Retaining Wall Plans
A retaining wall has to hold back real soil pressure, so slope, drainage, and existing structures all need to line up before you pour anything. ArcSite's retaining wall plan template lets you mark site conditions and wall dimensions on one drawing.

Key Features
This retaining wall plan includes:
- Annotated existing buildings, trees, and stone or block walls
- Color-coded markers for walls to be removed versus retained
- Exact measurements between key site points
- Callouts for wall height, length, and material specs
- Notes on tree removal, asphalt fill, and slope changes
Walls marked for removal use a different color than walls staying in place, a distinction worth getting right before a crew shows up expecting to demo the wrong section.

Key Considerations When Designing a Retaining Wall
Designing a retaining wall means balancing structural integrity with slope grade, water runoff, and soil pressure, while accounting for nearby buildings, trees, and pathways. In ArcSite, you can label site features clearly and mark which walls will remain, be removed, or get added.
