How do I install a low retaining wall?

I have landscape timbers along my driveway as a low retaining wall. I would like to remove the rotting timbers and replace them with landscape blocks, probably two high. I'm not sure how to do it. Please help!!!

Check out videos on you tube or the block manufacturer website for ideas. If you are in an area where the ground freezes, you may need to construct a base below the frost line to prevent heaving.
Proper drainage behind the wall is essential to keep it from pushing forward and falling down . Also ,as mentioned , do your homework about walls in locations where frost is an issue .
some landscape blocks have little 'knobs' on one side, and divots on the other where they 'lock' together ... above info is good about drainage and freeze line ...
