Does this sound like your garden?
You want a garden with softer lines and traditional materials, not straight slabs and fences, and you need someone who can actually build curves in brick.
The job

What we did
- Set out the curves on the ground
- Built the curved brick walls

Questions people ask
Is a herringbone brick path hard wearing?
Yes. The interlocking pattern spreads weight well, which is why it is also used on driveways.
Do brick paths get slippery?
Brick can grow algae in shade. Choosing a hard paving brick and cleaning it once a year keeps it safe.
Can you build raised beds in brick?
Yes, curved or straight, with drainage so the soil does not stay waterlogged.
