Construction of the walls

  1. We dig a solid foundation to provide adequate support
  2. Wall design - the walls can either be single of double brick in thickness, depending largely on the height of the wall
  3. Drainage - proper drainage is essential to prevent water buildup behind the wall, which can increase pressure and potentially lead to wall failure
  4. Reinforcement - higher walls may require additional reinforcement measures
  5. Mortar joints - the mortar used in the construction of the wall should be appropriate for the local climate and conditions
  6. Capping - the top of the wall can be capped with specially designed bricks, stones, or coping to protect the wall from water ingress and provide a finished look
