Math question for any engineers out here
I’m in the process of building a parking pad in this spot. I ran a string line to measure my retaining wall height. If I have the line 3 feet above the ground and check the line for level, it is still...

I would recommend checking out Versalock wall blocks as well. Used ties aren’t a permanent material like wall blocks are. I have several feet of retaining wall around my house made from these. The tallest one is about 7’.
For the height of the wall you’re considering, you should use the large size blocks that are about twice the size of what Lowe’s and Home Depot carry. The block face is 8” x 18”, and they weight about 90 lbs each. The caps are 4” x 18”. One of the nicest things about this type of retaining wall is that no special drainage pipe is needed behind it. Because it’s dry-stacked, the wall is porous to water.
