I've seen worse mate, never been a fan of fancy Brickwork anyway, lots of companies seem to throw curved walls and Paving around to give "style" especially on Driveways, unless it's done well it always looks a bit overcooked to me.
By the way, you haven't changed your mind about the job have you? Getting really busy now.

thought so :;):

I would have preferred to see a straight line or even steps,but it looks to me like the client has asked for the wall to follow the neighbours garden line

every day i deal with clients wanting outlandish requests,its a juggling game between
what they want,what is right, and how much?

bearing in mind we have to keep 5 blokes working full tilt to try and earn a fiver

I could take photies of some truly hideous brickwork round luton,but whats the point?

IMHO
