Hardscape guide
A retaining wall is part of the site structure. The visible blocks are only one component of a system that manages soil and water.
Height, slope, soil, surcharge loads, fences, driveways and structures above the wall influence design.
Drainage behind and around the wall helps control pressure and erosion. Surface water should not be trapped.
Excavation, material delivery, property lines, utilities, engineering and permits can affect feasibility.
