There are block retaining walls stone retaining walls and poured concrete retaining walls but these can be quite complicated and expensive.
Retaining wall soil bags.
Leave the concrete in the bag stack like legos wet with a hose core77 building a retaining wall in the conventional ways is not a trivial matter.
A simple cost effective way to make a retaining wall is to stack 60 lb.
Once the bags are laid you wet everything down thoroughly with a hose saturating all of the bags.
Envirolok is a patented vegetated environmental system comprised of encapsulated soil bags and spikes combined with the engineered strength of soil reinforcing materials.
The result is an interlocking soil mass that promotes and sustains vegetation.
Envirolok vegetated bag system envirolok is a vegetated mechanically stabilised earth wall system for retaining walls slope stabilisation erosion control and shoreline protection.
Green retaining bags are easy to use and transport making them ideal for not only large commercial projects but dyi home and community projects as well.
The envirolok system allows for easy landscaping design while providing a vegetated finish.

Envirolok provides a permanent vegetated wall or slope for stabilization erosion control shoreline protection streambank restoration stormwater management and retaining.
Over time the bags will degrade and you will have an elegant and permanent retaining wall.
The deltalok interlocking plates is placed between sand soil filled deltalok geo modular bags to dramatically increase the sheer strength of the bag structure.
The green retaining bag is excellent for permanent non degradable shoreline riverbank restoration vegetated slope stabilisation or ornamental green living retaining walls.
An easy way to build retaining walls.
Prior to wetting the concrete you can easily drive rebar into the bags as reinforcement.
