I forgot to mention a cheap fix with a little bit of labor on your end, nice weekend morning thing to do

We had this issue on a raise flower bed we have, the dirt and what not was coming through the small paver wall we had. I dug out behind it, just enough to reach down to the bottom, only the smallest width shovel like a 4 inch edger one
Then I took the cheapest window screen material I could find and used it as a backing to the wall. Then just back filled the dirt

Problem solved, water pours out, no dirt or anything else with it
Works great almost 6 years later still
