Budget:
This is about the "threshold" price a wall can be built for with the proper footing, reinforcement etc. This price would include a minimal clean-up. A large back-hoe or tractor may access an 30 foot perimeter of the wall location, plus ingress egress to and from the street or alley. All materials maybe dropped with at the wall i.e. the concrete can easily be "tailgated" (dumped straight from truck to trench), masonry units can be dropped by the delivery driver within 10 feet of actual wall location and all along that same location. No vegatation or landscape considerations and all excavated dirt will be left on site. No existing fences or walls to be demolished.
Circumstance A:
This price will reflect one or possibly two of the above not being available. For instance a fork-lift can access your yard but the concrete will have to be pumped or wheeled. Still no large quantities of vegatation to interfere with the construction or excavation.
Circumstance B:
This price will include a couple more variables, perhaps all the materials must be hand carried from a street, gate or distance of 40 feet or more. Or perhaps there is alot of vegatation on oneside of the wall but the other is open to deliveries and the excavated dirt must be hauled away.
Circumstance C:
This price would reflect the typical home that has a well landscaped yard, but some space is negotiated for the excavated dirt, perhaps a plant or two will be sacraficed in favor of price (taken out by the home owner). And you expect your yard to be disturbed but more or less how it was before construction commenced minus a few concessions.
