How do I knock down a brick wall?

How do I knock down a brick wall?

  • I have the remnants of a 3 foot high brick wall dividing my back patio that needs to come down. It is already half gone and I just want to take down the left overs. any suggestions how to do it cheaply? It is no longer is part of anything, just standing by itself getting in my way.

  • Answer:

    I would use a sledge hammer but if some are loose, all you have to do is pick it off. You could use a regular hammer too and a crow bar, or you could use a pick ax. Good luck, I hope you have the muscles for it. It can build you new ones. Use the left over bricks to edge your drive way or other concrete work. It looks great. Even your floor beds. The one nearest the floor bed should stand up, and then lay one down in front of it. That way when you mow, run the mower on the one you layed down and you will not have to do any trimming.

If you are going to remove it yourself I suggest using a sledge hammer on it, BUT first cover it with an old blanket so that when you hit it you are not hit with the shards of brick. Brick in the eye is a bad bad deal. Cover with the blanket, bang away, uncover and remove chunks, recover and start hitting it again.

my young cousin took care of mine while learning to drive, although i would not recommend this seeing as its expensive, although highly entertaining all the same. pay a day labourer to use a sledge hammer and knock it down shouldn't take more than a couple of hours at most.
