Garden & Retaining Walls in Diss, Norfolk

A well-built garden wall or retaining structure is an asset to any property in Diss. Diss is a market town on the Norfolk–Suffolk border, sitting alongside Diss Mere — one of England's largest natural meres. The town has an attractive historic core of Georgian and Victorian brick buildings, and its location on the A1066 and A143 corridors means it has seen steady residential growth with new-build brick-and-block housing on both its Norfolk and Suffolk sides. Doughty Construction Ltd designs and builds garden walls, boundary walls and earth-retaining structures across Norfolk, working in brick or block with a proper concrete strip foundation so every wall is structurally sound from the ground up.

What's involved

Garden Walls & Retaining Walls in Diss

Garden walls require a proper concrete strip foundation — the depth depends on the wall height and the ground conditions. Retaining walls carry additional lateral pressure and must be designed accordingly, often with a wider base and a drainage detail behind to relieve water pressure. We advise on the correct structural approach at the quote stage so the wall is built to last.
