Building a brick wall around a bend

Whether you’re looking to brick a wall around your curved driveway, front garden or rear yard, there are a few top tips you need to know before placing the bricks. You need a flat, even surface that will make construction and maintenance much easier. Measure the area you’d like your wall to cover, and use that to calculate how many bricks and how much mortar you’ll need. If you know the total wall length and height, you can use the length and height of the bricks to figure this out. Since your wall will be curved, you’ll need to cut bricks when you reach the curved areas. This can be accomplished using a masonry saw. Cutting bricks is no easy task and you do have to plan every subtle curve very carefully, so take your time, think about how you’re going to accomplish it and achieve it!
