Will climbers damage a wall?

I would love to grow Virgina Creeper or Boston Ivy on my Garage wall, but I am reading on some web sites that they may damage the wall itself, seems this is more the case for Boston Ivy....Other sites then seem to contradict this.Have u experienced this..? thanks

climbers in containers

Hi Gerry, I would like to grow some climbers (Boston Ivy or Virgina Creeper with Varigated Ivy ) to climb up a trelis and cover the front of a Garage wall.I will need to grow these in a timber rectangular box I intend to make.... question is... how deep would the box need to be for these climbers, I am thinking 18" deep by about 12" wide....would that be big enough to support these climbers ?... thanks !!

59 I have read your answer how to get rid of moss, but I have more questions. My garden had lots of trees around it but they have been cut down, so now i need to deal with the ever growing problem of moss:

1. Do i need to areate or scarify the lawn beforehand?

2. Is it a good time to scarify the lawn now or have i left it just that bit late?

Thanks for the advice,

Lorraine
