Hi all, I'm hoping for some advice here. I have some small decorative walls in my front garden. As you can see, the walls aren't in great shape but I don't want to rip and replace them.
I'd like to strengthen and refinish them but need some advice from someone that knows what they're doing
The walls are probably 50 years old, so not too bad considering their age. I'm considering fixing any loose stone and then just covering with a sand and cement mix to strengthen and flatten them out and then clad with some slate shown here - https://www.realstonecladding.co.uk/knossos
Can somebody let me know if this would work and offer advice as to whether a mortar mix is the best option? Water does run through from the upper levels, so do I need to take this into consideration and do anything differently?
Thanks
