Read articleBrick has a warmth and solidity that suits both classic and modern homes. A well-chosen feature can make a property feel more finished, and it is a practical way to add personality to the front yard or outdoor living area.
Ideas to consider
- Entrance walls and piers with lighting or house numbers
- Letterbox pillars that match the home
- Garden and planter walls
- Outdoor kitchens and BBQ surrounds
- Feature walls beside a pool or entertaining area
Matching your home
A feature looks best when it feels like part of the original design. Picking up the colour of the existing brick, roof or trim helps tie it together. Bricks and mortar can often be closely matched, though older materials may take some searching.
Details that make the difference
Straight lines, consistent joints and neat capping are what people notice. Footings and drainage matter too, even for a low wall, because they help the feature stay straight and free of cracks.
