While installing retaining walls in your landscape, you would want to balance aesthetics with their functional value. After all, the very purpose of these installations is to incorporate the natural slope of the area. While brick and stone have been the traditional materials used for building retaining walls, concrete has emerged as a more versatile choice. Ultimately, this material is sturdier than most other components, and it delivers better functional value. In terms of endurance, strength, and resistance to weather conditions, concrete retaining walls fulfill every parameter.

Compliments Other Hardscape

The visual appeal of your landscaped garden or green zones largely depends on the hardscape elements you are incorporating. Concrete walls can complement other hardscaping features in your garden. Think of your gazebos, benches, fountains, and other hardscape materials. Our experts will help you visualize the finished look of the garden at the outset before working on the retaining walls. In the end, you would have a cohesive look around your home to enhance the appearance of your garden.

Allows for Varying Ground Levels

With concrete retaining walls, you can enjoy varying ground levels to optimize the available space for landscaping. Here are some ideas that would help you in this endeavor.

• Many gardeners deploy concrete walls to create terraced zones. You, too, can go for this design and use this space for planting. Particularly, if the landscape of your garden is sloping, you might find it difficult to make the best use of your space. Retaining walls made of concrete can be a viable solution in these cases.
• You might also use a small concrete retaining wall as a flower bed. With more ground levels available, simply mix the soil that is friendly to flowering plants.

Retains Soil, Lawns, Gardens

Particularly, properties located at the bottom of hills are susceptible to the risk of soil erosion. This threat gets amplified during wind and rain. Your garden soil can get eroded during poor weather conditions unless you have robust retaining walls. Soil erosion can also lead to landslides and mudslides, which would mess up your garden. It would also weaken the structural integrity of your property and block your drainage system. With a powerful retaining wall, you can get adequate protection against these risks.

Enable Control of Water Flows

By controlling the flow of water, the retaining walls made of concrete can prevent flooding. In the first place, these walls serve as a barrier that prevents water from flowing into your property. Particularly, during rainy and stormy weather conditions, the walls direct the water away from your residence. They also prevents moisture from accumulating in the low areas of your property.
