Hello,
We currently have builders in our back garden stepping our existing slope with two retaining walls. They have poured these with concrete and side walls also have breeze blocks. The builder asked us to purchase 'facing bricks' from the local builders merchants, but when we went to look, these were all quite deep and would mean the wall would be very thick when a layer was built up either side of the concrete wall. I have since been looking into it and have seen some stone cladding which would be a better thickness, but I am guessing that this would be very expensive and we can't get it from anywhere local. We thought we could maybe utilise paving stones in a similar way. They would be decorative. Does anyone know if this is plausible at all?
Thank you!!
