How much does building a garden wall cost?

The average cost of building a garden wall is $400 to $1,200. The price depends on the materials, height, length, and thickness.

If you love gardening, these walls can improve the look of your garden. Garden walls are low walls that line a landscape feature. They're commonly about 18-24 inches in height and divide. They also emphasise landscape elements to provide visual interest. 

Garden walls are different from retaining walls, which are usually 3 feet or higher. Retaining walls are strong structures built to stabilise hills, slopes, or mounds of earth. Thus, they should adhere to strict construction standards and might require engineering and civic approval.

Factors affecting garden wall costs

Brick material

If you're looking for the cheapest way to build a garden wall, choose from these different brick materials:

Wall size

The size of the wall will determine the cost of the garden wall project. Your garden wall's linear feat, height, and allowance for architectural roadblocks will increase its value.

Labour fees

The time frame for the project usually ranges between 1 to 4 days for a standard garden size of 15 metres. Tradespeople usually charge around $55 per hour.

Waste disposal

If you need to excavate an old wall or remove a fence, you might incur additional waste disposal costs or skip hire fees. You can do it yourself, but excavating might take too much time and effort without ample experience.

Garden wall quotes from Taskers

If your garden wall project is simple, you can hire a labourer, which is cheaper. Their skill and experience, however, could vary. On the other hand, a bricklayer is experienced in masonry and will therefore be more expensive. You can also ask a professional to design a landscape for your garden.

Depending on the size and thickness of your garden wall and the material you want, garden walls cost around $83 to $600.
