There are many reasons why you might want to install a new retaining wall on your premises. One very popular usage is to prevent the erosion of topsoil, and to keep this soil in place so that it doesn’t run off after a heavy rainfall. There are other types of retaining walls which are smaller and more modest in their construction, which simply create an area where the ground is elevated relative to its surroundings.
These types of smaller retaining walls are often used as flower beds or areas where shrubs can be planted to improve the appearance of your property. If you think a retaining wall might add value and aesthetic appeal to your premises, you should contact us at Native Steps & Retaining Walls, because we have a number of experts who are adept at installing these kinds of retaining walls to help beautify your property.
Typically, a retaining wall is a structure which can keep in the soil behind it, and it is often used to provide a solid structure between two different levels of landscape which might occur in close proximity. For instance, you might have a patio area in your backyard which is directly adjacent to a higher level of ground, perhaps three to five feet above the level of the patio.
The best way to accommodate these differences in elevation is to install a retaining wall which will hold back the soil from the higher ground, and ensure that it doesn’t trickle down into the lower elevation. It’s generally not advisable to use wood materials for the installation of a new retaining wall, because these will gradually decompose over time, and their value in terms of soil retention will have been lost.
In general, it’s much better to use stone or concrete materials in the construction of a retaining wall, because these will not be subject to deterioration when exposed to moisture and elements in the soil.
