Freestanding landscape walls do not hold back soil as in the case with a retaining wall.

Vertically stacking landscape blocks to create a wall. With a properly designed and engineered combination of products, the reinforced soil mass can support greater earth pressure and surcharge loads.ДЇreestanding landscape walls are simply decorative walls that are most commonly used for yard division or decoration. These additional reinforcement products help to create larger composite reinforced soil structures.

Gravity retaining walls are normally used in non-critical applications, where final wall height will be under 36'. These mortar-less, yet structurally interconnected (lipped units and specialized pins) retaining wall systems also permit water drainage to prevent hydrostatic loads. When the right conditions are present, and when built within their recommended height limits, gravity retaining walls are able to resist lateral pressure solely with their weight and embedded depth. Gravity walls rely on a combination of block weight, connections, depth of buried wall, and wall setback to hold back soil. Gravity retaining walls are one of the most basic and common types of retaining walls. What are the Different Types of Landscape Walls?
