About the Type of Wall
A stone retaining wall is a vertical or sloped structure built with natural stone to support soil laterally. These walls prevent erosion, create usable flat areas on slopes, and can also serve as decorative garden or boundary walls.
Natural stone offers an organic, weathered look that complements almost any setting, whether its rustic gardens or modern outdoor spaces.
