Hello everyone,
Of course, you can find many ideas for retaining walls on Pinterest, but most of them are not from an average everyday garden. Do you have retaining walls on your property, and if so, what do they look like?
I need a slope support behind the garage about 1.5m (5 feet) high and a retaining wall for the terrace that should be about 1m (3 feet) high...

Well, those things only cost 2.20, so I’m not sure if doing it yourself is really worth it. Have you done it before? Do you have instructions?I wasn’t referring to the bricks themselves, but rather the wall built with the purchased bricks.G

It is also professionally done by a mason here.Actually, it’s quite simple. Prime the surface, apply a reinforcing render with mesh tape, then finish with your desired topcoat (probably similar to the one on the house).
Just make sure they embed the mesh properly and don’t use any cheap reinforcing render, as there are big quality differences and this material is expensive. Unfortunately, it’s common to cut corners here.

But today, we’re going to buy a mini excavator so we can actually get started.
