Garden is in complete mess

[T Jed]

Hi my garden has slope and there is no where to play for the kids. So I decided to sort it out. I am building a wall (not the trump wall!) and this would allow me to have garden at two different levels. I will fill one side of the wall with something (any advice welcome).

It has taken me 3 moths to dig and today finally I got the concrete poured in for foundations. I am thinking of using blocks to build the wall which is ~1m from foundation. Are the dense concrete blocks best option?

thank you for your help.

How is having a wall (rather than a slope) better for small children or better in any case?

We used red class b engineers for this retainer backed up with 7n dense solid 100mm blocks. We used a solid red header (laid flat) on top.

Who wants to play football on a slope?

Have you ever seen your sprogs running for a ball look out for a 12" drop over a dwarf wall?

No, nor me.
