Choosing the perfect location for your garden wall
The first step in building a garden wall is selecting an appropriate location in your yard. Consider factors such as sunlight exposure, soil condition, and proximity to existing structures. (For more details check out this site)
Gathering the necessary tools and materials
Before starting the project, ensure you have all the essential tools and materials ready. You will typically need bricks or stones, cement mix, sand, a shovel, trowels, spirit level, string lines, a hammer or rubber mallet.
Preparing the foundation for your garden wall
To create a solid base for your garden wall that will withstand weather conditions and pressure from soil behind it:
- Dig a trench along where you want the wall situated.
- The trench should be wide enough to fit at least two brick lengths side by side.
- Ensure that the trench depth is equal along its length using a spirit level and measuring tape.
- Add some gravel or hardcore material to create stability and drainage within the trench.
