Garden & Retaining Walls for homes in Staveley
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 Staveley
Staveley is a former industrial and mining town north-east of Chesterfield, sitting in the Rother valley, and its housing is largely brick terracing and ex-council semis built for the works and the collieries, with newer estate development added around the edges. As with a lot of the north Derbyshire coalfield towns, the older housing frequently comes with a wider plot and a longer rear garden than the property itself suggests, so there is real scope for a driveway with proper turning space and a rear garden scheme with distinct zones. Ground conditions across former industrial land can be inconsistent, which is exactly why we excavate and assess the sub-base properly rather than laying a new surface straight over whatever happens to be there.
