Does anyone have experience with using auger cast piles to form a retaining wall? If so, what are your experiences? Good or bad? Anything in particular to watch out for?

Thanks in advance!
 
It can be done. I have done it once with generally good results. You will likely have to do some patching where the piles separate for one reason or another or you can just use a wall facing everywhere with some minimal amount of strength.

Make sure you get an experienced contractor or you will have problems.
