Hi, hope someone can help me as I'm really stuck! Our garden is higher than our neightbour's, so our soil is up against his garage to a depth of 3 to 4 feet and the wall is getting damp. We need to do something to prevent this, I've arranged to have a ditch dug out so that we can paint the wall with waterproofing paint such as Dryseal or Stormguard, but then he says if the soil goes back in it won't work. He's suggested a gap and a retaining wall, but I can't see how we can do this without digging out half the garden to enable the builders to get in to build a wall as it's quite deep! Can anyone advise if having soil or drainage materials such as gravel against the Dryseal would work or not, or recommend any way of building a retaining barrier without digging half the garden up! Thank you so much.
