This is Day 1 of building a new brick wall for the front garden and extending the driveway.

The client drove their car into the old wall and it was also pretty knackered and needed knocking down anyway & they also wanted to take the plants out and extend the driveway to give themselves so extra room.

Day 1 consisted of smashing the wall down and digging EVERYTHING OUT! Then laying the concrete foundations for the new wall to sit on.

Stay tuned for updates over the next few Days!!
