This retaining wall is built between the garage and the edge of the hill upon which the house is built. Have to have it so I don't back over and down the hill...;-)! The drive way will be up to the level of the first row of cinder block, and will "terrace" down the driveway to the tree on the left side of the picture with the flags around it. It will be finished in the same brick as goes on the house, both inside the wall and outside facing the street...it will add a little privacy as well as aesthetic value. We plan on lighting the driveway at the top as it is a steep and long pull up...
