Bring style and structure to your gardens with retaining walls
Retaining walls are often the unacknowledged heroes of landscape design. They add structure and style to your outdoor space and serve critical functions that go well beyond mere visual appeal.
Gardens, especially those on sloped land or near higher properties, can be susceptible to rainwater runoff and erosion. This can lead to soil degradation, plant damage, and even property damage without proper measures. Retaining walls prevent this and help you maximise the space available in your outdoor area.
The key benefits of a retaining wall for your garden
A retaining wall is a structure designed to retain soil behind it. These barriers are typically used on properties with varying elevations to prevent soil erosion and manage water drainage effectively. Here are just some of the benefits a well-built retaining wall can have for your property.
Improve Drainage
Build durable and aesthetically pleasing retaining walls that enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor spaces, providing essential support for sloped landscapes.
Enhance Appeal
Retaining walls add visual appeal to a garden. With the choice of various materials, including stone, brick, or wood, you can choose a rustic or sleek, modern design, depending on your style and taste.
Maximise Useable Space
Retaining walls can transform steep, unusable land into productive terraced levels. This tiered garden approach maximises planting options and creates greater depth, dimension, and structure to your outdoor area.
Prevent Water Damage
Retaining walls can help direct excess water away from your property, protecting your gardens and home from water runoff or encroaching water caused by rain, flooding and storm surges.
Control Erosion
One of the primary functions of a retaining wall is to prevent soil erosion. Retaining walls provide structure to your garden, acting as barriers that hold soil in place, minimising erosion and keeping your garden intact.
Improve Property Value
Potential buyers and tenants often view well-designed outdoor spaces as a signal of a well-kept property. The added curb appeal and practical benefits make them a worthwhile investment.
