Love love this black wall
Our garden wall looked awful. It is rendered blocks with 2 courses of pierced concrete. I hated it because it looked very dingy but because it would be a big job to get rid of we decided to power wash it then paint and seal it. We were pleasantly surprised when the job was done because it it looked so fresh and clean. One year on and it still looks good.
It cost very little and it was done in a couple of days.
