Landscape Retaining Walls

Style, shape and size of retaining wall block are also used in the design process. The desired slope of your landscaped area will determine the size and shape of your retaining wall. Before, it was just a yard with a hill and a few trees. Now, that yard has been transformed by beautiful retaining walls that harmonize with nature around it.

A segmental retaining wall system combines the stringent design requirements of engineered retaining walls with the beauty of architectural landscaping. Segmental retaining walls are available in units of various sizes and weights, making it possible to construct a retaining wall in the oddest of places. If you have curves or other unique layouts, you will have no trouble installing a segmental retaining wall system. Segmental retaining walls are so versatile that they are ideal for both heavy-duty walls in commercial projects and smaller sites in residential backyards.
