Hi,
I am a lay person, so please excuse my ignorance here ...
Our drive is about 30-50cm above the pavement level. The current retaining wall (about 1m tall) is single skin (some kind of faux grey stone) and seems to have been patched up a few times. We've been told it should be replaced with a brick wall that is two bricks thick - or something along those lines as single skin isn't so strong. And we've been told that we'll have to use engineering bricks.
But they don't look very appealing (sorry if this sounds vain). Is there any way to build a retaining wall with a nicer facing brick?
Thank you.
