I think it is a garden spider...

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE A FEMALE BANANA SPIDER IN YOUR YARD!

EDIT: "Like other members of Argiope they are considered harmless to humans."

No way, man! Here's your golden silk orb weaver.

It looks like what you have there are called "bricks".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick

They have quite a history and some houses are actually made out of them. But yours are probably just a facade.
