I have 2 retaining walls to build either side of a ramp using interlocking blocks. I also want to pave the area in-between. My dilema is what is the easiest way to do this as the wall must be level and the ramp sloped. Can you help?
Thanks :angry:

How high is the walling and what's the name of the product you're using. also what kind of paving will it be. Cheers.

I am using a 450 x 450 x 45 precast paver. The wall is 600mm high
Thanks

The walling is fairly easy to build I'll get to that in a bit but because the blocks are single sided you won't be able to diguise the back side of them on the ramp even if you tiered it with the slope. How high is it how long is it and does it need to be a ramp or could you use steps.

Both sides of the wall will be backfilled and a garden planted and mulched to hide the back side of the blocks. The ramp is approximately 6m long and 800mm high from ground level. I want to be able to get mulch etc into the back area of the yard which is up the hill so steps are not practical
Thanks
