A practical approach to brick & blocklaying
Good masonry needs to suit both the practical job and the materials around it. We consider foundations, wall height, drainage, coping, gate positions and how new brick or blockwork meets paving, fencing and existing structures. Where retaining pressure is involved, the construction needs to be planned for that purpose rather than treated as a decorative wall.
Across Dublin, low walls and entrance pillars are often closely tied to driveway work. Planning the masonry before the final paving or surfacing goes down helps avoid awkward cuts and makes the frontage look like one job rather than several separate additions.
