Ok folks,
Need to build a retaining wall at the bottom of my garden 5m wide by 1.8m high and would like to know if my plan is suitable.
Founds going to be dug down to solid undisturbed soil of 250mm thick concrete, 750mm wide.
7n concrete block layed flat 2 blocks deep at the base for about a third of the height and then reducing thickness to a single block on flat for the top third.
Perforated pipe layed in gravel behind wall at base for drainage.
Is this going to be sufficient?
The wall will be returned at the ends with steps on one side. What is the best way to return the footings? Do I just dig the trench at a right angle into the bank
