Living in a hilly or sloping area is awesome! You get to tower over everything around you, making you feel like a king. What’s more, you get to enjoy the unhindered view of the sun and panoramic scenes around you. At a higher elevation, the experience is truly one of a kind. But this terrain comes with a few challenges. Since the soil is sloping, there’s always a chance of runoff and soil erosion that is perilous to you and your property. This is when retaining walls are a big use. They are solid, landscaping structures holding back the soil on a slope, preventing landslides.
