Retaining Wall

[Diybeginner201]

Hi

Im after some advice on this retaining wall.

No idea when it was built but im guessing the 1960s. The ground the other side is essentially in line with the brick height but its looking quite weathered.

It looks like some of the mortar needs re doing but not sure if it needs anything else like drainage holes etc? Grateful for advice.

Your question needs more info, e.g. height of wall, wider image, especially the bit just out of shot that id higher, image including ground conditions in front of wall, etc.
Even then, a diagram of construction detail might be required.

Looks about 5ft tall, but would guess at least 9 inches thick.

After 50-60 years why does it need anything except repair what needs repairing?
