• <div><p>Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.</p></div>

Q: What does rebar do?

• <div><p>Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension.

• <div><p><b>Vinyl retaining walls </b>are often the least expensive type of retaining wall, at $10 to $15 per square foot.
