Default Ugly Rock Wall - Ideas?

One for the Wiz or Ross.



One of my worksites. Client asked for the bracken/self-set trees/weeds to be cleared off and the rock exposed. As can be seen, it’s not pretty. Height is around 2100.

Responsibility is shared with the neighbour - the wall is technically on his side of the boundary but he’s OK with anything that doesn’t affect his tennis court (eg, shading or undermining). Obviously my client is looking for a solution that is affordable, durable, low maintenance, and doesn’t block his light as the house is only about 1000 of the nominal boundary.

Could a wall like this, be readily tidied and chinked (or whatever it’s called in natural stone masonry)? What kind of productivity numbers are likely - meterage per day, labour and materials cost rates?
