The wall plates shown here face away from the property and towards the woods so they aren't seen.

AFTER: the wall is secure and considerably straighter than the starting point

The failing retaining wall has been stabilized and significantly straightened. It will continue to straighten even more over time.

The only part of the retaining wall that wasn't failing

This view shows how the yard goes all the way up to the retaining wall. Other photos show how steep the drop off is beyond the wall. The combined pictures give an idea of how much pressure this retaining wall was enduring. The geo lock wall anchor system will keep it secure and stand it back up straight.

This picture shows the drop off that occurs outside the property line. Another picture shows how the lawn comes all the way up to the retaining wall. Because of this, you can imagine how much pressure is on this retaining wall.
