Don't know what the length of the arc of your window well is, but what I did
for raising mine about 4 to six inches taller was to get a length of
garden/lawn edging and attach it to the window well -- on the outside -- with
self-tapping screws and silicone the inside edge where they meet. If I had to
raise it more, I would buy a large plastic trash can and cut it to get a band
of hard plastic the depth I needed and do the same. 10 inches might be too
much dirt for plastic to hold back, but six would be no problem.

I wonder if a basement egress well would solve the problem.
