Types of Retaining Walls

There are many different types of retaining walls, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common types are listed below.

Wooden Retaining Walls

Wooden retaining walls are the simplest type of wall, and they can be built using just a few basic tools. They are also the least expensive option, making them popular for homeowners on a budget. However, wooden walls require regular maintenance to avoid rot and insect damage.

Stone or Concrete Retaining Walls

Stone or concrete walls are more expensive than wooden ones but are also much more durable. These walls can last for decades with minimal maintenance, making them a good choice for homeowners who want a long-term solution. However, they are also the heaviest type of wall, so be sure to consult with your contractor before choosing this option

Segmental Retaining Wall Blocks

Segmental retaining wall blocks are a newer type of wall that has recently gained popularity. These blocks are made from lightweight plastic or concrete, which makes them easier to install than traditional stone or concrete walls. They also come in various colors and styles, allowing you to customize your wall to match your home's exterior.
