The Advantages of Landscaping with Retaining Walls

Retaining wall blocks have a number of practical applications depending on what you are planning on using them for. They are an ideal way to stop soil from shifting in your garden, can smooth out ugly dirt mounds and hills, and can even do a lot to keep your property and its structures protected from being worn down by the runoff of dirt. Besides these, there are many advantages to including retaining walls to your landscape design, and here are just a few pique your interest. So, if you have been considering an overhaul in your yard or property, here are some of the ways that retaining walls will give your next project a bit of functional character.

Keeping Soil in Place
As the days go on and the weather changes, wind and rain will shuffle the soil in your garden around, particularly where the dirt may have been eroded in the past from a lack of vegetation. This may lead to eye-sores, baron soil or even sink-holes and structural problems on your property. By using retaining walls, however, this soil will be held in place, bringing beauty, strength and practicality into your landscape design.

Practical Landscaping
For many landscaping projects, working your way around rolling hills and steady inclines can be a challenge. They may get in the way, present a danger of sliding or collapsing, or simply may not work out well with the other elements of your design. Retaining walls provide a practical solution to this, supporting excess soil while making uneven ground a great addition to your landscape, and can ensure that it will continue to do so for extended periods of time, often making them the landscaper’s best friend.

Help Prevent Soil Erosion
Without adequate support, the soil in your garden will likely shuffle around with the presence of wind and rain. This is particularly true for dry earth that has been damaged by erosion. Fortunately, by installing retaining walls on your property, you will give the soil a means to be irrigated while still holding it in place, preventing damage from further erosion.

Protecting the Surrounding Structures
One of the major advantages behind retaining walls lies in their power to keep your property and its structures protected from being eroded by the runoff of dirt. Although this may not cause damage immediately, over time it will make short work of the integrity of your structures. By installing retaining walls, you will be eliminating this runoff from your property, which means that your structures will enjoy a longer, more integral life.
