My wife and I are ready to hire a landscaper for our backyard. We live in an attached house in Greenpoint that is 12 feet wide; the yard, too, is 12 feet wide by 30 feet long. Our desire was to have brick walls surround the yard and brick pavers on the ground. But someone told us that the brick walls would block a beautiful evening breeze we get in the summer time that comes into our house through the rear windows. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this? I just don’t see 6-foot-high walls of any kind blocking a breeze, but this person seemed certain of it. Thank you.
