What You Should Know About Retaining Walls

Orlando retaining walls are used in projects that deal with uneven terrain.  They help to alleviate the lateral pressure created by inclined terrain, and thus to help prevent erosion and soil shifting.  Retaining walls are often made out of concrete, as they must be sturdy enough to counteract that lateral pressure while standing on their own.  Additionally, they are often constructed with drainage holes, to further reduce pressure on the slope caused by rainwater runoff.  But did you know that Orlando retaining walls can also add a beautiful decorative touch to your construction project?
