Finishing a wall end properly?

6 replies

Guys did my drive and cut the brick wall to widen the driveway entrance.

What's the best way to finish the raw brick edges, please?

If you still have the bricks they removed slice them up and use them as "tiles".

The way to do it is to take out the cut bricks and turn them around so the cut bit is into the mortar and a cleaned, un-cut bit is left showing. You might need some new ones, or use some of the ones from the wall that was removed.

Ah, that would be good.

I might get it rendered because I might be getting some done on the house but I figured there must be a proper way to do it.

They have cut the wall/ bricks because its quicker and easier from them too. The proper or neater way to do it is to tooth out the brickwork and then replace with some of the bricks they removed for the wall, with matching faces on the ends and not cut.
This will obviously add more time/ labour to the job but it looks a lot better and not dog rough cuts.
