Building a retaining wall in front of house

8 years ago

Hello,

I build a retaining wall, and used a level to ensure that the baseline brick was gorunded even with the gravel.

I glued the third brick base to the second, and have already glued the toppers with construction adhesive.

The retaining wall is elevated higher on the left side and if you view the image below, you can see the slope from left to right.

I'm not sure how to fix this now that I've glued this up. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I don't think there is a solution other than taking the wall apart. If it were me, I would Google or call the manufacturer for the adhesive and find out how to take the wall apart. Seems like something went wrong in the leveling process, using a longer level will catch a slight change in grade that would be missed with a short level.

If you can insert the photo into the post you may get help with the overall plan. You may not need a retaining wall at all!

It looks like the wall is angled. Have you checked the top for level? With a level? As the wall is introducing a 3rd material (in addition to the brick and stone of the house) that is not very sympatico with the others, you might want to plant something that covers it up.
