An important part of any landscaping design in a sloped area is the use of retaining walls.

Retaining walls do just that – they retain, or hold, soil behind it. This prevents soil erosion,  maintaining the look and integrity of the earth behind it. It should also beautify the aesthetic of the outdoor design as well.

The walls – which may be made of poured concrete, concrete blocks, natural stone, boulders or treated wood – can serve as a center of attention or as a complementary piece to the landscaping.

 Benefits of retaining walls include:

  • Serves as support to keep soil in place
  • Helps prevent sinkholes caused by water erosion
  • Flood prevention
  • Minimizes maintenance of eroded soil
  • Protects surrounding structures, preventing damage to property
