ASTM A606‑2 is widely used in outdoor landscape architecture because of its natural rust‑like patina, good weather resistance, and structural performance. Its typical applications include:
 
Decorative landscape walls and retaining walls
 
Used for garden retaining walls, feature walls, and boundary walls. The stable rust color provides a strong natural texture and blends well with plants, stone, and wood.
