What makes sand different, and how walls are built to stay put on Geraldton blocks.
Sand drains well, but it also flows through gaps and moves under footings.
Geotextile fabric behind the wall stops sand washing through gaps. See retaining wall drainage.
Deeper footings and compacted bases keep walls stable. Concrete sleeper walls are a popular choice.
Limestone blocks suit the local look and are very durable. See block retaining walls.
One more thing worth knowing: retaining walls on clay and rock face different problems, and seeing how retaining wall builders deal with them is worth a look.
