Good morning,
I am looking for some guidance re: building a garden wall and where to measure the ground level from.
I would like to build a wall slightly away from the boundary line on my own land in my garden but it will face my neighbours property. I would like the wall to run from my the end of my house down my patio and into the garden approx 13ft in length and 7ft in height.
My patio which is slightly higher than the rest of the garden where the proposed wall will be built. I would need to remove some of the patio in order to lay the foundations to build the wall so would the wall then become classed as a retaining wall?
As the wall will then come past the end of the patio and down onto the lower land of the garden where do I measure the ground level from? Would it be from where I lay the foundations of the wall which will be below the level of the patio? i.e Do I then measure the height of the wall from the base of first course of bricks I lay or from the higher level of the patio which it will adjoin?
Thanks
