Hi,
We have Hawthorne hedges all the way round our new house (four sides). They are really patchy and useless at keeping the dog in so we need to replace them with something else. We would like a a brick wall at the front (1 meter high) and 30 meters long with gates. Is there a general guide cost per meter for a brick wall to be built? I appreciate foundations would need to be laid once the hedges have been removed.
We are thinking of replacing the back hedge with post and rail with a heavy duty mesh stuff to stop the dog getting out. That way we get to make the most of the view over the fields at the back with minimal maintenance etc. does anyone know how long post and rail is likely to last for as my husband reckons it will rot pretty quickly.
Ideally we would like to replace the side hedges with brick wall as well but I suppose that depends on cost, however if anybody else has any alternative suggestions I would be grateful. It is about 30 meters in length so 60 meters in total accounting for both sides. We don't want concrete posts and fence panels as we don't want the painting/ maintenance hassle.
Thanks.
