Hey guys I want to build a garden wall it will be 8 bricks high, and double thickness, how deep and how wide should the footings be, do I use engineering bricks on top of the ballast and cement so it is flush with the floor and start build the wall straight on top, or is it okay not to have the engineering bricks. cheers!
Your local town or county will have the codes you need to meet to build the wall properly. You may need a building permit to build your wall. Check with the building inspector or permitting department. If you don't you may have to rip it down pay fines and rebuild it
Back in 1990, Marshalls produced a simple but effective video on how to build a garden wall using techniques that are still used to the present day.
size approx 130 feet long and about 16 foot wide ,at the bottom of the garden the wall would need to be about 6 foot high working toward the patio level outside our conservatory ,so a 16 foot long 6 foot high wall ,then filled in ? then we could look out at a level garden ? put a 6 foot fence all round ! dream come true !! no permissions required ? any ideas on costs ? a lot of earth in a big hole ? how long would it take ? all replys welcome thanks M & J
To retain 6ft depth of soil or infill & 3ft of soil your wall would need , a 2ft x 2ft foundation at deepest end , reinforcing mesh cut to 18inch wide bedded at 6inch deep into foundations , overlapped 6 to 8 inches then blocks built at 18 inch wide at base until 3ft high then 9 inch for another 2ft then 6inches for last foot . Maybe best way (still same type foundations & reinforcing ) then shuttering 8 inches wide , reinforcing mesh in centre , and then poured concrete wall , far stronger & cheaper , re inforcing rods secured into foundation 8ft long 3 ft apart or so one solid unit when finished hope this helps or gives you food for thought

Easy to apply, just peel and stick
Dig a foot trench the length of the wall your going to build and fill with six inches of concrete. Set a line of stone into the wet Concrete and leave to go off. Then with mortar set add another layer of stone. As a general rule there should be a two layered stone course below the ground level. The third brick course should be above ground level and work your way up.

When you say garden wall do you mean a retaining wall? If so, then you can go several feet. Just make sure you use something like chicken wire or welded wire panels to reinforce the cement. You can even use the chicken wire to form the structure and then lay the cement over it. Here is a site listing different types of cement and what they are used for. I just use ready mix, but I don't build anything really high either.

How much will it cost to have a brick wall of 25 yards x 6' high built around my garden. From foundations to round coping. This is in Salisbury, Wiltshire. UK.
What is the difference in cost between new and reclamation bricks?
for this project you require for a double wall 120 bricks per square metre thats about 6000 bricks the average pallet is 500 bricks costing £150 per pallet(This does depend on the quality) so you are looking at about £2000 for bricks plus mortar mix it yourself for about £500 cappings of about £200 and a foundation of concrete for a further £200 so thats about £3000 if you DIY. Reclaimed bricks tend to be more expensive because they are trendy you can pay about 30p for a new brick and 40p for a reclaimed brick.

Creating a traditional dry stone wall with local resources ...
As you travel from place to place in the UK (or the world) there is much historical evidence of localised material production and use.
In areas such as Wales, Scotland and Cornwall, local stone, often only hauled across a field from a quarry adjacent to its final resting place, has been used for whole villages, including boundary walls and even roofs.
Wood was cut in the local woodland with straw and mud taken from neighbouring farmland. Often, clay pits would be opened up and the clay fired to produce bricks and tiles.
On land that has high flint content, the flint was knapped and used in conjunction with brick and stone to build houses - all in all, a sensible way to utilise natural resources as close as possible to the building site.
I think that garden designers and landscapers (and house builders) are faced with an increased challenge of sourcing and using local materials in new gardens or additional features in existing schemes.
In this You Tube video, Cornwall Landscaping demonstrates how local stone is used to build strong but, aesthetically pleasing, boundary walls.

With all the muss and fuss and care requirements, I don't know if you can really call this technology "sustainable" anymore. I also wonder how they chose the plants palette, and if their individual root systems and water requirements would prevent them from surviving a "vertical" environment anyways.
Leave it to building architects, all form over living thing function. {Take with a grain of salt, as this is coming from a bitter landscape architect (:}
There's a lot of mis-information here on living walls.The reason for failure is all speculation without knowing the construction details and specifications of the wall design and maintenance. Yes, living walls require irrigation and it would be completely imprudent to install a wall such as this without irrigation (still don't know if that were the case, but I doubt it). Secondly, perhaps the irrigation failed and maintenance were done accordingly, but again I cannot fathom an irrigation...
