I need advice about retaining wall types.? - tiered retaining walls
In my garden there is a large bank of about 3 meters high and 7 feet long. He is currently retained by a stone wall on two levels, which began to fall.
Since it is directly in front of our room, we need something that is obviously not too hard and not too expensive. (A large wall, which seems a bit much).
We were lying down) a couple of dates for 6000 pounds for the two walls block level (on the ground.
We decided to treat ourselves (God help us), but still looking for the best option. Someone suggested, with Poland and ties, but Im not sure it will place high.
Note that the bank will not receive all the structural features, only the beginning of the grass.
Any advice would be appreciated. I have pictures, but do not know how you see, maybe I can send an e-mail could you.

One way to respond is to increase the effective load on the earth ... This means that we as dry as possible. A wet soil is low and not to care. If you could eliminate moisture from the dam, which could stand without supporting wall. But in general the idea is to try to solve the problem of corners 2 to ... keep soil moisture as low as possible (in general) depending on the location, and to strengthen the embankment of times the soil is too wet and weak. And one can imagine where it is most likely problems with moisture on the hill, at the bottom.
If you can not intercept any groundwater of the embankment with French drains, and the upper slope to the water trickles down his face transforming to prevent and resolve most problems without creating even a wall. If you do only partially, then you need to re-build the wall. For good drainage behind the wall ... Clean is good, gravel or sand that does not af, but the rapid spreadNGLISH drainage at the bottom of the wall, then into a wall outlet.
In addition, you must create a connection between the wall and the slope ... Deadmen or anchors from the ground or soil nails. Use large rocks on the bottom (the base, so to speak), because the country is, where pressure is the highest ... and anchor on the ground to the "Slide" ... namely, the burial of at least 1 foot on the ground ... more is better and bigger is better.
