I'm currently trying to work out whether it would be better (read cheaper and easier) to build the wall fromġ)Bricks (I would look at a double skin as by the time I'm at the top of the garden the wall height will be over 18 inches which I understand is really the max a single skin wall should go to), but the Mrs doesn't really want any coping on the top of the wall that she'd catch herself on, so it would prob be topped off by on edge bricks.Ģ) Railway Sleepers - Laid on either widest side, so looking at common sizes, by the time I get to the back of the garden, they'll be about 6 sleepers high, so I'll need some vertical retaining posts. So at the front of the garden the wall height would only be say 6 inches high, but by the time you get to the back it'd be about 22inches or so high. I'll prob take about 4 inches from the flower bed for extra path width, and obviously the wall will take some width from the flower bed. Thereby giving a flat(er) flower bed between wall and fence, and a very hard edge between path and flower bed. So what I want to do is put in a retaining wall, which will step up in height as it goes down the garden between the path and flower bed. The fence sits on top of concrete gravel boards, so I have some height to play with and not worry about having rotting fence panels. At the front of the garden, the flower bed raises only a couple of inches between the path and the fence but by the time you reach the back of the garden there is about 18 inches between path height and bottom of the fence across the flower bed (path is always lower than the fence base). ![]() My garden is about 24 feet from front to back, over which is raises about a 18-24 inches (not that much really).

It will take some time and care to get there but a girl can dream right? Complete with river rock, an assortment of potted herbs and flowers around the perimeter. ![]() Eventually I have dreams of a white picket perimeter fence with an arched entryway.
