ᐅ Enhancing a Garden Wall Without Drilling (Cladding)

Hello,

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.

The thing will fall apart after the first winter!

I’m just wondering which is worse: this quickly thrown-up wall or a welded wire fence with those plastic strips. *scratches head* With a bit of luck, the next storm will take down both. Then something proper can be built.

That would be now

To be honest, based on the photos, I have little suspicion that it is finished as is – and I recommend a clarification method called "conversation."

How do you feel about the neighbor?
Honestly, I think the wall is a real eyesore, hardly worse in terms of ugliness.
Did he discuss this with you?
If not, the wall is probably your least problem in the long run.
Plant a hedge in front of it?

That still needs to be made weatherproof, right? Otherwise, I would put up a wire fence and plant evergreen climbing plants on it.

What about the legal situation? I would like to install a privacy screen.
The neighbor’s ground is now about 1 meter (3 feet) above my property because they have built it up to the top.

So the privacy screen should be at least 2.5 meters (8 feet) high, right?

And it should be more stable than the wall, which I don’t trust.

A natural privacy screen would be my preference as well, but it takes a few years to become dense. I will also plant some greenery.
Otherwise, we have a lot of granite and sandstone!
