What is a retaining wall?

Retaining walls are built to hold back soil and stop it from sliding downhill. They’re often used in landscaping, near driveways or around buildings built into a slope. A properly built retaining wall balances the pressure of the soil with its own weight and base strength.

How do retaining walls work?

These walls resist the sideways pressure of soil by pushing back using their own mass and the strength of the ground in front of them. This pressure can come not only from the soil itself but also from water buildup, nearby buildings or vehicles. If the forces stay in balance, the wall stands firm. But when that balance is lost, problems begin.

Why do retaining walls fail?

Soil movement or erosion
Especially after tree removal or changes in terrain.

Additional weight
Cars, heavy machinery or new structures built near the edge.

Poor drainage and water pressure
Water buildup increases the pressure behind the wall, accelerating failure.

When the pressure becomes too much, walls may lean, bow, crack or even collapse.
