Retaining Wall Materials

A well-built retaining wall solves erosion problems, creates usable flat space on a sloped property, and adds structure to a landscape that holds up for decades. Concrete blocks, beveled natural stone blocks, limestone cap stones, and sierra tan blocks in standard and extra-large sizes give you the building materials for walls of any scale — from a small garden border to a full grade-change retaining structure. Stack the heaviest base course below grade and step each course back slightly — that batter keeps the wall stable and handles the soil pressure behind it over the long term.
