I am thinking about building some retaining walls out of cinderblock in my yard. I'll cover them in slate or flagstone when I get the money together. I was looking at cinderblocks and noticed that there are these blocks that are half as wide and half the price. I don't plan on building taller than 4 or 5 blocks high MAX. I also like that these require a smaller footprint. So what do you guys think? Could this work or will my wall topple? Remember it will generally be 3 or 4 blocks high.
