Garden & Retaining Walls for homes in Arnold
We build walls — retaining walls that hold a change in level across a sloping garden, boundary and front garden walls, low walls that frame a patio or raise a planting bed, and the piers and steps that go with them. A retaining wall is a structural job rather than a decorative one: it needs footings dug to the right depth, the correct blockwork or masonry behind the face, and drainage built in behind it so water pressure does not build up and push it out over the following winters. We match brick and stone to the house as closely as the materials allow, and finish copings and caps so the top line of the wall runs true.
Working in Arnold
Arnold is one of the larger towns in the Gedling borough, effectively continuous with Nottingham's northern edge, and it is dominated by suburban housing from the inter-war period through to the present day. The typical job here is a semi-detached or detached property with a frontage large enough for a genuine two-car driveway and a rear garden of a workable size — big enough for a proper patio and a defined lawn or artificial grass area, but not so large that it needs a full estate-scale scheme. The ground rises noticeably in parts of the town toward Redhill and the northern edges, which brings in the steps and low retaining walls needed to take a sloping rear garden into a level, usable terrace. Frontage upgrades from worn concrete or tarmac to block paving or resin are the most common request.
