A Solid Property Boundary Marker should be put up.
People sometimes need a clear line between their land and theirs, and a simple fence isn't enough. People might be getting into your yard, or they might be climbing your fence to get through. Both ways, a retaining wall can be a solid and clear property line to keep people from taking advantage of your land.

Reduce the Risk of Damage and Maintenance
Having a retaining wall can help cut down on the damage that flash floods and soil erosion can do. This is what we said above. Flash floods can destroy your landscaping and flood your basement, and soil can slide down and fill your lawn with silty soil if you don't keep it from happening. Keep in mind that without a retaining wall in place to keep these things from happening, it is more likely that you will need to do more maintenance. For example, you might have to fertilise your lawn to help it grow better, or you might have to replant your garden and flower beds because the soil is terrible. As a bonus, Sandstone Retaining Wall Sydney are low-maintenance structures that can be put in place and then forgotten about, making them even better.
