red bricks for a front garden wall

You should be able to use any red brick in my personal opinion a red stock would go nice with black railings and black mortar But I would probably say you want to match to wall to the front of your house so it ties in nicely together Most builders merchants have booklets you can pick up with different brick types or on their websites

You would usually only use red engineering bricks for the footings of the wall until you are about 2 courses above ground and also for any kind of feature course such as brick on edge/soldiers across the top of the wall as they have a better resistanceto water penetration. Other than that any red brick that you are happy with the look off should be fine as mentioned above.

Yer you can use them but there is plenty of red facing bricks that you can use that are lot nicer on the eye hope this is helpful

There are three main types of red bricks facing bricks, engineering bricks and common bricks.

Typically you use red engineering brick to get your wall out the ground then you can use any dercotive brick to build your wall

Yes this should be fine for this type of work

Usually you need to match bricks to house bricks also need to check with council if there any special requirements needed in your area
