Hello
I need to build a retaining wall between a new raised lawn and a large garden shed. The wall will be 2 feet high and 20 feet long and I was looking for any advice on doing this?
I haven’t decided on which material to use, I’m open to the idea of breeze block, brick, sleepers, gabion, anything really. My main queries are around the following areas…
How do I ensure the pressure from the new raised lawn doesn’t push the retaining wall over?
Do I need to include some sort of damp proofing between the wall and soil of the raised lawn?
Do I need to worry about drainage from the lawn? (The retaining lawn is only alongside one edge of the square lawn)
A large shed is already in position approximately 18 inches from the lower side of where the wall will be built.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted
Regards
