Rock retaining walls serve both functional and aesthetic purposes by holding back soil on slopes, preventing erosion, and adding natural beauty to a landscape. Built with durable materials like natural stone or boulders, these walls create level spaces for planting or patios while blending seamlessly into outdoor environments. Professional installation starts with excavating and leveling a base trench, followed by placing the largest stones on a compacted gravel foundation for stability. Successive layers are stacked with care for proper fit and drainage, often including a slight backward slope (batter) and drainage fabric or gravel behind the wall to relieve pressure. The finished wall is strong, long-lasting, and visually striking.
