If you want to level a steep slope on your property or enclose an area for a decorative garden, a retaining wall might be just what your landscape needs.

What you see with many retaining walls these days is a fashion statement.  No one likes to see just a concrete wall, and the facial elements of retaining walls have changed radically within the past two decades, just as pavers have changed the way driveways look.

Once made almost exclusively of large sections of poured-in-place concrete along highways or shorelines, retaining walls now get all dressed up to satisfy the architects and engineers who specify them, as well as the consumer end user.  There are now dozens of types of retaining walls to choose from, including various segmental blocks and facial styles.  The opportunity now exists to carry a design through many areas of a site, such as from the patio to the garden retaining wall, on a residential site.
