Building a Gothic archway

My first hard landscaping work - the start of a brick archway, which was like none I've seen before. An antique looking archway to be decorated with tile and stone and even moss added in to the wet mortar mix. This lent itself for having a slightly hap hazard finish and did not require the preciseness of laying a standard brick or stone feature.

REFLECTIVE COMMENTS
I feel I can take most of these landscaping skills in to the work place myself and feel more confident in building brick features, but theres still some way to go before laying professional looking brick work!!
