A retaining wall 1.5 meters high (5 feet) is to be built using large ashlar stones (shell limestone). What should the foundation look like in terms of depth and material?
These stones are very heavy; is a special foundation necessary, or would, for example, a 30 cm (12 inches) layer of crushed stone beneath be sufficient?
And is drainage required? Or is a layer of crushed stone behind the retaining wall enough?
