How ?
How do I make a retaining wall. We live in a new house that was built after a fire took our home. The ground beneath it was raised up to about 2-3 feet, so we have quite a drop on one side. That side is also where we have some fruit trees. We need a wall or something to retain the ground , as well as give a beautiful landscape to the area. Perhaps planting some flowers and shrubs too. I can use so professional help with this project. our front yard need some help too!

We had a very large retaining wall next to our home when we bought it. It was built wrong, so it started to fall, and we had to have it rebuilt! It was 100 ft long and 8 foot tall. What I learned in the process was always make sure the wall is built leaning towards the dirt, not straight up and down. Also make sure there are numerous drain pipes along the bottom to allow water out. It also needs a good concrete foundation. If it has these structural points, it will be sturdy and last!
