Retaining walls are often found in places where extra support is needed to prevent the soil from moving downhill with erosion. They can provide usable land by providig level area in your yard making landscaping easier. They manage to runoff the water flow preventing it from going in garages, basements, and your lower house levels; avoiding any water damage to your foundation.

Types of Retaining Walls
