Concrete Retaining Wall
Concrete Retaining Wall
(OP)
I have to design concrete retaining walls for landscaping, wall height 10' from T.O Wall to U/S of slab. Wall height above finish grade will be about 5' to 6'
The neighboring property is already built and has existing retaining walls and/or landscaping.
How close (dimension) can I show the concrete wall to the property line, so that the contractor can build the wall without problems?
The consideration here is excavation and formwork for the concrete wall, which are affected by the existing neighboring property.

Your overall wall height of 10 feet with respect to the retained earth height of 5 to 6 feet seems high here. Do you have a deep frost depth or a need for a catchment wall?
