Garden Walls and Raised Beds for homes in Thorpe St Andrew
Landscaping Norfolk provides garden walls and raised beds in Thorpe St Andrew and across the wider Broadland area. With 25 years of experience in hard landscaping and groundworks, we build to last: proper preparation, the right materials for the site and a clean finish. Every job starts with a site visit and a clear written quote, and we are based in Norfolk so Thorpe St Andrew is well within our normal working area.
Thorpe St Andrew lies along the River Yare on the east side of Norwich, with riverside houses, Victorian villas and a lot of post-war housing up the hill. Sloping gardens and drainage towards the river come up regularly.
Walls give a garden structure. Whether it is a low brick wall to edge a patio, a retaining wall to hold back a bank, or curved raised beds to lift the planting, we build them on proper concrete footings with the right bond, the right mortar and clean pointing.

Garden Walls & Raised Beds in Thorpe St Andrew: common questions
Do you cover Thorpe St Andrew for garden walls and raised beds?
Yes. Thorpe St Andrew (NR7) is within our regular working area and we carry out garden walls and raised beds there and in the surrounding villages. We visit to measure up and quote, and travel is included in the price.
How do I get a quote for garden walls and raised beds in Thorpe St Andrew?
Call or WhatsApp 07920 843493, email info@landscapingnorfolk.uk, or use the contact form. We will arrange a visit at a time that suits you, talk through what you want and send a written quote with no obligation.
How high can a garden wall be without planning permission?
Generally up to two metres, or one metre if it is next to a highway. Listed buildings and conservation areas can have extra rules, which is worth checking before we start.
Do retaining walls need drainage?
Yes. Water building up behind a retaining wall is the most common reason they fail. We add a gravel drainage layer and weep holes, and on larger walls a perforated land drain.
Are sleeper walls a good option?
Oak or treated softwood sleepers are a cost-effective and attractive way to build raised beds and low retaining walls. They will not last as long as brick or stone, but with a membrane behind them and proper fixings they give many years of service.
