Natural Stone—Although the most expensive, these are not only the most appealing to the eye, but also the most solid foundation for your property and the surrounding elements in terms of stability. Costing nearly $25 per sq. ft., this is definitely a long-term investment of your money. In many cases, the wall may very well prove to otherwise effectively utilize rainwater to support your garden or agricultural properties surrounding your house. They also of course, are very pleasing to the eye and come in many customizable unique patterns.
Concrete Blocks—While not as appealing as natural stones, concrete blocks provide a very stable foundation and countermeasure against flooding and support adequate long-term balance and stability for your house, and the dynamics of a unique incline before, on, or after your property. This style is common, as it gives the most ‘modern’ look, and also practical in price at only $20 per sq. foot.
