My backyard slopes at a pretty large angle but I have a Crape Myrtle tree that I really want to re-build a retaining wall around. I built one a while back but it was unstable and the soil/sand mixture I used to built up the lower part (unsuprisingly) did not stand up very long. The bricks separated and it looks like crap now.
My thought this time was dig deeper but there are what seems like integral roots just below the surface. How should I go about doing this? Any way to functionally build up the lower section in a way that will last through time & weather?
Here are some pictures from the first time I did the wall so you can see the slope (and how I would ultimately like it to look). Also, I know now not to fill-in with soil and have removed all of that.
Thanks!
