Ground and access
Is a garden wall holding soil or just edging a bed?
Do not decide from the wall’s height or appearance alone. Explain whether ground levels differ across it and what sits nearby. A feature that looks decorative may have a retaining or supporting role that changes the removal assessment.

Separate the decisions
Photographs of the broader setting can be useful during follow-up, but they do not establish stability. If the wall affects a slope, boundary or retained structure, qualified review may be needed. Do not start taking blocks away to see whether the soil stays in place.
What to explain next
Describe the planned final ground arrangement and identify who is designing it. TrueNorth can assess removal within a defined scope, but this enquiry does not include a promise to redesign retaining works. Keep the existing wall in place until the appropriate plan is confirmed.

An example, not a completed job
Put the uncertainty into words
“We want to remove the wall beside the patio, but the garden is higher behind it. We need its retaining role and the replacement ground arrangement reviewed first.”
- Are ground levels different on each side?
- What lies above or beside the wall?
- Who confirms the final ground-support plan?
