Brickwork Q w/pics

If I have managed this interweb thingy, there should be 5 pictures here: This is the driveway to the garage, and on the LH side, the block paved drive which provides level access to the house. As can be seen, because of the drop between drive and garage, there is (was, really :() a small brick wall separating the two. Which is fucked, basically - as can be seen by the rather casual arrangements of bricks. This is mirrored by a smaller wall the other side (in pics) which is also breaking up. Assuming that it was built into a proper foundation of hardcore so that there is a layer of solid bricks to build onto again, how would the experts of uk.d-i-y class this in terms of difficulty ? Given that bricklaying is probably my worst skill :) Alternatively, without being held to it, what would folks here suggest is a decent-ish quote for a good brickie to do the job ? Either in cost, or hours. I have a feeling that it's no more than a days work. Alternatively (again) the eagle eyed may notice that the drive to the garage is also fucked. Ideally it should be block paved like the LH drive. With this knowledge is it best the two jobs of work are combined (i.e. we need to find a massive lump sum) or could the wall be repaired and the drive attended to next year ? Just for the record, I did have an idea of banging pieces of wood against the sides of the wall, ordering a couple of yards of concrete, pouring it in and having a less pretty, but more solid wall. Are there any reasons NOT to do this :)

I keep telling people Imgur but they persist with that annoying dropbox. on the receiving end it always starts with ad to join instead of just showing picture
