# What is retaining wall construction?

Retaining wall construction involves building structures that hold back and prevent the movement of soil on sloped terrain. Different materials like concrete blocks, timber, boulders or landscape pavers are suitable depending on the wall height and purpose. Successful construction begins with compacting a level base and installing underground drainage to prevent water buildup. Subsequent courses are accurately laid using adhesives or ties and staggered vertical joints for strength. The slope of the soil meeting the wall is never steeper than 45 degrees to avoid failures. Backfilling uses compacted granular soils in thin lifts. A drainage blanket and surface prevent water infiltration. Properly built retaining walls safely create usable spaces on inclined properties without erosion.
