A retaining wall is an excellent investment in your landscape, adding interest to your design and allowing you to get even more use out of your land. Retaining walls also happen to be the specialty of the contractors at Buzz Landscaping in Conway, AR. They explain everything you need to know before having one installed in your yard.

Retaining Walls Stabilize Soil

One of the primary uses for a retaining wall is to strengthen and stabilize topsoil to slow erosion on hilly properties. You can incorporate a terraced retaining wall into your sloped landscape, which will increase your garden space and add dimension to your property. They can also reinforce and separate your driveway from the rest of your yard.

Terraced Walls Require a Landscaping Professional

If you go with the terraced option, a drainage system is necessary to prevent water from compromising the wall’s integrity; this requires some engineering knowledge. In general, any wall over four feet should be designed and built by a landscaping professional, as they need pipes, batters, footings, and other structural components that aren’t easy to install without the proper training.

Walls Can Have Varied Designs

Walls don’t have to be straight — they can fit any design you wish, adding interest to your landscape as well as providing utilitarian value. Retaining walls can be built from a variety of materials, including natural stone, manufactured blocks and bricks, poured concrete, and interlocking concrete. Afterward, they can be stained in a color of your choosing or paved with an earthy stucco.
