You see them ll the time, people use them to line their driveways or accent their patios – retaining walls.
They can be built out of almost anything. For centuries people have used stones and bricks. Now they use railroad ties and formed concrete. When done correctly, they can look absolutely beautiful and add space and value to the place you love most; your home and garden.
As you can see from the photos, some retaining walls can be as tall as you want, while others will be only inches off the ground. It all depends on the look and purpose you need your wall to provide. It can also be either straight, curved, circular, or boxed. Retaining walls are also easy to build. See the schematic below for more information on how they work and should be constructed.
