House brick as a retaining wall? This is a recipe for disaster! House brick when in contact with soil will absorb moisture, which will then freeze and bust the brick apart. Also the brick isn't large enough to retain anything. House brick is just used as a decorative veneer. You will have to build a concrete or block wall and face it with brick.
