Purpose
The main purpose of a retaining wall is to flatten out sloped areas of a yard to make them more functional. This can improve the appearance of a landscape, direct water flow to help drainage, and prevent erosion.
Materials
Retaining walls can be made out of a variety of materials, each available in many colors. The following are some of the most popular and effective materials we use to build retaining walls.
- Poured Concrete
- Limestone
- Boulders

Cost
The cost of installing a paver patio can vary greatly depending upon the type of pavers and the contours of the area they are fitted to. Generally, you can expect to pay between $35 to $65 per square foot. Paver patios are more expensive than concrete, but are a more durable option that require less maintenance and typically have a greater return-on-investment for homeowners.
