What is a Garden Wall?
The structures that separate the gardens from other areas are called garden walls. Its construction is not subject to a license; however, wall height is subject to planned and unplanned space regulations. Technically, it is known as the enclosing wall and it is used to mean a structure that has no bearing feature and is built for the purpose of delineating the boundary. This is the difference with a retaining wall. It is also thinner and shorter than the retaining wall. However, the garden wall can also function as a retaining wall.
These situations are determined according to the zoning regulations. In the zoning regulations, information specific to the garden wall is also given.
Garden wall procedures are generally as follows:
- The height of the garden walls cannot exceed 0.5 meters on the road side and 2 meters on the back, starting from the natural or leveled ground. In addition, railings with a maximum height of 1 meter can be built on them.
- Administrative units are authorized to evaluate the shape of places with excessive slope and danger.
- Buildings such as schools, prisons, places of worship, hospitals, embassies are not subject to these rules.
