Stone Retaining Wall Construction

Stone retaining wall construction is the process of building a wall using natural stone to hold back soil and prevent erosion on slopes. This technique is often employed in landscaping to create terraced areas, prevent landslides, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the landscape. The construction process involves selecting and placing stones in a way that ensures stability and durability, often without the use of mortar (dry-stacked) or with mortar for additional strength. Proper drainage behind the wall is essential to prevent water buildup and pressure that could lead to wall failure. Stone retaining walls are valued for their natural beauty, long-lasting durability, and ability to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
