Hello

I have finally arrived in the garden. Now I need a retaining wall at the entrance. Has anyone done something like this before? Will it hold if I use concrete formwork blocks and proper reinforcement?

In general: Yes and no
Do you have stable ground where you want to build this structure? There will be quite a bit of weight and mass with a height of 2.25m (7.4 ft). In principle, the concrete formwork blocks alone are sufficient (at least in our neighborhood) without additional reinforcement and up to a height of 2 meters (6.6 ft). Just going by intuition, I would say: If you include reinforcement, you shouldn't have any problems.
