A brick enclosure is actually something for eternity. However, the weather conditions are also affecting this structure. The plaster can flake off, the joints are washed out and the wall exudes a morbid charm at best. We have great ideas on how you can easily beautify the aging garden wall.

Cladding an old wall is one way to give it a new look

plaster the wall again

Plastering a wall is not difficult at all. To do this, you must first remove dust and dirt from the masonry. This works very well with a high-pressure cleaner (€119.90) or water and a brush.

Then proceed as follows:

  • Apply a primer that is tailored to the material of the wall.
  • Mix the base plaster according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Poke with the trowel and smooth with the float.
  • When everything is completely dry, you can apply a decorative plaster of your choice.
  • If desired, you can now embellish the garden wall with a coat of paint.

Make ailing walls disappear behind a cladding

If you cover the wall with glass fiber reinforced plastic panels, renovation work is a thing of the past. This modern material is available in many beautiful looks. It blends attractively into the natural environment, is easy to process and can hardly be distinguished from natural materials.

Cladding the garden wall with natural stone

Natural stone walls are very trendy. If you clad the aging concrete wall with natural stone, it gets a completely new, very elegant look. It cannot be seen that you have only applied a thin layer of stone.

Due to the large number of stone variants, you can coordinate the wall wonderfully with your garden design. Fixing with mortar is recommended, as rear ventilation can be neglected with a garden wall.

  • In the first step, the masonry is freed from dust and dirt.
  • The natural stones are laid out on the floor in order to achieve the most harmonious overall impression possible.
  • Prime according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Apply the mortar and press in the flagstones.
  • Immediately pick up excess material with a trowel.

tips

If you want a very natural look for the garden wall, you can also provide it with wood paneling. Larch is particularly attractive because this wood takes on a beautiful silver-grey patina over time.
