It helps retain the soil behind it, while adding some interesting visual appeal to the garden. There are several different materials that could be used to create a retaining wall. Whatever your requirements, we’re happy to help.

Retaining walls have several benefits, making them a must-have for your yard.

A retaining wall is also used to add structural integrity to different parts of a landscape, especially if the area is contoured. They add visual appeal as well as value to your garden. We build retaining walls that have high structural integrity and strength, are visually appealing and are easy to maintain at the same time.

• Protect plants: The main purpose of retaining walls is to hold a bed of soil for a garden or flower bed. This will prevent the soil from shifting and uprooting your plants. The soil presses against the wall, but the wall helps resist it and holds the soil in one place.
• Prevent erosion: Because a retaining wall holds the soil, it greatly reduces the chance of soil erosion in your yard. Erosion can cause a muddy yard and other problems for your home, but retaining walls help prevent this, even in heavy rain.
• Ensure proper yard drainage: Retaining walls are designed to keep water flowing properly through your yard and prevent flooding. They can be combined with French drains to ensure any water that collects near the retaining wall will be carried safely away from your yard and home.
• Yard depth: Retaining walls add depth and different elevations to your yard. Built into your yard’s hills and depths, retaining walls can give you several places of outdoor living space. Place seating on top of your retaining wall for an elevated view. Outline your walkway with a retaining wall for a great-looking multi-level effect.
• Beauty: Retaining walls also simply look good! Retaining walls can be built out of a variety of stone materials like Pennsylvania stacked stone, brick, flagstone, wood, and much more. They can easily be combined with other landscaping and hardscaping elements to create a gorgeous look you love.
