Morning all,
I've got an old stone wall (roughly 6" wide and 10" tall) that runs the length of my garden that was originally used to create a border for a plant bed. The problem is that it's really ugly and has weeds growing through some of the stone, though the actual structure is still solid.
What I want to do is put some timber either side of the wall (about an inch or 2 away from both sides) to act as a barrier, so that I can pour cement straight over the wall and basically encasing it and hopefully achieving a smoother finish...
Is this doomed from the start or should I be using cement + some other substance?
I don't want to use conrete as I don't really want little stones visible from the sides once it's all dry.
Any advice?
