Garden wall cost?
Discussion
SIL, has just done a very similar job (remove conifers and build a wall 3/4ft high with pillars in at set gaps)
Not sure on length but he d priced it tight as it was his best mates neighbour.
Upon digging the footings out, roots had grown round the gas pipe, he thought he cut them all but sadly he hadn't and when he pulled it out he split the gas pipe.
but im sure he d priced that at 5/6 grand, was a fair wall in length to be fair.

I've just had a quote for something rather simple, my driveway between me and my neighbour has paving flags on their side and i asked for a price to have them removed and a wall built,
its 13 n half foot long and at the deepest pain 2 n half foot in height tapering off to nothing, with 2 five foot pillars at each side of the drive,
builder quoted me 600 bricks and £1850 and I've got to be honest i thought that was expensive, i was told to expect to pay around £1,200

Am having my party wall fully rebuilt at the moment.
Total bricks needed came in at 2500.
Builder had a Transit tipper so taking away old bricks to hardcore site saved approx 4 skips@ £225 a throw
Overall, rebuild is costing £6.5k.
The builder will get charged at the tip to dispose it. Total bricks needed came in at 2500.

My rubbish collector gets charged £170/ton at the council tip

Depends really, I would say you'd be lucky to get it done for £1,200 tbh, off the top of my head there's getting on for ~£1k in materials if you add in a skip, digger and concrete for the foundations it will need.
Yeah so I'm realising I didn't think walls were so expensive, I was given a quote of 1490 plus vat by another, I asked if he was interested in cash and knock the vat off but never heard back from himdirty boy said:
This is the unsightly hedge in question. The issue I have, is that it's mostly dead nearer the house. I'm not sure how the neighbour would react, but if he didn't have to pay, I guess he'd say yes.
Could just be me but that hedge looks very nice and far more appealing than a brick wallGassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
