Garden wall FAQs
How much does a garden wall cost in Watford?
A simple single-skin garden wall typically runs £150–£250 per linear metre. Double-skin retaining walls with proper foundations and drainage are £400–£800 per linear metre. We give a fixed quote after a site visit.
Do garden walls need planning permission?
Walls under 1m high next to a highway, or under 2m high elsewhere, are usually permitted development. Listed buildings and conservation areas have stricter rules. We help you check before starting.
What's the difference between a retaining wall and a garden wall?
A garden wall is decorative or marks a boundary. A retaining wall holds back soil — it needs deeper foundations, weep holes for drainage and often steel reinforcement. We build both, and we'll tell you honestly which you need.
Can you match existing brickwork?
Yes. We source reclaimed or matching new bricks and match mortar colour and joint style (flush, weather struck, recessed) so the new work blends with what's there.
