We’ll check local ground conditions at your site visit. It’s fine to choose “Not sure” if you don’t know the soil type.

Include a finishing cap along the top of the wall

Material choices price quantities; they do not confirm a safe wall thickness. Wind exposure, movement joints and any necessary piers are checked at the site visit.

Concrete foundationInclude excavation and a concrete foundation

We’ll check the soil, nearby trees and wall design before confirming the foundations. You don’t need to choose trench dimensions or a concrete specification.

Technical information for professional clients

Foundations suited to the site

The ground matters
as much as the wall.

Foundation size depends on loads, bearing conditions, ground movement and nearby trees. Approved Document A provides guidance for applicable building foundations; its tables are not an automatic design for freestanding garden walls.

Ordinary freestanding garden walls generally do not need building regulations approval, but still need a sound design. Wall height, thickness, wind exposure and supports must be checked. Structural walls and walls supporting other buildings need separate assessment.

Concrete is a specification, not just a strength

GEN1 is a possible choice for unreinforced domestic foundations in assessed DC-1 ground. Where chemical conditions are aggressive, the concrete designation must match the assessed Design Chemical Class. Reinforced foundations need a designer’s specification. We do not infer a mix from “brick” or “block” alone.
