I am hoping to lay a patio in my back garden. The garden is sloped so I have started digging out to make the patio level. This has started to expose the boundary wall foundations. (single brick wall). To make the patio level I would need to dig below the foundation level for part of the wall (about 3 metres along the wall) once the hardcore was laid for the patio this would still leave the foundations exposed. I was thinking of making a concrete ledge that would go to just above the foundations which I would then render. Would this be sufficient to secure the foundations of the wall? Is there any problems with this approach? would I need to go further and underpin the wall?
I am new to all this so any help appreciated.
