Hello,
a slope is going to be retained by a wall. The wall will be a maximum of 80 cm (31 inches) high at its tallest point. (Hollow concrete blocks filled with concrete).
Would you always recommend a gravel layer in the foundation as the first layer, or simply pour a strip footing about 20 cm (8 inches) deep directly into the ground?
Thank you
