How to Build a Garden Wall

Introduction

In this article, we will guide you through the process of building a garden wall. Whether you want to create a boundary for your garden or simply add an aesthetic touch, constructing a garden wall is an excellent way to enhance your outdoor space.

Gathering Materials and Tools

The first step in building any wall is collecting all the required materials and tools. Make sure you have enough bricks or stones, mortar mix, sand, cement, water, spirit level, trowel, jointing tool or brush for finishing touches.

Determining Wall Layout and Foundation

Before commencing construction work on your garden wall, decide the layout and dimensions of your desired structure. Mark the area where the wall will stand using string lines and stakes. Additionally prepare the foundation by digging down below frost level; generally around 20 centimeters deep.

Mixing Mortar and Laying Bricks/Stones

Prepare mortar by mixing sand with cement according to manufacturer instructions. Spread approximately 25mm (1 inch) mortar along each edge of the first brick/stone as your starting point. Lay them carefully ensuring they are levelled both horizontally and vertically using a spirit level at regular intervals.

Filling Gaps with Mortar

In order to strengthen and stabilize your garden wall further along with improving its overall appearance; fill gaps between bricks/stones with mortar mix using a trowel ensuring they adhere properly together (be careful not to smear mortar on visible surfaces).

Cleaning Excess Mortar

It is essential to clean any excess mortar from the wall when it is still workable. Use a jointing tool or a brush to make the final finishing touches, giving your garden wall a neat and professional look.

Curing and Maintenance

Allow your newly-constructed garden wall some time to cure before applying any pressure on it. Cover with plastic sheeting or damp cloth, keeping it moist for at least 24-48 hours. Remember regular maintenance such as checking for cracks, weed control, and occasional cleaning will ensure the longevity of your garden wall.

Conclusion

Building a garden wall requires some careful planning, patience, and attention to detail but provides great satisfaction once completed. Enjoy watching your beautiful new garden feature stand firm while adding aesthetic appeal and functionali
