We are getting ready to do this. We have 2 bushes in front of our house that are in front of a part of the house that protrudes over the lower half (we live in a tri-lvel) and no grass grows there. So we measured the area we need to cover and took it to Menard's. We were clueless, but found a great guy to help us out. We figured out how many blocks we need & he told us how to install them & the other materials we need. It's an area that's 21' x 6' so the price will be around $200 for the kind of blocks we want to use. We weren't sure how many levels we should do, so he suggested buying 3 blocks & taking them home to play with them. Soooooooo glad we did this! We thought we would go 3 levels high but 2 is perfect!! I will try & remember to post pics once we do it.
Good luck to you!
There's a video and article at thisoldhouse.com on building your own retaining wall. Here's the link:
