Gravity Retaining Wall
Gravity retaining walls rely on the weight of the materials to have structural integrity, meaning any type of material can work for building blocks. The flexibility regarding the building blocks presents more opportunities for a project with intricate design features, and allows it to have some playful spirit.
Retaining walls are commonly made of pavers, natural stones or bricks. Taller gravity retaining walls may also need to be reinforced with more substantial materials like a foundation or concrete footing in case the soil under them is too loose to support their weight.
Sheet Piling Retaining Wall
Retaining walls are a very basic solution where you simply drive in thin steel. These types of retaining walls work best in soft soils and can be otherwise unsupportive due to lack of room for installation. Sheet piling retaining walls only work in softer soils with around 1/3 of the wall driven into the ground. If too much earth pressure is present.
