I wan't a brick wall

I am planning to have a brick wall built some time this year and at a later date I want to add railings to add the finishing touches, I don't have a clue as to how I can I find a good bricklayer. I want a decent job doing but don’t know how to find a decent brick layer, any ideas?

I have the concrete fence posts in at the moment that have been concreted into the ground, would I have to get these out myself or better still let the man of the house do it in order to keep costs down, same with tree stumps?
Any help and ideas would be appreciated.

    If you can do it all in one go then the company providing the railings would sort out the brickwork for you.

    Recommendations are the best way to go. Have a look about in your locality and see if anyone has had railings done and ask them.

    See if there are any similar things in your area, that are new, just knock on the door and ask who built it for them, they wont think its weird after all your paying them a compliment saying how good their wall is.

    What they said ^

    That's how a friend of mine found a good bricky, he knocked on the door and the guy who owned the house was the one who'd built the wall.
