Hi
I recently posted in the building section about a retaining wall problem with our garden. Having now had a builder look at it, he seems to think that sloping the garden rather than replacing the wall is the way to go, but he and the surveyor (who recommended him) differ about the approach.
My main questions is whether a steepish (35 degree angle) slope would, in itself be stable without any sort of retaining wall?
And, if it was, could I plant on it so that I can screen our rather ugly garage from the view in the garden (currently it is hidden by mature and very attractive shrubs along the top of the wall (hence the wall problem!)
Thanks
Sunny
