What Is an Armour Stone Retaining Wall?
An armour stone retaining wall is a type of wall constructed using large, natural stones to retain soil, prevent erosion, and create level ground in areas with significant changes in elevation. Unlike traditional concrete retaining walls, armour stone features massive stones that provide both functional stability and a visually stunning, natural aesthetic. These stones are carefully chosen for their shape, durability, and visual appeal, making each armour stone retaining wall unique.
Benefits of Armour Stone Retaining Walls
1. Durability
Armour stone is a highly durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor applications. Its resistance to wear and tear ensures that your retaining wall will remain intact and stable for years to come.


2. Aesthetic Appeal
The rugged, natural look of armour stone can elevate the beauty of your landscape, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings while offering a timeless appeal. Each stone's unique texture and colour add character to any outdoor space.
3. Erosion Control
Armour stone walls are highly effective at preventing soil erosion, especially in sloped areas, by holding the soil in place and protecting it from water runoff.


4. Low Maintenance
Unlike traditional retaining walls that may crack or deteriorate over time, armour stone walls require minimal maintenance, allowing you to enjoy a long-lasting, hassle-free structure.
5. Versatility in Design
Whether you are looking for a small armour stone retaining wall to mark off a garden or a large, structural wall for a major landscaping project, armour stone retaining wall designs can be customized to fit any style or functional need.
