Driveway walls on cut slopes
When a driveway is cut across a hillside, the uphill side needs to be held back and the downhill side often sits on fill. Both can move over time, especially where runoff from the driveway pours over the edge. A wall on the uphill cut, plus a drain or swale that carries driveway runoff away safely, protects both sides. If the downhill edge is cracking or slumping, have it looked at before it undermines the driveway.
