These landscaping materials, available at a major home improvement retailer, are structural components used to create barriers that hold back soil. Typically constructed from concrete or other durable materials, these units interlock or stack to form a stable, vertical or near-vertical wall. These walls prevent erosion, create usable space on sloped terrains, and add visual appeal to landscapes. Examples include creating raised flower beds, terraced gardens, or leveling uneven yards.
The employment of such structural elements offers multiple advantages, ranging from preventing soil erosion and managing water runoff to expanding usable outdoor space on properties with varying terrains. Historically, these structures have been essential in agriculture and civil engineering for land management and infrastructure development. Their modern application enhances property value and improves landscape aesthetics while providing essential structural support.
