However, I've been wondering if I should go a little further. Out the side of the house is a "garden" area with a rock retaining wall, next photo. There's two rock retaining walls there as it staggers the height. I'm wondering now if I should remove the bend and straighten out the lower retaining wall and bring it through to the front to connect to the retaining wall I planned to do out the front. This would remove a large chunk of an area, which has a fence running over it. Obviously, I'd have to do something with the fence but that garden area is a waste.
Obviously, the other issue is the rock retaining wall connecting to a sleeper retaining wall, would look totally crap if the two "met" half way etc. Anyway, I'm just looking for ideas. First, do I just put a sleep retaining wall out the front and call it a day. Second, is there something I can do with the garden area and straighten that retaining wall to connect out the front. Also, anything I do naturally will be within council guidelines etc. I'm currently just trying to look at what options there are etc.
