Slope Stabilization vs Retaining Walls: Which Do You Need?

Slope stabilization prevents soil erosion on gradual inclines using techniques like terracing, vegetation, and drainage systems. Retaining walls hold back soil on steep grades or level changes, creating usable flat space while preventing landslides. The key difference: slope stabilization works with natural contours, while retaining walls create new ones.

Choose slope stabilization for mild erosion on gentle slopes where you want to maintain the natural landscape. Opt for retaining walls when you need to create level areas, support steep cuts, or protect structures from soil movement. Retaining walls also handle heavier loads and provide immediate, permanent support. Consider your budget too—slope stabilization typically costs less upfront but may require ongoing maintenance.
