concrete Path to side and back of a garage, also a small, wall say 2-3 bricks high down the side, to use as a edge for raised lawn

it wont be walked on very much if ever the path, just to tidy the area up, old path all broken up

about 9 m total length


was thinking of best method to do it, remove all old path, old breeze blocks, that is the edge now

min type 1 stone?, and min thickness of concrete? and min base for wall? would normal bricks be OK, as its against soil or engineering bricks?

build wall, then do the path, lay a timber along the edge of wall to get the level? and along garage to get the level, remove timbers, then fill the gaps were timbers were?

Wall foundation, assuming it's going to be 225mm bwk needs to be 450x150mm

Path needs min 100mm sub-base, then DPM then 100mm C20 or above concrete

Bricks really ought to be eng quality or have good frost resistance (FL)
