Poor drainage destroys most retaining walls. Build in drainage right in the wall from base to close to the top. A solid footer is necessary for tall walls otherwise they shift as the seasons change and walls collapse. All footers should extend below the frost line.

A retaining wall is a structure that holds backsoil or rock from a building, structure or area.
