As others have suggested, use the 3,4,5 rule (it's what the builders of the
pyramids in Egypt did).
If the houses are 20 meters apart, you can use 15, 20, 25 meter
measurements.
However there's one difficulty you may encounter. The wall may be square to
one house and crooked as a dog's hind leg at the other.
I recommend bushes.

Weird.... I thought the pyramids pre-date Pythagoras by 1 or 2 millennia?
