Tiered stone retaining wall with landscaped garden beds at a residential property in Northwest Arkansas, built by ABI Systems for erosion control and curb appeal

Retaining walls are rigid structures designed hold soil at varying elevations, effectively preventing the land from naturally sloping or eroding. These walls play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of landscapes by holding back soil and creating distinct levels, thus aiding in proper land utilization and erosion control. There are many retaining wall styles to choose from including large and small format blocks, natural stone, railroad ties, and concrete.

Benefits of Retaining Walls

  • Erosion control: By holding back soil, retaining walls stabilize slopes and prevent washouts.

  • Water management: They divert water and manage runoff to reduce flooding and saturated soils.

  • Expanded usable space: Terraced landscapes allow for gardens, patios, driveways and walkways.

  • Aesthetics & property value: The right materials and design can enhance curb appeal and complement your home.

  • Supporting structures: Taller retaining walls can underpin decks, outbuildings or roads.
