Hi All
New member here. Part way through a project and I would like to ask some advice. We have a small patio at the back of our house which is below the level of the garden ( approx 550mm ). There is a double skin brieze block wall (red) faced in some nice old stone (blue) which acts as a retaining wall around the patio. On the right hand side of the patio we had a great big 'planter' which basically took up about 1 metre of space. This is on the same level as the garden. I have now removed this and put in new slabs up to the boundary wall.
The questions i have relate to the small section of new wall I must now build between the existing retaining wall and the boundary wall marked as 'new wall section' on the diagram. I am basically planning to copy what is already there ie double thinkness of brieze blocks and faced in older stone. Obviously this means joining into existing breize blocks on the left hand side and butting up against the bounary wall on the right hand side. I have put in a small concrete slip foundation and will build off this but I can't quite see how I should join into the existing walls at each end. Any advice about this or anything else would be a great help. I should be able to post some actual pictures tomorrow. Thanks in advance
