We had to dig a trench at the front of our block of land as this is the highest part. This enabled us to get the wall level all the way down the side of the house.
The wall was laid on a bed of Roadbase and levelled using river sand.
It's important to get the first coarse laid level.
After that the rest of the wall is easy as the blocks just lay on top of each other.
Here it is with four coarses laid and capping on top. The wall is four blocks high at the front and gradually steps down to one block high.

Your retaining wall looks terrific. I really like it. How long an area is it for and what height is it at 4 courses?
Thanks Kexkez,
The wall is currently 24m long. Each block is 150mm high x 300mm long. It's 4 courses high for 6m long then steps down to 3 high for 6m and so on. We will probably add to it in the future as it could do with being 4 courses high a few meters longer. Thats the good thing about this type of wall, it's easy to add to and make adjustments.
