With summer hopefulkly on the way I am about to tackle a big problem, the garden!
My first problem is the retaining wall, which at present is only approximately 2 feet away from the back of the house. My dilema is to I attempt to try and move the wall back which will be a very hard job, removing several tonnes of rubble and earth or is there anything else someone can suggest that would be a better alternative than looking at this unsightly wall and steps out fo the kitchen window, (besdies slose my eyes and close the blinds).
I would like the wall maybe rebricked rather than cemenet over it, or I have been looking into stone cladding or brick slips but not sure if this is possible.
Any Suggestions?
I have added a few bicks of the wall and steps and also a blurred shot out of the upstairs window to show how close the wall is to the kitchen.
Would appreciate comments and sugegstions
Thanks, Darren
