Hoping rjp444us sees this...
I plan on putting a retaining wall in to step down from our concrete driveway to a level spot for our camper. It should be pretty straightforward, about 50 feet in length tapering from zero to about 2 feet of height. I will use concrete retaining wall blocks (the decorative ones).
The only difficulty I can foresee is that I want the top of the wall to end up right at the edge of the existing concrete with some sort of cap course level with, and adjacent to, the concrete. I can envision doing all the math and layout to make it happen but are there real world variations I need to take into account? Drainage concerns with rain water coming off the concrete going behind the wall? Am I making too big a deal out of this?
Thanks for any and all help /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
