Retaining walls have different purposes; earth retention, landscaping, soil reinforcement, water applications such as sea walls, departments of transportation (DOT) and aesthetic value.
Engineering is required for dry stack retaining walls over three and a half to four feet in height. Please seek out a good Geotechnical Engineer in your location. Geo-synthetic grid (geogrid) is also required on larger retaining walls.
Applications include residential, commercial, water and industrial. Some small residential retaining walls can be constructed by the do-it-yourselfers (DIY), other larger and more complicated walls would need a professional contractor for construction. See information on how to build a retaining wall.
Some residential retaining wall manufacturers are: Anchor, Allan Block, Versa-Lok, Redi-Rock, Rockwood, Keystone, Pavestone.
