How to Teardown and Rebuild a Retaining Wall
First, mark the area around the wall and make sure it's safe to start. Use a sledgehammer or other demo tools to break down the wall piece by piece. Stack the debris out of the way, then start by setting a new foundation before building the wall back up with your desired materials. Make sure to properly compact the ground and use landscaping fabric before adding gravel and the new wall blocks for stability.
