Garden & Retaining Walls for homes in Rainworth
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 Rainworth
Rainworth is a village between Mansfield and Southwell that grew substantially around Rufford colliery, giving it a core of planned brick housing on regular plots alongside more recent private development. It sits on the edge of the Sherwood sandstone belt on generally free-draining ground, which is favourable for driveway and patio base construction. The village's plots tend to be regular and reasonably generous — the sort where a driveway can be laid out properly with a defined border and turning area rather than squeezed in, and where a rear garden has enough length to justify separating a patio close to the house from a lawn or artificial grass area further down. Mature hedging and established boundaries are common and usually worth designing around.
