What is a Retaining Wall?
A retaining wall is a structure that is created to retain earth or backfill materials. These types of walls can be used for different projects and different purposes. For example, a retaining wall could be used to prevent erosion on your land.
There are also different types of retaining walls. Retaining walls can be made from different materials, and they can be different sizes and styles. If you are looking to get a retaining wall for your property, you can reach out to us at Triad Associates.
Below, you can learn more about some of the benefits of retaining walls and what they can be used for. You can also learn about how we build retaining walls for you. Check it out.
Benefits of Retaining Walls
There are several benefits to having a retaining wall, but these can depend on the purpose of your retaining wall. Check them out below.
- Controls Erosion – A common use of a retaining wall is to stop erosion. Hillsides can erode over time, especially with certain weather, so a retaining wall can help keep everything in place.
- Eliminates Slope – If there is a large hill or slope on your land, the use of a retaining wall can eliminate that. If a retaining wall is placed and built correctly, you could have two flat sections of land with a retaining wall between; this would be in place of a large slope that you may not want.
- Terrace a Hillside – Do you have a long hillside that you would like to be more functional? You could build multiple smaller retaining walls to terrace a hillside. This could allow you to do different landscaping with your land.
- Changes Your Land – Are you looking to change your outdoor space and its look and function? As mentioned above, a retaining wall can eliminate slope, which means that it could level off an area for you to change the function of your land. A properly placed retaining wall could allow you to create a level space for an outdoor living space of some kind.
Those are just a few of the benefits of retaining walls and how you can use them on your property. There are also a lot of different types of retaining walls and different materials that can be used to make a retaining wall. Stone can be used, as well as concrete blocks to build retaining walls.

Block Wall Construction Process:
Step 1: Excavation – The first step of constructing this type of wall is to excavate the area. You need the space to put in your block wall, so we will dig out the area for you.
Step 2: Footing Preparation – Then, we will need to prepare for the footing. A footing is the foundation of the block wall, so it is essential to get the foundation right for you.
Step 3: Delivery of Block – Next, we will deliver the block to your location. Once it is delivered, we can start to get to work putting the blocks into place for you.
Step 4: Construction/Backfill – We will construct your retaining wall to your exact needs and specifications. Then, we will worry about any backfill for your wall. When we excavated for the wall, we needed space to construct it, but now, we may need to fill in behind the wall for you.
