Concrete retaining wall ideas

If you're looking to build an easy and cheap retaining wall, here's a gallery of different retaining wall ideas on a budget.

Retaining walls keep soil on one side of the structure, allowing for a lower floor level on the other side of the wall. In the past, they were often made from concrete, which works well because it is strong and long-lasting, but concrete is not very pleasing to the eye. Though they serve a very practical purpose, there’s no reason retaining walls shouldn’t look good at the same time.

Retaining walls are practical design solutions for a number of landscape issues. They can be made with a variety of affordable and cheap materials.

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show this bare concrete retaining wall and an idea that would improve the look of the home exterior (and not have it be the eyesore of the neighborhood). There are many cool retaining wall options, and I like this one the best. A little stucco and a few natural rocks to cap it off and you've got it.

Here’s a gorgeous design using concrete blocks. Massive concrete blocks, that is. If you’re browsing through any cinder block retaining wall ideas, this one may be the design to stop at. The blocks are neutral grey, but huge and textured to add interesting character and depth to any garden space. The stone steps cut into the massive blocks looks almost like a fairy tale scene in the woods. This is a great idea for a summer getaway home or lodge in the mountains.
