Prefab Retaining Wall How to build a retaining wall flat against a sloping driveway? I'll try to explain it better than I can. My garden that extends off an area for turning my entrance at the driveway. The lawn around the garden slopes away from the driveway. The garden itself extends from approximately 35 m against the driveway. The present garden is old and outdated, but I like having a garden there. So, I keep the general impression of the garden, but its update, starting with a new retaining wall. I am using the dry battery, precast 4x12 "and 2x12 blocks" caps that you can buy at Home Depot. My problem is that along the surface 35 that intersect the garden and driveway, the driveway slope of about 4-5. "Given a level and do step-ups/downs wall, I can not the ends of the wall flush against the surface goes to the two intersections. Do I voluntarily wall is not level and try to ride the same as the path? It seems very difficult and the construction of a non-level wall appears to be a terrible idea. However, the two ends will be flush against edge of the area and 4 inches in diameter 35 feet, I do not think it will be visible to the eye. Another option is I considered bookending the wall with a decorative element to hide the wall and driveway do not align? Other ideas, options, suggestions? Thanks. Do not install the wall level to be terrible! Although it would be easy to do since I have seen many incompetent contractors to install them on the level. When you install the wall properly and the level of the slight difference in the level of both ends of the wall will not be noticeable. So, is your best option. u ok because that was difficult to understand. if u mean that the garden will be located between the entrance and the wall then yes I agree that maybe nobody will notice is uneven. but at the same time, it seems pointless to let it be unequal in particular because probably you will notice at least.
