Hi looking for advice please

 

landscape building a curved wall with piers outside to go around a patio

 

agreed width is 400mm as it will be used to sit on also with some flat coping stones.

 

my plan was a half-brick skin either side with a 200mm void. 
 

could I use brick ties to hang over into the cavity and infill with a dry mix of concrete - is this too much, what would be your advice please

 

also does the wall have to be built into the piers so the bricks overlap into the piers and would I need to use ties or could the piers be freestanding with ties and tie the wall into the piers?

 

thanks In advance

If its not a retaining wall I don't think you need infill or piers. If it is a retaining wall how high is the earth its holding back?

 

Are the piers going to be on one side of the wall or symmetrical/both sides? Just the ends?

That's how it would normally be done. Some ideas..
