A retaining wall holds back soil on sloped ground, requiring deeper foundations and proper drainage — essential for Northamptonshire's clay soils. Both serve different structural purposes in your garden design."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long does brickwork take to cure before I can use raised beds?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"New brickwork needs 7-14 days to fully cure before heavy use, depending on weather conditions. For raised beds, we recommend waiting the full two weeks before adding soil and plants. The mortar continues strengthening for several weeks, but normal garden use is safe after the initial curing period."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can you match existing brickwork when building garden walls?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, we source reclaimed bricks or new bricks to match your existing property wherever possible. For older Northamptonshire homes, this often means finding traditional red clay bricks with similar texture and colour. Perfect matches aren't always possible with weathered brickwork, but we get very close."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do garden walls need planning permission in Northamptonshire?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Garden walls under 2 metres high (or 1 metre if adjacent to a highway) typically don't need planning permission under Permitted Development Rights. However, if you're in a conservation area or have restrictive covenants, additional rules may apply. We check local requirements with West or North Northamptonshire Council as part of our planning process."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What causes garden wall bricks to crack and need repointing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Northamptonshire's clay soil expands and contracts with weather changes, putting pressure on wall foundations. Combined with freeze-thaw cycles and age, mortar joints deteriorate first — usually after 15-25 years. Early repointing prevents water penetration and protects the underlying brickwork from more costly damage."}}]}]}
