That's the next project at my place. Going to tackle it DIY. My house side is the exact same setup, but my other wall continues as a knee-high wall towards the street. I guess I just cut a spot out where the gate goes, slip in an H block or H/A combo. Two 8 ft gates, 6ft tall walls from back to gate, pony wall to sidewalk. I'll tell the building inspector not to worry, I've been watching Odell Complete Concrete for years!

I've started doing some concrete and block work at home. It's given me a whole new appreciation for your skill level, and just how much hard work is involved in concreting.

The way you built those columns was impressive, it almost looked like you know what you're doing.

I always learn some cool stuff with these videos. Question for you. If I want to make a small pond, do I need to use a special kind of concrete?

Dave, I might have a project for you on the west side of Phoenix if you are doing more work there.

Sounds good TY
Good job as usual Dave but I would have ran some epoxy dowels horizontally from the existing masonry into the new masonry column .... especially at the top. The new gate is wider and heavier and they will be some tension loads at the top of that new column

Looks great! Pure curiosity on my part: if you had demoed the walls before pouring the driveway expansion, could you have avoided the patches and just poured it all at once? Or was there a reason to do the walls after? Thanks!

Either way it would have been a weird patch area, but it was an after thought

My block wall has a rounded cap. How can I build on top of that? Do I need to break it off or start over? It’s currently only around 4 feet tall. I just want to go up another couple blocks/feet for privacy

You can chip it off
How about a couple horizontal rebars into the existing wall? A 7' metal gate has so much leverage.
