mm deep minimum for low walls
Wider and deeper for taller walls or soft ground

Clay soils in parts of London often require deeper foundations because of shrink/swell movement.
