Default REQUEST - very rough estimate of cost of a garden wall

The wall is evidently mostly two thin brick walls, perhaps with ties between, and with a sufficient layer of earth at the top between, and something to hold that layer up, and maybe drainage - most of that is guessed. In the picture, it is growing little bushes.


Evidently you need to look closer, I don't see two skins...

The OP is correct.

I think it looks horrible though. I'd wonder whether it is full of
earth, or just has a trough at the top. If I *were* building such a
thing I'd be inclined to make it from 9 inch blocks with a brick facing
at the front only.
