I'm looking for someone to build a boundary wall in front of my house. We do have walls in front but it needs to be taken down to build the new wall. Wall specifications: > 2-2.5m high. >Double brick wall. >Right side of the gate is the wall 13m in length and the left side is 1m in length. We do not have an idee how we want the wall to look but we are in the proses of searching for something.

I want to build a boundary wall in front of my garage and carport, I'm not sure how big the space is, but it cannot be more than 15 meters using a facebrick that is in line with what is used in the complex. there will be a gate to the garage and i will decide if i need a gate in front of the carport. the garage and the carport are side by side. The other 3 sides of the house already have walls, it is just the front.
