Retaining Walls
Why Retaining Walls may be the Perfect Fit
Retaining walls are all over the place. They are used at schools, homes and businesses alike. But until you realize that you actually need a retaining wall, chances are that you haven’t paid attention to them at all. We will build a custom retaining wall for you.
Here is a look at what a retaining wall really is and whether or not having one designed and built for you may be the perfect answer to beautify your house, as well as landscaping.
Function of a Retaining Wall
Retaining walls can usually be seen when an area is in need of extra support to help prevent some type of downhill slide. Essentially, a retaining wall is designed to go to battle with gravity, helping to offset any lateral force from the slope it is retaining.
Other benefits of a retaining wall
Retaining walls Provide more usable land
With a retaining wall, you can easily create a terrace of usable space on a slope. In fact, retaining walls have been used since the beginning of time. For example, all throughout South American civilizations, retaining walls have been used to create agricultural terraces, growing lush produce, and creating more usable space for special ceremonies. While your retaining wall is more than likely going to be designed on a much smaller scale, a retaining wall is the perfect way to level out your yard and enhance the appeal of your yard.
Retaining walls Help manage water runoff
A retaining wall will help slowdown the flow of rainwater. This is important as it can help with the utility of your lawn and garden care.
Retaining walls are a great way to add extra seating
Once you have your retaining wall designed and installed, it can become a great place for people to sit when you are having gatherings in your backyard, or even seating while you are doing landscaping work. It can easily become your favorite place to have a nice sit and chat.
Do You Need a Retaining Wall?
There are several different reasons why you may want to get a retaining wall designed and installed for your yard. One of the most common is to control any downhill erosion that may be occurring. Retaining walls are great for minimizing any erosion as they hold back dirt and soil, as well as decrease the angle of the slope.
Another reason you may need a retaining wall is if a landslide threatens your home. Erosion is a huge threat to the foundation of your home. When the soil starts building up around the foundation of your home, this is bad. A retaining wall is the perfect solution to helping prevent this from happening. In fact, a retaining wall is almost a necessity if you are downhill or on any type of slope.
While they’re numerous reasons why you may need a retaining wall, the best thing to do is consult your local professional and have them design and install one for you. It will not only keep your home safe, but will give you piece of mind and the protection you need from the slope or hill as well.
