garden wall

Backyard stone boundary

A garden wall is a wall enclosing or dividing a garden, typically made of brick, stone, or hedging.

The term appears in garden-wall bond, a bricklaying pattern where headers appear every few courses rather than alternating with stretchers.

Garden walls provide privacy, define boundaries, and create microclimates for plants.
