Retaining walls provide extra support that prevents the earth from moving downhill during erosion. They rely primarily on their weight to offset the lateral force of a slope.
When utilizing land containing a slope, retaining walls are key to resisting the lateral pressure of soil when there is a desired change in ground elevation that exceeds the angle of repose of the soil. Retaining walls help stabilize sloped landscape, limit erosion, provide earth retention, prevents property damage, and provides usable functionality to limited terrain.
