Retaining Walls can enhance the look and feel of your yard.  While serving as a stabilizer in yards with a slope.  We have also replaced a lot of the old railway ties with the block which have a much sturdier feel.  We also use retaining wall block to make a raised patio,  in the picture shown above we created a slope to the top rather than stairs, to make the patio accessable by wheelchair.
