BENEFITS OF RETAINING WALLS

Have you been thinking of installing a retaining wall for your house or

business? Retaining walls are not only for creating a beautiful landscape,

but also serve some functionality. The benefits of retaining walls include

erosion control, flooding prevention, and adding value to your residence.

BENEFITS:

Added Home Value

Wide Variety of Choices

Low Maintenance and Durable

Highly Functional

Ecologically Friendly

Reduce Damage

ADDED HOME VALUE

Many home improvements will increase the overallvalue of your home, and a retaining wall is noexception. Adding a retaining wall is an easy,affordable way to increase your home's value. Ifyou're adding a wall of natural materials to yourgarden, you'll find it easy to make adjustments orchange the wall if necessary. Another way retainingwalls increase your home's value is by addingversatility to the space around your house; if youchoose to have separate vegetable and flowergardens, for example, you can separate them with asimple and attractive rock wall.

WIDE VARIETY OF CHOICES

Aside from the vast selection of rock types and

other materials from which to create your retaining

wall, there are also several different methods of

construction. You may choose to build a gabion wall

(a stone-filled mesh fit to shape), a dry stack wall

(made from stones without mortar, so they can be

moved), or a traditional stone-and-mortar wall. You

may also choose to build your wall from

ecologically friendly products that are equally hardy,

as well as being economical and kind to the planet.

LOW MAINTENANCE AND DURABLE

Retaining walls are extremely low maintenance; once you

have constructed the wall you want, you really don't have to

do anything else to keep it up, unless you use a dry stack

wall and plan on moving the stones around occasionally. The

level of maintenance you desire is up to you, but it's safe to

say you can leave your wall alone once you've built it to your

liking. Retaining walls made of natural products are meant to

stand up to harsh weather conditions, so they rarely, if ever,

require repair. Walls made of natural materials are often local

to the area, so the materials are accustomed to weather

conditions. You won't have to spend time or money replacing

or repairing your wall, making it a great investment.

HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL

Retaining walls are very functional; once it's

constructed properly, a wall can withstand tons of

weight. When built correctly, a retaining wall can

hold back earth or water for decades without any

problems or maintenance. Walls can provide

structural slope retention from 50 to 70 degrees.

You can use them to create space-saving, eye-

catching vertical gardens, and many of the

environmentally-friendly walls are installed faster

and more economically than traditional walls.

ECOLOGICALLY FRIENDLY

Many ecologically-minded consumers are turning

toward naturally-built retaining walls, because they

use up to 50% less concrete than traditional walls.

They also result in reduced disruption to the natural

vegetation of the area, and reduce storm water

runoff. Retaining walls made of sustainable

products are as long-lasting, beautiful, and

affordable as traditional walls, but fit in better with

the natural surroundings of your home, and have

less of an impact on the environment.

Adding a retaining wall to your property is a beautiful,

simple, and durable solution to your landscaping problems,

whether you wish to make an attractive addition to your

home to increase its resale value, or you need to hold back

some earth or water and want an appealing option.

Choosing green materials for your retaining wall is a great

way to improve your environment while improving your

home's appearance and value.

REDUCE DAMAGE

Do you have beautiful landscaping that keeps getting

destroyed by either the mower or by people walking on it?

Retaining walls are able to minimize this damage by

encouraging others to go around the landscaping. When

mowing, you don’t need to worry about accidentally running

over your plants when trying to mow the edge.
