Garden & Boundary Walls in Devon
Rendering garden, boundary and retaining walls with correct coping and weathering detail.
Devon property owners come to us for garden & boundary walls for one of two reasons: something has failed, or the house looks tired.
The prevailing picture in Devon is cob and thatch, stone farmhouses and extensive coastal housing. That means cement render on cob causing structural decay comes up more here than almost anywhere else. The area sees high rainfall and exposed coastal conditions, which is the single biggest factor in how long any render lasts here.
Local factor. Cob is unforgiving — it must be finished in lime, and cement rendering over cob is one of the most damaging things that can be done to a devon property.
Is garden & boundary walls right for a Devon property?
Choose this for boundary, garden and retaining walls where you want the finish to match the house and actually survive the weather.
That decision gets made at the survey, not on the phone. We will tell you plainly if a different system would serve the building better — including when a cheaper one would.

FAQs
Garden & Boundary Walls in Devon — questions
Why does render fall off my garden wall?
Almost always water entering the unprotected top of the wall, then freezing. A properly overhanging coping with a drip is the single most important detail.
Can you match the render to my house?
Yes — we match colour and texture so the boundary reads as part of the property rather than an afterthought.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
