About North Sydney

North Sydney's residential pockets behind the office towers carry tight terraces and inter-war housing on blocks that vary from flat to stepped. Heritage controls cover much of the housing stock.

Brick fences

Brick fences in North Sydney.

Front fence work is usually short and considered: matching period brickwork, decorative piers, and caps that fit the terrace street rhythm.

What we handle

  • Demolition of existing fences
  • Concrete footings
  • Bricklaying: face brick, render, paint
  • Piers, capping, decorative detailing
  • Gates and aluminium-slat infills
  • Combined retaining-and-fence builds

See more on our brick fences page, or talk through styles on the brick fence design page.

  • Excavation and concrete footings
  • Reinforced concrete block construction
