22 feet retaining wall

Supercell · 2011-10-21 08:40:44

I'm looking to get a small garden retaining wall built 22 feet long and 3 feet tall approximately. The front of the garden slopes sharply to the ground so i just want to level the whole garden neatly. I'd like some red or brown nice bricks like below to be used Any idea how much this would cost to get built?

If the wall is to retain soil a brick wall will not least very long at all as it is not a structural wall. Once frost gets into the joints of a brick wall they will inevitably crumble and crack. You could put a 215mm blockwork wall down and face it with brick as this would be a better structure
