A friend, in his travels, has seen the garden wall shown at

and wants a similar wall to be built where he now lives.

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.

We would like to know VERY ROUGHLY what the cost might be for 20 metres of such a wall, with earth but not plants, so as to choose between "We can easily afford that", "We must investigate further", and "Far too expensive, we'll do something else".

Failing that, we would like to know what that sort of wall is properly called, to help with our Google/Wikipedia research.

Yes; I had seen the wall before, including before it had plants!

I just met a builder, by chance, who said that bricklaying costs at least £1 per brick, so I'll get a minimum value from the surface area of the proposed wall divided by the surface area of the side of a brick.

Wall say 60 feet long by 3 feet high by 2 sides = 360 sq ft. Leaning out of window with tape measure, brick+mortar is 9 ins by 3 ins, calculator says 360*144/27 = 1920 - for bricklaying alone ~ £2000 minimum.

Google swiftly finds that ordinary good bricks are about £1 each, so another £2000 for bricks. Then there's foundations, requiring digging up a 40-yr old unkempt hedge and I suppose pouring concrete, buying earth ....

Total, therefore, at least several thousand pounds. Any improvements for the above?

I suspect that price is all-in, for laying commons. No way does just the labour cost £1/brick unless a bricky is earning £500 a day nowadays..

Somebody in my road seems to have put some terra cotter narrow planters on
top of a wall, tend not sure how, secured them to said wall with a tiny gap,
one assumes for drainage and then has plants that flow over the sides to
make it look like its all one wall.There are pillars at either end, as high
as the top of the planter. I suspect the issue they may have is when there
is little rain, but since I cannot see in detail these days, I'm not even
sure its still there. I had considered this myself, but it looked too much
like hard work or too much expense at the time. grin.

The owner has told Google that they mustn't show their
property in detail. There are often gaps in the Google
coverage.

For example, I was preparing a map for a CAMRA pub crawl a few
months ago but a section of road over 300m long gidn't exist.
You could approach from the south but when you gor so far,
that was it. The same coming from the north. I try to make the
map as accurate as possible butcouldn't find the precise
location for the pub. I found it on on Open Streetmap and
guess what? There was a primary school directly opposite!

I looked at various other schools in the area and no problem,
so it was obviouly blocked following a specific demand.

Yes. But if you have your line length set to the generally
accepted line length of 80 characters, the link fits neatly
into one line.

The long link breaks at the end of the line, so doesn't work
without some repair work or using tinyurl (or similar).

I think it is purely random but you are obviously unlucky!

accepted line length of 80 characters, the link fits neatly
into one line.

The long link breaks at the end of the line, so doesn't work
without some repair work or using tinyurl (or similar).


In News, the lifetime of the link is not of great importance.
But I often write in HTML (because I know enough of HTML
better than I do of my other non-plaintext systems) and
there line-length does not matter but longevity does.

I have now remembered that when considering the cost of a wall, one
should also consider its effect on the resale vale of the property.

I'm intrigued now. What is it about the house next door (across the side
road) that has led Google to blur it all out?

The owner has told Google that they mustn't show their
property in detail. There are often gaps in the Google
coverage.

For example, I was preparing a map for a CAMRA pub crawl a few
months ago but a section of road over 300m long gidn't exist.
You could approach from the south but when you gor so far,
that was it. The same coming from the north. I try to make the
map as accurate as possible butcouldn't find the precise
location for the pub. I found it on on Open Streetmap and
guess what? There was a primary school directly opposite!

I looked at various other schools in the area and no problem,
so it was obviouly blocked following a specific demand.

That is a little different. That is removing the whole photograph. My
neighbour's is the same. He parks some expensive cars on his drive.

But this shows the whole house blurred out.
