Beautiful and functional garden walls - Edinburgh & the Lothians

Well designed and professionally built garden walls will provide security and privacy, aesthetically enhance your landscaping design, and add structure and order to your outdoor spaces.

Whether you are looking for a boundary wall, a retaining wall, a base for a fence, seating or a pergola, or a way to visually and functionally separate different areas of your garden, Lothian Paving will build walls that are strong, durable and resilient as well as beautiful, custom designed for your particular property, your specific needs and your budget.

Available in a range of colours and textures, traditional brick garden walls weather beautifully, are the quickest to build, and the least expensive. Modern bricks are also frost resistant.

Natural sandstone walls are extremely long-lasting, visually attractive, and can be designed to achieve a variety of effects from rustic (undressed stone) to highly sophisticated and luxurious (fully-dressed Ashlar stone). Stone walls are the most expensive walling option, but the durability and the aesthetic results are worth the cost!

Drystone garden walls are constructed from carefully selected stones that are laid so they are stable without a need for any mortar. This old technique is particularly suitable for traditional rural properties and requires highly skilled professionals. Semi-drystone walls and drystone effect walls have the appearance of the real thing but use hidden mortar joints or reconstituted stone to make the construction easier and cheaper.

Smooth garden walls have a simple yet classy appearance particularly suitable for modern garden designs and the Mediterranean look. Rendered walls will require regular painting to maintain their sleek appearance. Although white is the most popular option, other colours can create a visually striking effect and become a focus of the whole landscaping scheme.

Traditional harling (roughcasting) using a mixture of stone aggregate and lime will help you protect masonry walls from the vagaries of Scottish weather.

The choice of walling materials should take into account the style of the house and the garden design. Whichever option you choose, Lothian Paving will build it for you with attention to detail and high-quality workmanship to ensure long-lasting functionality and great looks.

Lothian Paving also offer garden wall repairs for your existing walls in need of care. From a complete renovation to repointing to cleaning or painting, we will make sure that your walls regain their strength, structural integrity and great looks.
