Overall I would estimate that the existing block drops 1~1.5m from street to back fence so adding 1m of retaining should be plenty.
HOWEVER, the back fence is onto a commercial property (their carpark) which has already been levelled, and so it is already retained. Using that precast modular concrete ("wonderwall").
So my question is how can I "add" to the existing retaining?
Can I place "L" blocks on top of the existing retaining?

What are L blocks and what are you trying to achieve. 1.5mtr high is OK. Pictures ??
