Retaining Walls

Retaining Wall Options

• Natural Stone Walls: These walls offer a timeless and rustic beauty, blending seamlessly with natural surroundings. Natural stone comes in various colors, textures, and sizes, allowing for a customized and visually striking design. However, natural stone walls require a skilled mason for proper installation and may be more expensive than other options.
  
  
• Boulder Walls: A bolder and more dramatic statement piece, boulder walls add a touch of grandeur and natural elegance to your landscape. These walls are made with large, natural stones and offer exceptional strength and drainage, making them ideal for slopes prone to significant erosion. However, boulder walls require a larger footprint and may not be suitable for smaller spaces.

Benefits of Retaining Walls

• Slope Stabilization: The primary function of a retaining wall is to hold back soil on slopes, preventing erosion and potential landslides. They help maintain the integrity of your landscape and protect your property from damage.
• Usable Space Creation: Retaining walls can transform unusable slopes into functional and beautiful outdoor spaces. They can create level areas for patios, gardens, or even additional living areas, maximizing the functionality of your property.
• Improved Drainage: Properly designed retaining walls can improve drainage by channeling water away from your foundation and preventing soil saturation. This helps protect your home from water damage and foundation problems.
• Increased Property Value: A well-designed retaining wall can significantly enhance your property's curb appeal and functionality, potentially increasing your property value if you decide to sell.
