Standard 17x6 retaining wall block appropriate?
needing to put up a retaining wall so I can stop erosion near driveway. old wall was higher up small hillside and was made of railroad ties. I am going to build mine closer to the bottom of a 5ish foot hill and backfill.
bottom of hill goes to a drainage ditch that can get pretty full of water during a hard rain. the water can be pretty forceful. this only happens maybe once every other year.
my question is would those kinds of blocks that you'd get from home depot or lowes hold with the force of that water? or should I be looking into just a standard mortar and concrete block wall?
