I'm trying to figure out best way to put a concrete retaining wall on each side of my driveway. Any suggestions?

Brace a piece of plywood up against it.

Plywood braced w'2x4's or a few pieces of tin roofing.

concrete stacked in a wall creates a lot of pressure. I can help but I need dimensions to give you instructions.

This.
If fill every other cell with some cheap azz concrete and a couple 5/8 rebar sticks and you'll be go to go. You could get fancy and use split face block too. G'luck

Just when you think you have enough braces, add more

Adding wingwalls to the headwall helps with pressure, but watch out for scour.

This is no fun without a picture of the driveway in question.
