How I Built a DIY Backyard Retaining Wall and Patio (with Titanic twist!) @TheGrainDoctor

Uploaded September 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

How I transformed an underutilized coner of my backyard by building my first timber retaining wall and patio. It took me from April to September 2025, working on evenings and weekends. As I hate to do hack jobs, I overdid it, from pinning the first tier to installing on overengineered french drain system. I am by no means a landscape architect, but I was pretty happy with the result.
