On house I bought 12 years ago, walk out basement retaining wall is falling apart. I am thinking of rebuilding - it is only 10 feet long. It looks like the previous owner stacked concrete blocks in front of the original wall to slow the collapse of the wall. I will pull all the blocks and will dig down about 6 inches below grade, put some gravel down, build my wall and put some gravel in between wall and dirt. If I do not rebuild do you think the dirt will gradually collapse to my basement door?
