Landscape Retaining Walls
We specialize in designing and building landscape retaining walls that enhance both the functionality and beauty of outdoor spaces.
Flood Control Solution
The rain has arrived! It’s been a moist spring for many residents in the Hill Country, and numerous homeowners are confronting the genuine threat of home flooding. In regions prone to flooding, the installation of a retaining wall could mean the difference between a dry home and a submerged home. A well-built retaining wall not only prevents soil erosion but also safeguards against soil collapse. Here’s why a retaining wall should be on your radar for home improvement.
What Exactly is a Retaining Wall?
A retaining wall functions as a barrier that holds back soil. It’s commonly used to manage soil at varying elevations or to support terraced gardens and filled earth. Typically, retaining walls are crafted from materials such as concrete blocks, poured concrete, treated timber, natural stone, or boulders. For homeowners seeking an alternative to fencing that also offers privacy and redirects water flow, a retaining wall is an appealing choice.
Shield Against Flooding
Beyond soil containment and erosion prevention, a retaining wall can serve as a deterrent against floodwaters by channeling them toward the street. This means a retaining wall can shield your property from flood-related damage, including floating debris. For those tired of deploying sandbags every flood season, a retaining wall offers a more permanent solution.
Added Perks
Consider the process of digging a hole: as you excavate, some soil inevitably collapses back into the hole from the sides. Similarly, on a larger scale, land behaves in a similar manner—the sides are prone to crumbling. In regions with hilly or rolling terrain, a retaining wall aids in maximizing land utilization while enhancing landscape aesthetics and structural integrity. Moreover, in areas with heavy rainfall, a retaining wall is essential for preventing mudslides and ensuring soil stability.
