the structure of the wall needs to be installed first because the weight of the wall needs to be supported by a solid footing and the floor needs less support but are you able to cut the pavers to suit the curve, do you need a back rest for a simple bench seat and would the pavers be easier to lay in a straight line? have you consider the interlocking blocks that can be used for a low retaining wall without mortar?

The private firepit is my favourite. I'm not one for pools but a cosy nook away from the hubbub....yep.

me me, here is a floorplan which should give you a better idea. I have also uploaded some more 'side by side' shots

Thank you Dreamer, Sadly, it's the wall that is curved. The ledge going down has been packed to start the curve at the ends.. We've knocked out the wall between the kitchen and family and straighten up the other kitchen wall. knocked back the wall between the entry and dining... Not sure who lost the bet when the house was built - the store in the kitchen housed the hot water system and the linen cupboard was 25cm deep!
