What it is, and why it matters.
A masonry garden wall defines a space. It can wrap a courtyard, screen a patio, hold a bed of plants or mark a property line, and it lasts far longer than wood or vinyl. It also has to be built well, because a tall freestanding wall catches the wind like a sail.
We build garden walls and privacy walls for homes in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. Each wall has a proper footing, reinforcement in the cores or piers where it is needed, and a cap that keeps water out of the top of the wall.
Four things done right.
A footing that carries it
A poured footing below the frost line keeps the wall from tilting or cracking.
Piers and ties
Piers or reinforcement keep a tall freestanding wall steady against wind.
Control joints
Planned joints let the wall move with the seasons without cracking.
A cap that sheds water
A sloped cap keeps rain from soaking into the top of the wall.

Garden and Privacy Walls: common questions
How tall can a garden wall be?
Height limits depend on the city, the neighborhood and the property line. We check the rules and design the wall to be stable at the height you want.
Do I need a permit for a masonry wall?
Some walls need one, especially taller walls or ones near a property line. We tell you what to expect and can help with the paperwork.
