Which Do You Think Is Better? Brick or Concrete Retaining Wall?
The Wife & I are planning on building a 5-8 foot wall (50 Ft wide) at the base of a hill on our lawn in order to make it level ground (after filling in behind the wall.) We were originally thinking brick because I personally think It would look nicer. However I was told it would be quite expensive and should possibly look into concrete (possibly colored and stamped.) What are the advantages/disadvantages to both methods and what would you do?
Here is what the lawn looks like:

Water is more likely to get into the bricks, washing out the sand from behind it. Or freezing and cracking the joints between the bricks. If there is a lot of rainfall, or harsh winters in your area, go with solid concrete.
