Hi
I have recently had a porch built and now need to look at re landscaping the front of my house which is set over a metre above pavement level some 5-6 metres back.
Currently it is semi held with a low retaining wall and a real slope of garden. I want to retain at the top to ensure my porch doesn't go anywhere and then build different levels into the sloped garden.
Will using blocks be ok for the retainer and then use normal bricks to face it with? Tied in of course.
What would be the best blocks to use and how best laid?
Will build on a concrete footing etc at 1ft below ground level.
How best to incorporate drainage into both types of walling?
Hope you can assist, thanks
