Hi
I'm creating a step into a sloped garden and I'm after some advice.
As you can see from the photos I have a fence down two sides of the garden, and the mounds of earth taken from the bottom (the hardcored bit) is to be spread along the rest of the garden to create a flatter area.
However, this will mean that there could be a lot of earth resting against the fence, which I didn't want to happen. I was thinking of digging a small channel along side the fences, say 6inces to a foot wide, and then put in place some sort of small retainer.
I don't think it would take much but can someone suggest what material to use?
At the highest point I think it would be around 6-10 inches, nothing more.
Just realised I've no idea how to put an image in here. Any advice?
Many thanks
