Retaining Walls
Retaining walls prevents soil erosion and stabilizes slopes, creating usable space and adding visual interest to your landscape. T & T Hardscape and Masonry offers various retaining wall options to suit your needs and aesthetic preferences.
Retaining Wall Options
Some popular retaining wall types we offer include the following:- 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.
- EP Henry Walls: Engineered for strength and beauty, EP Henry retaining wall blocks offer a versatile, cost-effective solution. These blocks come in various styles and colors, allowing you to create a modern or traditional aesthetic to complement your existing landscape. EP Henry walls are relatively quick to install and require minimal maintenance, making them popular for many homeowners.
- CMU Block Walls: CMU block walls are built with concrete masonry units and are a solid and affordable option for retaining walls. They offer excellent functionality and can be designed to various heights and shapes. While CMU blocks themselves may lack visual appeal, they can be painted or finished with veneers for a more aesthetically pleasing look.
Benefits of Retaining Walls
There are many reasons to install retaining walls, such as:- 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.
When we design and build retaining walls, we consider slope grade, drainage, aesthetics, and budget to get stunning, functional, and durable walls that add to your property’s value.
