retaining wall

16 years ago

I'm afraid I might be in need of a retaining wall around my pool area. I recall someone here has had significant experience with hardscape installation in the past. Was it vroomp or someone else?

The whole process seems - scarey! I don't know where to begin or what to ask in determining what really needs to be done versus what I think needs to be done. Any direction to get me started would be greatly appreciated.

Let's see if I can figure out how to post a picture. First the backside. I can't figure out how you would get a good footing for a wall on this slope, the bottom half is filled in with rocks.

Here is a link that might be useful: wall view album
