Price For Building Garden Wall

AleoN

Hi
Anyone any idea on the approx. cost of building front garden wall - nothing fancy - about 4 blocks high with cappings and plastered on the outside.

Garden front is about 30 Mtrs long, so about 2 or 3 small piers along the length. Walls to be splayed inwards for 1.5 Mtrs at angle of 45 degrees to piers for gates.
Kerry area by the way.
Thanks in advance.

What kind of blocks? 9 inch solids? Is the job straightforward? ie, not on a slope, etc?

Blocklayers are paid by the block so if you can calculate how many you are using?
It's not cheap this way so if you can find someone to do a weeks work or whatever and pay them by day, etc, would be better.

9 inch blocks - straightforward job, no slope or anything like that.
Was quoted €5,500 for the job from a builder which i thought was a bit excessive?

How much do blocklayers charge per block?

I think blocklayers charge about €1-70 to €1-90 per block to lay depending on the area. Open to correction on this.
