Retaining Walls

STONE APPLICATIONS

Retaining Walls

A retaining wall is a structure that holds back soil or rock from a land area. It is usually built into the slope of the land and can be made out of various materials, such as wood, stone, or concrete. Retaining walls are commonly used in landscaping and gardening to create level spaces on sloped areas of land. They can also be used for erosion control or to support structures above ground.


There are many different types of retaining walls, and they can vary greatly in size and cost. The most common type of retaining wall is the gravity wall, which relies on its own weight to hold back the soil behind it. Retaining walls can be a great addition to any landscape or garden.

What Types of Stone to Use For Retaining Walls?

Some common types of stone include natural stone, brick, block, and concrete. Natural stone is often the most expensive option, but it is also the most durable. Brick is a more affordable option that can still provide a good level of durability. Block is another affordable option that can be very strong if installed properly. Concrete is perhaps the most versatile option, as it can be molded into any shape and size needed for the project. Ultimately, the best type of stone to use for a retaining wall will depend on budget, aesthetics, and functionality.
