Freestanding walls vs. Retaining walls

When selecting the right wall for your outdoor landscape, knowing what type you need is essential. Retaining and freestanding walls serve different purposes and functionality.

Freestanding walls or retaining walls depend on the position of the home on flat or sloping ground. In landscapes, freestanding walls are often used to divide landscapes into different areas, helping break up open space and add visual interest. The best use of them, however, is on flat ground.

As retaining walls use footings to hold a wall in place and hold soil in place, they are essential for slopes and structural support.
