You used Courtyard to build a retaining wall?

Allen Block is a really good choice if you want to spend a few bucks and make it look really nice. Jumbo (the medium sized blocks) corner really good and don't require much more than a few inches of gravel as a base. The pain comes from cutting capstones but the finished product is pretty nice.

This is one of many random photos of stuff we did:
