Hey guys,
I read several replies about a cement bag retaining wall and have a question. I'm thinking of using cement bags to form a short wall but have a question. My problem is this: My neighbor has a low area that borders my yard and during heavy rain, his water seeps into our yard. I would like to place a retaining wall made from cement bags but I read somewhere that water will flow between the bags - I need a tight fit as once water gets to my side, it will stay there awhile. I'm looking at a property line that horizontally slopes to its deepest point in the center of the 100 foot property line with water ranging in depth from a few inches to about 12 " at the deepest point, and total length of about 100 feet. Most of the 100 feet is under 6" of water and maybe 15' is from 10" to 12" if this makes any sense. Any suggestions about using cement bags to form a somewhat water proof retaining wall? Thanks,
