Today I'll show you how I built a cheap Gabion retaining wall to protect my property from flooding and erosion. During thaws and heavy rains, the "Rio Brandon River" which is a fun fictitious name that I gave to a runoff stream in my back yard, has a potential to overflow it's banks, causing unwanted water to flow onto my yard. Hopefully, this wall will protect my property from this water, which has been known to cause problems.
