I'm going to put up a 1.2m high by 7.5m long wall at the back of the
garden. I'm going to use regular-sized house brick for the face of the
wall. I've not chose the brick style yet.


I was thinking about putting brick lights in every so often.


Anyone any creative ideas so I don't end up with a boring wall? Thanks..


Crenellation? A change in the brick-laying pattern every so often?
Interesting coping stones? 5 or 6 course higher-than-the-rest 'tower'
here and there along the length?


Also, I guess you could argue that I should be arranging for climbing
plants to go in front of the wall.


Of course we would - we're gardeners. Lots of plants, over the wall,
in front of the wall, forget the fancy work just plant it so you don't
see the wall when everything is growing.
