In Chatswood, Matt Bandiera of Outdoor Escape Landscaping handles brickwork and blockwork for garden walls, planter boxes, steps, outdoor kitchen bases and boundary walls. Masonry built on correct footings, with proper drainage behind it, resists the cracking and movement that spoil poorly built walls. Blockwork can also be rendered or clad to give a refined architectural finish. Chatswood is the major commercial centre of Willoughby City Council, and its surrounding residential streets include heritage conservation areas of Federation and interwar homes with established gardens, where new masonry needs to sit comfortably beside older brick. Clients receive itemised preliminary pricing that lists each line item separately rather than bundling everything into a lump sum. That transparency makes it easier to weigh options such as rendered blockwork against face brick. Site establishment and decking are related services from Outdoor Escape Landscaping. Masonry work is also completed in Lane Cove, Roseville and Lindfield.
