Wonderful Benefits of Retaining Walls
For some homeowners, a retaining wall is usually included in the landscape for aesthetic purposes. But, in the landscaping industry, incorporating retaining walls in the overall design of a property’s landscape plan ushers some wonderful benefits.
Here are some of the biggest aesthetic and practical benefits of retaining walls:
- Keeps soil erosion at bay. Perhaps among the most important benefits of having a retaining wall is that it effectively prevents soil erosion. By experience, retaining walls are extremely helpful, more so if your property’s landscape has a lot of uneven slopes and loose soil. Accordingly, there are some areas that need to be controlled to prevent erosion and cause damage to other landscape elements. These usually include your putting greens, pools, driveways, patios, and other landscape elements that could erode.
- Beautifies the landscape. Apart from the obvious utilitarian use, retaining walls are known to enhance the natural beauty of landscapes. With the right design and perfect materials, you can easily add some much-needed touch of timeless beauty to your landscape.
- Puts into good use all available land area. Retaining walls are perfect when you want to maximize all vacant spaces in your property. When you have a retaining wall, say, near your small pond or garden, you can easily connect that retaining wall to a pergola or patio. This way, no area will be wasted.
The Right Retaining Wall for your Landscape
When it comes to having retaining walls as part of your landscape plan, you should never take any chances. Poorly designed retaining walls can cause accidents and damages to your landscape.
Moreover, there are various types of retaining walls that you can choose from. These retaining wall types require appropriate skills, tools, and planning to get the results that you want.
- Gravity walls. These retaining walls are perfect for properties that have unstable soil. Gravity walls are known to effectively hold back soil from crumbling down or eroding, hence keeping your family safe.
- Reinforced retaining walls. These walls incorporate reinforcement bars to ensure optimum stability and support. Reinforced retaining walls are perfect if you’re the type of homeowner who’s big on safety and security.
- Brick masonry retaining walls. These walls are perfect for property owners who want to achieve a classic look for their landscape.
