Stacked Stone Retaining Wall Along a Driveway

Project Overview

A stacked stone wall runs along the edge of an asphalt driveway, holding back a planted bank. The finished wall gives the driveway a defined, tidy edge.

Walls beside driveways should account for vehicle loads and the water that runs off the paved surface. For materials, the installation process and price ranges, see our guide to stone retaining wall construction.
