Retaining Walls That Work is a practical field guide from Eddy Anglin, built on more than 35 years of hands-on retaining wall experience. Too many walls fail because critical construction steps get misunderstood or skipped. This book explains the basics that decide whether a wall holds up for decades or starts failing in a few seasons.
Inside you'll learn:
* Why retaining walls fail
* Proper base preparation and foundation construction
* Drainage systems and structural backfill
* When to bring in a qualified engineer
Real project photos, construction cross-sections, and clear explanations show you the methods experienced contractors use to build stable, long-lasting walls.
It's written for homeowners planning a wall, DIYers taking on a small project, and contractors who want to do it right the first time. Available in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle.

Final reveal of our LaGrange project! 🔥

This job evolved along the way with additional wall work and a set of massive 48-inch natural-stone steps—but the finished result was well worth the effort. The retaining walls frame the property beautifully, and those stone steps create a strong, natural transition down toward the lake.

It was a pleasure working alongside David King of King Wall Company—an absolute legend in the retaining-wall industry. We’re proud of the craftsmanship our crew put into every detail of this project.

Built strong. Built to last.

Kicking off another beautiful lakeside retaining-wall project in LaGrange, Georgia!

We’re working alongside the legend himself, David King of King Wall Company. This introduction video captures the block delivery and an incredible drone view of the home, property, and lake.

Armored Earth is proud to help bring this project together. Stay tuned as we turn these materials into a strong, functional retaining-wall system that complements this amazing setting.

I had a little fun creating this animated video to show what goes into building a retaining wall that lasts.

A retaining wall isn’t just a stack of blocks. The right base preparation, drainage, reinforcement, backfill, and compaction all matter. Cutting corners on any of these can lead to leaning, cracking, washouts, and expensive repairs.

After more than 35 years in the retaining-wall industry, I put that field experience into my book, Retaining Walls That Work: A Practical Field Guide to Design, Drainage, and Construction.

BIG CANOE — COMPLETE.

From Day 1 to the final block.

This video tells the story better than words ever could. It starts where we started and follows the transformation all the way through to the finished project.

Three retaining walls.
Approximately 1,500 square feet of wall.
Massive excavation.
Geogrid reinforcement.
Truckload after truckload of backfill.
Countless lifts of compaction.
Engineering, testing, drainage, grading—and a whole lot of hard work.

There were rain delays, difficult soils, excavation challenges and plenty of logistics to work through along the way. But we kept moving forward.

Today, we can finally stand back and look at the finished product.

The scale of these walls is hard to appreciate until you see them from the front—and even harder to appreciate without seeing everything that went into building them from the ground up.

That’s why I put this montage together.

From the first excavation to the final block.

I’m extremely proud of what our crew accomplished on this one.

Another project in the books for Armored Earth LLC.

Built right. Built to last. Built to outlast.

Not every day on a retaining wall project is about stacking block.

Today’s focus was on what most people never see—but what makes the difference between a wall that lasts and one that fails.

Truckload after truckload of engineered backfill…
Lift after lift…
Compaction after compaction…

Every layer is placed, compacted, and verified before moving on. That’s the foundation of a retaining wall built to perform for decades.

This 6-minute drone video gives you a bird’s-eye view of the process and the incredible scale of the Big Canoe project. Seeing all three walls from above really puts this job into perspective.

The finished wall gets all the attention, but it’s the work behind the wall that earns our reputation.

Built right. Built to last.

Some projects are just too big to appreciate from the ground…

This morning’s drone flight over our Big Canoe retaining wall project really puts the size of this job into perspective. From the air, you can finally see how all three walls tie together and just how much earth they’re retaining.

Every block, every lift of backfill, and every layer of geogrid is part of a system designed to perform for decades—not just look good on day one.

We’re proud of the progress our crew has made, and we’re excited to share a view that most people never get to see.

This is why I invested in a drone—to give you a better look at the craftsmanship, planning, and engineering that go into every Armored Earth project.

Built to last. Built by Armored Earth.
