Small retaining wall repair
So I have a small retaining wall where it looks like the footing and gravel is getting washed out.
Just wondering my best course of action, should I:
-
take falling parts of the the wall, dig it up and replace lost gravel and reset blocks
-
add some reinforcement 6”-12” in front of the wall and add dirt gravel then do #1
Curious as to thoughts here. If it was a wall not on a slope, I wouldn’t be having this issue I’m pretty sure. I’m unsure of the type of drainage behind it, if any.
Thanks for any input

I’d just do #1, and investigate the source of the slumping while it’s apart (water, gophers, etc), and then come up with a solution to address the issue.
