I did the same thing here....I have a double wide driveway, a dirt driveway, and didn't need it that wide anymore.....couldn't dig there to save your life.

Built an 8 inch wall in the shape I wanted out of some old split wood I had laying around....found a place the township dumps all their chipped trees and branches, filled it in and planted!!! It's been 3 years, and everything grows well.....just now started adding some real garden mulch and a bit of manure if I transplant anything in there.
