More Information
Materials and Styles
The right material for your garden wall depends on the style of your property and the local character. In the Fordingbridge and Avon Valley area, natural stone and brick are both commonly used and both look excellent when handled well. We work with hand-set natural stone for a traditional rural look, engineering brick or facing brick for more formal or contemporary styles, and concrete block for retaining walls and agricultural applications. We source materials locally where possible and are happy to match existing materials on your property for extensions or repairs to existing walls.
Foundations and Durability
A garden wall is only as good as its foundations. We always dig and pour concrete strip foundations to an appropriate depth for the height and weight of the wall being built. Skimping on foundations is the most common cause of wall failure over time, and it is something we never do. On sloping ground we build stepped foundations to follow the gradient correctly. For retaining walls we include appropriate drainage behind the wall to prevent water pressure from building up and causing structural failure.
Repairs to Existing Garden Walls
As well as new build walls, we repair existing garden walls that have become damaged, unstable or have suffered from poor pointing. Common issues we deal with include collapsed piers, frost-damaged brick faces, eroded mortar joints and walls that have moved or settled. If you have a garden wall that needs attention, we will assess it honestly and give you a fair view on whether repair or rebuilding is the most practical and cost-effective option.

We built a natural stone garden wall for a property near Rockbourne where the owner wanted to define the boundary between the formal garden and the paddock beyond, using stone that matched the existing stone in the farmhouse walls. We sourced matching local stone and built a dry-stone style wall with a lime mortar pointing that gave the right look without the maintenance issues of true dry stone. It has become a real feature of the garden and photographs beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of garden wall is best for a Hampshire garden near Fordingbridge?
It depends on the style of your property and the surrounding landscape. In the Fordingbridge area, natural stone or brick both work well and suit the local character. For modern properties, smooth blockwork or rendered walls can look excellent. Future Trees & Garden Maintenance will advise on the most suitable material and style when we visit for your free quote.
Do garden walls need planning permission near Fordingbridge?
Garden walls up to 2 metres high generally do not need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a Conservation Area the rules are stricter. Walls adjacent to highways are also subject to height restrictions. Future Trees & Garden Maintenance can advise you on any planning considerations when we visit for your free same day quote in the Fordingbridge area.
How long does a garden wall last in the SP6 area?
A properly built garden wall with good foundations and quality materials should last for many decades. The life of a wall depends on the quality of the original construction, the materials used, and how much maintenance it receives. Future Trees & Garden Maintenance builds walls to last.
