Low masonry walls that seat guests, frame patios and edge garden beds in brick or stone.
Not every wall needs to hold back a hill. Low seat walls give a patio extra seating without furniture, define an outdoor room and add a gentle sense of enclosure. Garden walls hold raised beds, edge planting areas and give plants a neat, permanent frame.
We build these walls with the same care as taller structures. They sit on proper footings, they are capped with smooth stone or brick that is comfortable to sit on and they include drainage where soil is held back. The result is a feature that looks natural and holds up to years of use. Because these walls are touched, leaned on and sat on every day, we pay special attention to cap thickness, edge shape and surface texture so the wall feels as good as it looks on a summer evening.
A comfortable seat is about the height of a chair. We shape caps wide enough to sit on and smooth enough to be pleasant.
A seat wall around a fire pit or along the edge of a patio makes the area feel like a room without closing it in.
Masonry beds hold soil neatly and last longer than wood. We add drainage and a height that suits your gardening.
Gentle curves, piers at the ends and low lights built into the wall add polish and make evening use safe.
