How We Build a Brick Wall
Building a brick wall requires careful planning and precise execution. Rest assured that our experts know how to construct a brick wall. The process more or less follows these steps:
- Plan and Design: We start by measuring the area where the wall will go. We help clients decide on the height, length, and type of bricks. We create a detailed plan including the foundation.
- Prepare the Foundation: It’s sometimes necessary to excavate the area for the foundation and ensure the base is level and compacted. Our experts will pour the concrete and allow it to cure before proceeding.
- Lay the First Course: We start by laying the first row of bricks on the foundation. Our experts use a level to ensure each brick is straight and aligned. We then apply mortar between bricks and press them firmly.
- Build Up the Wall: We continue laying bricks, applying mortar as we go. We use a trowel to smooth and shape the mortar.
- Finish the Top: Once the desired height is reached, we finish the top course of bricks. Our experts ensure the wall is level. Then, we can clean off excess mortar.
- Curing and Maintenance: Allow the mortar to cure for several days. Protect the wall from extreme weather during this period.
How We Build a Retaining Wall
Constructing a retaining wall involves a different approach. We know how to construct a retaining wall effectively:
- Design and Planning: Again, we’ll help you determine the wall’s height and design. Consider factors such as drainage and soil type. Create a detailed plan and obtain any necessary permits.
- Excavate and Prepare the Base: It’s important to dig a trench for the foundation of the retaining wall. The trench should be wider than the wall and level.
- Install the Base Course: We will lay the first course of retaining wall blocks or bricks. Our experts always ensure they are level and aligned. We then backfill behind the blocks with gravel.
- Build the Wall: We will continue laying courses of blocks or bricks. We use a level to check alignment.
- Backfill and Compaction: As we build, we backfill with gravel or soil and compact each layer to ensure stability.
- Finish and Maintenance: Our specialists will complete the top of the wall and tidy up the area. We ensure proper drainage to prolong the life of the wall.
