Hi, I have spent all day looking for someone with the same problem but all the other FAQs don’t seem to apply to me. The problem I have is that I live on a hill side up on the moors so I have a hilly garden. To the front of my house is a small stretch of land about a metre or so from the house before a rock garden that goes down about 1 metre before my sloped lawn. I want to dig out the rock garden and build a wall up. The plan is to put in a couple plants in the wall and a small waterfall in the middle of the wall into a pond. I thought about building a simple wall out of medium density blocks leaving a small cavity and then some decorative stone as a second wall, but I understand that a metre is quite high and requires a strong deep foundation and plenty of drainage. Everything I have read seems to under the assumption that I am to build the wall then fill behind it but the land is there already. What do I need to do? Oh and I have limited funds for this project. Thanks guys.
