Brick retaining walls
Brick retaining walls define the separate garden tiers and frame the steps between them.
GARDEN PROJECT · CANTERBURY, KENT
Tiered garden with retaining walls in Canterbury.
A tiered garden combining brick retaining walls, shingle infill and riven buff slab circles, with steps connecting the levels.
THE PROJECT
Garden levels defined by brick walls and circular paving.
This Canterbury project brings together retaining walls, shingle infill and riven buff slab circles across a tiered garden. Brick walls divide the space into distinct levels, while a flight of steps connects them along one side.
The circular buff paving forms a feature within the shingle areas. Its lighter colour contrasts with the brickwork, and the curved patterns soften the straight edges of the retaining walls. The project photographs follow the work through the wall construction and prepared levels to the finished shingle and paving circles.
What the project included
Shingle infill
Shingle fills the areas inside the retaining walls and surrounds the circular paving features.
Riven buff slab circles
Riven buff slabs form circular paved features within the garden levels, adding a different shape and texture alongside the brick edges.
Steps between levels
Buff paving on the steps connects the tiers, with brickwork marking the sides of the route.
