Well the structure would have to be approved by Building Control at your local council, because the retaining wall is higher than 54 inches high. And its going to have to be properly designed by a structural engineer if its going to be safe, plus the amout of excavation you would have to do will be significant. I think it would have to be precast and part of a properly-designed retaining wall. You really need to talk to a professional involving in landscape gardening to move this forward. This sounds like a �15k to �20k project to me.
