The retaining wall is between the home and a neighbours home which is at a higher elevation As you can see the bottom row appears to be newer / in much better condition to the top row The top row has some gaps in between the pieces of timber and also the timber appears to be splitting in some areas. We are worried the retaining wall has been compromised What are our options here?
