Retaining wall: Solid stone vs besser block with stone cladding?
Comments (5)A lot of the time they build a core filled concrete block wall then construct another stone wall against it. The concrete block wall takes the job of retaining while the stone is for looks only. It does depend on what purpose the wall is performing. For example a retaining wall higher than 600mm (usually) needs engineering by a structural engineer which is easier to achieve with core filled concrete block on footings rather than just solid stone. You never mentioned the purpose of the wall which is a vital detail as there can be numerous ways to achieve similar outcomes....See MoreDesign idea for Fireplace in the living area and the feature wall

Comments (5)How tall are you allowed to go on the boundary by your council rules? How tall do you need for shade? How tall has your neighbour agreed to for sun access to their rooms? How much maintenance are you up for? I wouldn't do a water feature. I've seen too many which look silly with the neighbours clothesline or whatever poking up above. If you don't have the space to do something around a water feature to make it look like it belongs in the landscape, don't do it. If you do have the space then you might not even need a water feature, and the maintenance that goes with it. A lush hedge, with or without added features, has so many benefits especially on the western side, but a garden bed only 1m wide is limiting so requires careful plant choice and regular pruning. If what you're thinking now is attaching something to the fence, do you want it to look faux? The best faux's in my opinion are the ones which look realistic and the faux aspect is only for reasons unrelated to appearance. Faux cladding on something which sits well in the landscape is one thing but an impossibly thin and tall stone-looking wall stuck in the middle of nothing in particular is another....See MoreSuggestions for Tv feature wall
