ᐅ Building a Retaining Wall in the Garden: Formwork Blocks or L-Shaped Blocks?

In the garden, we need to build a retaining wall along 20 meters (65.6 feet). It will have a height of 1-1.2 meters (3.3-3.9 feet) and must hold back the soil on the property. It will only be supporting the garden. No road or building needs to be supported.
1) Which type of wall is more suitable? What are the advantages and disadvantages of a retaining wall with L-shaped blocks versus formwork blocks that are filled with concrete?
2) How should the foundation be prepared? Should it be gravel or a strip concrete foundation (how deep)?
3) What is the approximate cost per linear meter? Does anyone have relatively recent experience?

The topic of the drainage application was briefly mentioned without going into detail. In our building area, a similar case occurred where the lower property owner, who built into the hillside, is complaining about significant water discharge and a wet, soggy garden.I can’t understand how BiffBiff’s downstream neighbor came up with the brilliant idea of applying engineering solutions without thinking it through. Anyone who, like me, attended school before Pisa would instinctively consider the risk of tapping into groundwater layers when contemplating digging down 2 meters (6.6 feet). But well—since the original poster has refused any constructive questions, this has become a popcorn thread anyway. What’s surprising is that these two gentlemen—apparently brothers in spirit—still each want to build the wall themselves (the original poster aiming to build their third* meter first, which I find the funniest part). *) since their shared ideal seems to be to construct the retaining wall as close as possible to the common boundary

How do you come to the narrow idea that I’m building my wall first? Unfortunately, you have a misconception that is not correct.
I wonder why you are appearing in this thread. Just to provoke and insult? Unfortunately not qualities of an elephant. Then leave them out as well.

Why didn’t you address the issue together? Work on the border of a slope always affects the neighboring property. It wasn’t possible timewise.

Honestly... a terraced garden... how can you seriously plan to completely level out the terrain by cutting and filling, and then build a 3-meter (10 feet) high wall?
Are you for real? No one is planning a 3-meter (10 feet) high wall. We’re not in Berlin...
