Garden wall removal pic added

Rapished

Hi there is a wall running the length of a house, its between the driveway and the house as seen, the issue I have is its off a narrow one way road with it being to sharp a turn to get my van down the drive,

What would be the easiest way with no large machinery, to trim the wall back so its back next to where the house starts, then I can gate it and just have it enclosed from the house.

? would once of those big circle saws make mince of it?

Here the picture

Is it your wall or the council's wall?

As to its removal:

The smallish size of the windows gave that away. LAs always put small windows in.

An electric disc wheel might be useful for trimming up the raw end after you have sledged the wall

Not necessarily, roughly 2x2m living room window...



Anyway, if you need to use machinery rather than just a hammer (and I doubt you would, though it's difficult to tell exactly what the wall is made from) I'd use a jackhammer rather than a saw. Maybe use a hammer and masonry chisel to take off the bricks/blocks/stones cleanly where you want the wall to end, as depending on the mortar you can find that when you demolish a wall it breaks through the bricks etc rather than along the joints.

No, sorry, you misunderstand me or I haven't explained myself properly. Upstairs windows - they were always on the small side in standard council housing stock - its a dead giveaway.
