Hi,
I would like remove some banked earth in the garden and then I need to build a wall to hold back the earth but Im not sure how deep the footings need to be and whether I should go for single brick or breeze block construction?
Also how long will I have to get the wall up before the earth starts crumbling\giving way ?
....im assuming I build the wall a little forward and then backfill with small aggregate when the mortar has set - is this correct ?
The depth of the earth will be appx 3ft above ground level .
thanks
