Hello everyone,
We are planning to build (or have built) a carport soon, but before that, we need to reinforce the slope of the light well. The light well is about 9 meters (30 feet) long and approximately 1.5 meters (5 feet) high. One of the short sides is already secured with planter rings. A foundation is already planned, but we are unsure about the wall. Can a mortared natural stone wall withstand the pressure? Or would it be better to use planter blocks instead? Is it also possible to use grass pavers? Would a foundation be needed in that case? The car weighs just under 1.5 tons (1.5 metric tonnes).
I would appreciate any advice and experiences you can share with me.
Best regards,
Annette

... which is probably more of a common term here, while "L-shaped blocks" are more widespread, and technically the correct term is "retaining wall blocks."
