Hi

I've built an 8m double thickness wall which is about a 1m high in my
back
garden and runs parrallel to the back wall of my house. This acts as a
retaining wall for about 600mm of soil and hardcore topped with slabs.
At
the side of this wall, I've turned a corner and built two more walls
perpindicular to the 8m wall. These are 1m apart and are a length of
2.5m.
I
wish to build a concrete ramp between these, but can't find much info on
the
method of construction.

Thanks for any advice.

I made a small ramp with a 1:5 mix of cement and 3/4"-to-dust ballast. It
was
quite possible to shape it without using a mould or shuttering of any sort,
as the larger components of the ballast lock together to prevent it fro
slumping.
Of course, I would not go for a runny mix. The previous posters idea about
using
rubble may well save you the cost of using too much cement etc.
