Before we begin let’s look at the history of retaining walls. Retaining Walls date back to ancient Egypt. They were designed to hold back the river Nile. The Nile would flood and erode the soil. The Egyptians build Gabion style retaining wall from reeds. The walls would divert the flow of the Nile into reservoirs as well as irrigating the fields.
A retaining wall is a structure made from large rocks, baskets filled with small rocks, treated timber, cast in-situ concrete and concrete blocks.
Some of the types are simple to build and others more difficult. Some have long life spans and other shorter life span. Some are economical and some more expensive.
