garden wall

Hello,

I have a question.
I still need to build a garden wall on one side of my property, it is about 27m long.
The wall should be built from 17.5 cm shuttering stones.
Last year I built one on the other side and proceeded as follows:
- Dug out 80 cm
- Poured the foundation
- 3 rows of shuttering stones and then poured them with concrete

On the other side, only one row of stones would be needed because the construction area (street) slopes a bit.
Now a friend told me the following/ that I should do it like this:
- Dig out 80 cm
- Put in 30 cm of gravel and compact it (we still have plenty of gravel)
- Then lean concrete and place the stones on it at the desired height
- Fill the stones with concrete, done!!!

The second wall doesn’t have to support anything except maybe a fence that will be anchored to it.

What do you think, could this also work? It would save quite a bit of time and I wouldn’t have to dispose of my remaining gravel ;-)

Hi,

how did you do it now? I'm also currently planning something like that. I just have to pile up the ground and the wall has to hold that....

Hello Erich ... uuhh I mean Tobi ;)

May I ask why you want to build a wall on 2 sides of your property?
Is that even "allowed" just like that (serious question)?

Hi!

I'm new here and have already introduced myself diligently :))...
I'm going through the same topic right now, but I'm only about 60 cm deep... what do you think, would that be enough to build a wall about 1.80 m high on it?
Would you put some kind of "joint" along the entire length? (25m)
The excavation is slightly more than a spade's width, would that be enough?
In addition, the concrete will be made just over 20 cm above the ground with formwork...

Would you do some kind of frost protection?

Cheers & thanks & have a nice day :))
