So you want to build an almost 6 m long and 20 cm wide garage-high dirt channel between the house and the garage, what is supposed to happen there with wind and weather, and when is the garage supposed to come at all? Let's calculate 8 cm finished garage wall (so 16 cm on both sides) plus 20 cm gap, that makes a total of 36 cm. If you build the garage out of sand-lime brick (15 cm), then the total is only 30 cm, you can build to measure and the dirt channel is gone; you still have a symbolic handful of extra centimeters of clear width on top.
