Hillside Natural Stone Retaining Wall

Project Overview

Large natural stones hold back a slope below a hillside home. The photos show the wall during construction with gravel backfill visible.

Retaining walls on slopes carry real soil loads; taller walls and walls near structures often require engineering and permits.

What the Photos Show

Key details:

  • Large stones sized for slope retention
  • Gravel backfill for drainage
  • Wall following the natural grade
  • Slope stabilized below the house

How This Type of Work Is Done

01

Excavation

The base is cut into stable soil.

02

Wall building

Stones are set with batter back into the slope.

03

Drainage backfill

Gravel goes behind the wall so water does not build up pressure.
