Sorry, I don't know how to load a photo, but the finished tiles look just like the Ladbroke Trc pavers above only it was done with poured, coloured concrete and then cut and grouted to make it look like pavers, hence no weeds ever! We had it done a terracotta colour which looks great. The sides were done as a wooden retaining wall with stairs up to the higher level of lawn, also done in the concrete. The advantage of concrete opposed to decking is that you never have to think about again as it doesn't rot like decking does after a few years and have to be replaced. It make cost a little more initially, but long term it's really worth the money. We finished off the top of the retaining wall with buxus hedging, but you could put flowers or whatever you fancied there. The concrete trucks have long hoses which can pump the concrete a long distance to the back of your house so no worries there. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Thank you both for the wonderful suggestions. me me, would you suggest a different colour for the door? I have to keep in green but could do a different shade. macyjean I love your feedback, particularly regarding some cascading plants over the cream wall. I am working on a sketch, but in the mean time added some more pics. You are right about the rcac, I have been wanting to screen it but the installers told me not to put anything in front. Perhaps a shrub might work?

It’s been very wet everywhere recently. The wall doesn’t look like it has previous storm water damage so it may not be an ongoing problem. As alluded to above drainage may be a problem. Water will always find a way and sealing up those gaps will force the water to come out lower or higher. There are lots of posts on the internet about neighbours responsibility to retain storm water from their property on their property. Also lots on who has the responsibility for retaining walls. Have a Google and a read.
