Garden walls, steps and raised beds for homes in Tenbury Wells and the Teme valley, plus repairs and repointing for older brick that has settled, cracked or lost its mortar over time.
Tenbury Wells is a small market town in the Teme valley, right on the edge of Worcestershire where it meets Shropshire. Houses range from old town-centre brick to country cottages and newer infill, so garden walls here come in every age and condition. Whether the wall is brick, stone or a patchwork of both, we begin by finding out how it was built before suggesting any change.
We cover Tenbury Wells and the lanes around it for walls, pillars, steps and flower beds in brick. A lot of enquiries start with something simple, such as a lean in a front wall or a set of worn steps, and turn out to need a sensible look at drainage and footings as well as the brick. Many Tenbury Wells jobs are small, and we are happy to do small jobs properly rather than only taking on large ones.
A front garden wall in a market town does a lot of work. It marks the plot, keeps out the road noise and frames the house, so the brick and the capping stone matter as much as the structure. For a new wall we agree the height, the bond and whether brick piers are needed at intervals. Gate posts and pillars take more care, because the weight of a gate pulls on them every day and they need a deep, solid base. Longer runs of Garden Boundary Walls often settle better if built in sections with movement joints.
Not every brick job is structural. Raised brick planters and flower beds are popular in Tenbury Wells for lifting planting out of heavy soil, making a tidy edge to a lawn or creating seating height for older gardeners. Brick Garden Steps join different levels safely, and the details are worth getting right: an even rise, a slight fall on each tread so water runs off, and a firm base. Think about what will sit in the bed too. Deep soil is heavy and wet, so the walls need to be built accordingly.
Walls in the Teme valley see plenty of damp, and frost soon exposes weak mortar. Garden Wall Repairs often begin with a few loose bricks and end up as a section of rebuild once the wall is opened up. Repointing is the right answer when joints have eroded but the wall stands true. When bricks must be swapped, we look for a close match in colour and size, which can take a little hunting for older stock. Ivy and trees growing against a wall are a common cause of damage, so we check what is behind it as well.
Tenbury Wells sits where the Teme runs down towards Worcestershire, and the area around it is a mix of small town streets, farms and cottages. We work in the town itself and across the nearby countryside, including towards Ludlow, Leominster and Bromyard, and back along the valley to Bewdley. Rural plots often mean longer driveways, hedged boundaries and old walls that have never had proper foundations, so each visit is about what the wall is standing on as much as what it looks like. We give a free quote after seeing the site.
We also take on garden brickwork work in nearby Ludlow, Leominster, Bromyard, Bewdley.

“Jim and Dan did a brilliant job on my 90ft conifer. Its a lot safer now and I have more light in the garden...”
“The boys did an excellent job... pruned my trees back and remove one tree that had split...”
“The guys were prompt & proffesional removed an old ash for me thanks guys”
We can usually get close. Colour, size and surface texture all vary, so we compare samples against the wall in daylight and sometimes use reclaimed bricks. A perfect match is not always possible, and we will tell you honestly how well a repair is likely to blend. A cracked or open joint here is your first warning, so deal with it before winter.
Rules depend on whether the wall faces a highway and on any local restrictions or listings. Check with the council if you are unsure, especially for front walls. We can build to whatever height is approved, with piers where needed.
Yes. A bed with no way out for water turns boggy and can push on the walls. We leave weep holes or a gravel layer at the base, and set the bed on a proper footing so the walls do not lean.
