Biker913016 Feb 2018 10:14Hello,
My neighbor has built this "lovely" garden wall on his property, right next to our nice garden.
Do you have any tips on how I could improve its appearance without drilling into it?
At the bottom, gravel is already spilling out from the foundation, and the drainage stones are already lying on my property!
The gap between the wall and my flower bed belongs to me, and I could install ground anchors like the ones shown in one of the pictures.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Personally, I don’t see the point of building one wall in front of another. My neighbor and I also built a similar wall. Admittedly, it looks much better, but my neighbor just painted his side. That works for him.
My side is not finished yet and will only stick out about 20-30cm (8-12 inches) above the ground in the end. I’ll either put on facing bricks or just paint it as well.
If you don’t want or aren’t allowed to install facing bricks (although I’m not sure if your neighbor can forbid you from doing so), I would suggest setting up wooden partition walls. You could hang some climbing plants on them and that would be it.
It’s probably not what you originally imagined, but something needs to be done there.
What I don’t understand is why the foundation, or the old wall, is hollow on your side?

I don’t understand the foundation part either; it’s not even below the frost line.
It’s also not an old wall. Here, three foundations that are not connected to each other were poured on gravel. The foundation extends about 1 meter (3 feet) onto the neighboring property.
However, the wall blocks are firmly connected across the three foundations.
I don’t see the point in adding cladding, as I believe the wall will eventually crack. Also, I can’t plaster the foundation.
And there is still the cavity right at the front.
I was thinking of installing a wooden privacy screen in front of the wall, but I’m not sure if it will hold up.
I don’t want to lose too much space.

Mastermind16 Feb 2018 16:45Double wire mesh fence in the most basic version, with plastic-coated wire material applied in individual layers depending on color preference... This would be my favorite option – no painting, low assembly effort, cost-effective, durable...
The fence panels are available from different manufacturers in lengths of 2 to 2.5 meters (6.6 to 8.2 feet). The height always increases in steps of 20 cm (8 inches)...
Above all, you can disassemble the panels again if the wall ever gets damaged – since it doesn’t look very durable right now.
