My first choice was not to use Home Depot. I checked with RCP Block
first--a local stone distributor in town. But RCP wanted $850 to
deliver the stones to my property--they didn't even blink when they
quoted me that ridiculous figure. Home Depot will deliver the same
amount of stones for $65--period. The choice was simple. I don't have
a disposible budget and I see these retaining walls all over town.
The only wall that I noticed coming down was just crammed into the
soil without a base, this is not what I'm doing.
I checked PAVESTONE.COM after I talked to Home Depot and that's where
I found the conflicting information. Home Depot says, "build it up to
three feet and don't sweat it". PAVESTONE.COM says, "Max is 24". --I'm
confused.
