Retaining wall pictures

I am going to build a few retaining walls in my back yard this summer using those interlocking stones that you can buy at Lowes and Home Depot. Does anyone know any good sites with finished examples of yards landscaped with these walls?

I need some examples to pull ideas from.

ya know, If I wasn't having trouble finding pics of walls made from the blocks described above I wouldn't be posting here now would I Gomer?

I figured that somebody here had already made a retaining wall or two and had a bit more luck researching it than I've been having the past couple days.

Here... I did the damn search for you... exact string I told you to search.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...22+landscaping

There is a link to the search results. First link is dead.... saw plenty of pics on the next 3 that I looked at. Hell the third one down says "Retaining Walls, landscaping photos." Didn't waste my time looking any more after that... as I said, plenty of pics.

In your two days of research didja try google?

Actually... find the names of manufacturers that make that kind of stone. Then look on their websites.

odd advice here.... Saturdays on HGTV - lots of gardening stuff, there is one show in particular where every week they are putting up a monster wall. This guy does his 'gardening' with the BIG toys like big time dozers....the project takes months to complete and they never tell ya how much it costs.....
it's on sometime here before 10:30..... can't think of the name......
(ps.. I like Surreal's advice)
