Looking at differenct options to build a Garge on a slope.
Garage is 24'x20. Has anyone ever used or would recommend
using large precast concrete block approx 4mt each to build a retaining wall approx 4' in height. Any special details. Using any Geogrids? What kind of drainage ? Was then going to fill and pour a slab only instead of a 4' frost wall.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks a Lot:cool:

What you are suggesting is beyond a garden wall setup at 4-feet high. To support the surcharge load from cars in the garage requires design by a structural engineer.
