I'm looking to take down a wall that separates my back door patio from the pool area. I'd like to create a larger outdoor space, but the concrete around the pool is raised compared to my current patio. It looks like the wall is about level with the second row of bricks from the bottom. I'm considering keeping the bottom two solid rows as a step up to the pool while also maintaining the elevation. Is it feasible to just remove this wall, or do I need to demolish the entire thing and replace it with a new retaining wall/step?

If you're ready to break it down, a sledgehammer is definitely a tool you'll want in your hands! Just make sure you're checking for any utilities that might run through the wall before you start swinging. It could really open up that space for you and make it so much more enjoyable!
Fingers crossed that's the best solution! Sounds like you really want to get that wall down.
