How We Build Your Garden Wall in Ashford!
Site Visit & Quote
We visit your property, look at the space, and discuss what you want from the wall: height, material, style and purpose. We assess the ground conditions and any drainage considerations before preparing a clear, comprehensive written quote.
Marking Out & Excavation
We mark out the exact position of the wall and excavate the ground to the correct depth for the foundations. Getting this right at the start is what determines how solid, straight, and level the wall stays over time.
Foundations
Concrete foundations are poured and left to set fully before any brickwork begins. The depth and width of the foundations depend on the wall’s height and weight, taking this stage seriously is what keeps the wall solid for years.
Building the Wall
Bricks, blocks, or stone are laid course by course using a strong mortar mix, keeping every course level, plumb, and consistent. We check alignment regularly as the wall goes up to ensure it stays straight and true throughout.
Coping & Finishing
Once the wall reaches the agreed height, coping stones or brick soldiers are fitted along the top to give the wall a neat, finished appearance and to protect it from rainwater entering the mortar joints below.
Pointing & Cleaning
The mortar joints are neatly pointed to give the wall a clean, professional finish. The surrounding area is cleared of waste and debris before we leave, so your garden is tidy, and the finished wall is ready to admire.
Why Ashford Homeowners Choose Stoneline for Garden Walls
Strong Foundations Every Time
A garden wall is only as good as what it sits on. We dig and pour every foundation to the correct depth and width for the wall being built, making sure it stays solid and upright for years without shifting or leaning.
Right Material for Your Property
Brick, natural stone, and block all give a different look and suit different property styles. We help you choose the right material for your home and make sure the finished wall complements the rest of your outdoor space.
Neat, Consistent Brickwork
Straight courses, tight joints, and clean pointing make the difference between a wall that looks professionally built and one that looks rushed. We take care with every course to make sure the finished result looks sharp and sits well with the rest of your property.
Built for the Long Term
Garden walls take a lot of punishment from wind, rain, and frost. We use quality materials and proper mortar mixes that hold up through years of changing weather without losing their strength or appearance.

Benefits of Garden Walling
Better Privacy
A well-built garden wall gives your outdoor space a stronger sense of privacy than fencing alone can. It blocks the view from the street or neighbouring properties and makes your garden feel like a more enclosed, comfortable space to spend time in.
Adds Structure to Your Garden
A garden wall gives your outdoor space a clear definition and shape. It separates different areas, frames your driveway or lawn, and gives the whole garden a more intentional, well-thought-out appearance.
Extremely Durable
Unlike timber fencing that rots, warps, or blows down in strong winds, a properly built masonry wall remains solid for decades, even in changing weather conditions. It is one of the longest-lasting boundary solutions available.
Low Maintenance
Once built, a garden wall needs very little attention. There is no painting, treating, or replacing panels after a storm. An occasional inspection and repointing every decade or so is usually all that is
needed.
Increases Kerb Appeal
A neat, well-finished garden wall makes an immediate difference to how your property looks from the street. It frames the front of your home and gives it a more polished, considered appearance, adding real character to your property’s exterior.
Adds Value to Your Property
A well-finished garden wall improves your home's overall appearance from the street and adds genuine, lasting appeal, helping increase its long-term value to future buyers without breaking your renovation budget.

frequently asked questions
Starting a garden walling project raises plenty of questions, and that’s completely normal. Here are the ones we hear most from homeowners across Kent.
Do I need planning permission for a garden wall?
In most cases, no. Garden walls generally fall under permitted development, meaning no planning permission is required. However, if your wall will be over one metre high and sits next to a road or footpath, or over two metres high elsewhere, you may need permission. We will check this for your specific situation during our site visit.
How high can a garden wall be without planning permission?
As a general rule, walls next to a highway or footpath can be up to one metre high without planning permission. Walls in other positions can be up to two metres. If you live in a conservation area or a listed building, different rules may apply. Just let us know your situation, and we will point you in the right direction.
How long does a garden wall last?
A properly built masonry wall can last for decades, often 50 years or more, with very little maintenance. The key is getting the foundations right and using quality mortar that holds up through changing weather conditions.
Can an existing wall be repaired rather than rebuilt?
In many cases, yes. If the structure is still solid, we can repoint the joints, replace damaged bricks, or repair the coping to bring the wall back to a good standard. We assess every wall individually and give you an honest recommendation on whether repair or rebuild is the better option.
How long does it take to build a garden wall?
Most garden wall projects are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the wall’s length and height. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. We agree on a clear timeline before we start, so you always know what to expect.
