Garden & Retaining Walls for homes in Lincoln
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 Lincoln
Lincoln is a city of two very distinct halves for anyone doing outdoor work. Uphill, around the Bailgate, Minster Yard and the steep streets running off them, you are dealing with historic stone properties, conservation area constraints, restricted access and gardens on a genuine gradient — jobs where retaining walls, steps and terracing do most of the work and material choice needs to sit sympathetically against local limestone. Downhill and out through the newer suburbs, the picture changes completely to inter-war and modern housing on flatter ground with conventional drives and rear gardens. The city's limestone escarpment means level changes are a recurring feature rather than an occasional complication, so we plan the retaining and the drainage first on Lincoln jobs and let the finished surfaces follow from that.
