Retaining Wall in Los Feliz, Los Angeles CA, by Luxus Construction

A retaining wall is a structure that holds or retains soil behind it. There are many types of materials that can be used to create retaining walls like brick, concrete, timber or stone.

If your property is downhill from a soil fault line, then a retaining wall can provide greater stability in case of a major event such as a massive flood or earthquake. Homes that are placed on slopes and below the soil fault line are vulnerable to shifting if a major event breaks the soil away and causes it to move rapidly.
