Hello everyone,
I have a concrete wall in the garden (see picture), about 20 cm (8 inches) wide and between 20 and 40 cm (8 and 16 inches) high. There used to be a fence here, but since I now own the properties on both sides, it became unnecessary.
Now I’m wondering if there are ways to remove it with standard DIY tools, even if only partially (where it’s most inconvenient) to lawn level.
Where the gravel is visible, a garage will be built soon, which also has an exit door facing the wall, so it’s in the way there as well.
How would you approach this?
My first idea was to cut horizontally as deep as possible on both sides with an angle grinder and then drive wedges in, hoping it will give way...
Regards

If a sledgehammer isn’t enough, you can rent a 30 kg (66 lbs) demolition hammer, for example at Obi, for less than €100 for one day including a chisel. With that tool (best used by two people), you can break things down in 2–3 hours. It’s fun—don’t forget hearing protection.
