It doesn't seem obvious until you build differant retaining walls, but straight walls are the hardest. Each row needs be straigt before placeing the next. Be prepared to cut and chip concrete if the step sidewalls are formed crooked or overflowed.

Retaining wall block has evolved to not only hold back earth, but also provide decorative barriers and backdrops. Free standing walls along a path, garden, or patio add another dimension and interest. VERSA-LOK wall block is made with a splitting groove which allows the back 2 inches of a block split off. This gives the split face appearance required when building free standing walls. Free standing walls can be built on top of wall sections that are below grade. The free standing section gets stacked vertical with no setback.
