Cinderblock step to small patio

I'm building a 10x10 patio for grilling (my deck is composite) on a slight slope. To get it the 1/8" grade I will need to put in a single course retaining wall on two sides. I've searched for videos and advice but nothing fits my situation. Here are my questions: can I use cinderblock since it's just one course? how deep a footing do I need? What material? do I need to bond the blocks together since there is nothing on top but pavers to hold them?? submitted by /u/Dazzling_Antelope888 [link] [comments]

  1. can I use cinderblock since it's just one course?

  2. how deep a footing do I need? What material?

  3. do I need to bond the blocks together since there is nothing on top but pavers to hold them??
