Brick fences and retaining walls in Northwood.

Northwood 2066 - Lower North Shore

About Northwood

Northwood's quiet peninsula carries substantial homes on stepped blocks toward the river. The fall toward the foreshore is a constant factor.

Brick fences

Brick fences in Northwood.

Fences here are pier-and-panel face brick or rendered, with substantial piers that match the substantial architecture. Combined retaining-and-fence builds at the front boundary are standard given the foreshore slope.

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.

  • Site assessment and engineered design
  • Demolition of existing structures
  • Excavation and concrete footings
  • Reinforced concrete block construction
  • Drainage and tanking
  • Render, paint, or face-block finishes
