Garden Brickwork in Basingstoke, Andover, Newbury and the surrounding areas

Carefully considered brick features to complement your outdoor space.

About our brickwork work

Brickwork is the detail that makes a garden feel finished. Raised planters, gate piers, brick steps, edging courses and the small features that tie paving and planting together all come down to careful setting out and tidy joints.

We carry out garden brickwork across Basingstoke, Andover, Newbury and the surrounding areas, working to match or complement the brick on your house so new features look settled rather than new.

Worth thinking about

Matching the house
Brick colour, texture and mortar shade all affect how well a feature blends in. Bringing a sample along helps.
Where the detail shows
Soldier courses, piers and step nosings are seen up close every day, so setting out matters more than the material cost.
Function as well as looks
A raised planter needs drainage; steps need comfortable rise and going. Both are easy to get wrong.
Working with paving
Brick edging and paving need planning together so courses and joints line through properly.

Materials and finishes

We are happy to talk through brick types, bonds and mortar finishes and how each will weather. Where an existing brick is no longer made, we will suggest the closest honest alternative rather than promise an exact match.

Common questions

Can you match the bricks on my house?: Often closely, though older bricks are sometimes no longer produced. We will show you the nearest options and be upfront about the difference.
What kinds of brick features do you build?: Raised beds and planters, piers, brick steps, edging courses, low feature walls and brick detailing alongside paving.
How is this different to your walls service?: Brickwork focuses on brick features and detailing within the garden; walls covers boundaries, dividing walls and low retaining walls.
Will new brickwork look obviously new?: At first, a little. Mortar colour choice makes a real difference and new work mellows over the first few seasons.
