Step-by-Step Garden Wall Construction

At Craig Todd Brickwork & Developments, we recently completed an exciting project in South Shields that showcased our expertise in bricklaying and landscaping. This blog post takes you through our journey of transforming a client's property, from demolition to the final touches.

Day 1: Demolition and Preparation

Our project began with the careful demolition of existing walls. We arranged for a grab truck to collect the debris, ensuring a clean and efficient start to our work. Despite challenging weather conditions, including strong winds, we pressed on with determination.

Day 2: Laying the Foundation

The next day, we faced some unexpected challenges. The existing foundation was uneven, requiring us to make adjustments using a laser level. We started with a big bed, ranging from a standard height to a 30mm cut on the far side. Despite the setbacks, we remained focused on our goal of completing the project efficiently.

Day 3-4: Building the Walls

Over the next couple of days, we made significant progress on the walls. We used high-quality Bradfield multi bricks sourced from South Tyne Building Supplies in South Shields. These bricks not only provided structural integrity but also added a beautiful aesthetic to the property.

We paid close attention to details such as the brick coursing and ensuring proper alignment. We also incorporated features like brick on edge and pillar caps to enhance the overall design.

Day 5: Paving and Finishing Touches

The final day was dedicated to paving and adding the finishing touches. We laid a new block paving pattern using Armstrong charcoal pavers, also sourced from South Tyne Building Supplies. This created a striking contrast with the brickwork and added a modern touch to the property.

We installed a small step from the street to the customer's yard, improving accessibility and adding a polished look to the entrance.

The Result

The transformation was remarkable. We replaced old, worn-out walls with sturdy, attractive brickwork that complemented the property perfectly. The new paving enhanced the overall appearance and functionality of the outdoor space.

Our attention to detail, from the choice of materials to the precise execution of the work, resulted in a project that not only met but exceeded our client's expectations. The neighbours were equally impressed with the improvement to the street's appearance.
