DO I NEED A RETAINING WALL ON MY PROPERTY?

Do you want to increase your home’s curb appeal? Would you like more usable space in your backyard? Do you want a more aesthetically pleasing garden?

If you answered yes to most of these questions, then you probably need a retaining wall. Retaining walls add a functional dimension to your property no doubt. They aid in preventing run-off water from flooding your backyard, they provide a support system for your driveway, patio and tool shed. They are also key in stabilising soil on hillsides. Here are our top five reasons why you should get a retaining wall installed on your property

1. Prevent debris and water from flooding your property

Many homeowners choose to have retaining walls installed to prevent soil, debris, and rain water from flooding their backyards. If your home is surrounded with sloping land, then you’re a prime candidate for getting retaining walls installed. They’ll act as a buffer to keep runoff and soil from accumulating around your house, especially after rain storms.

2. Create multi-tiered garden beds across your backyard

Are you looking for creative ways to breakup your backyard? If yes, then retaining walls might just be what you’re looking for. Retaining walls are ideal for breaking up slopes in your backyard and can help you create a multi-tiered look like we’ve done in the following projects - Kensington and Cove.

3. Increase functional space in your garden

When land is sloped, it’s difficult to work with it. However, if you section it using retaining walls you can increase the amount of functional space you have. Installing retaining walls in your backyard is an investment which will pay out if you ever decide to sell your property. An attractive backyard can significantly increase the value of your property.

4. Retaining walls help to increase the beauty of your backyard

Retaining walls are aesthetically pleasing to look at. If you’ve ever seen a well-kept backyard, it probably had some sort of retaining wall. Retaining walls are so functional and yet so understated. 

5. Create unique seating areas for your barbecues

Retaining walls can also provide another service: extra seating area for your family and guests during barbecues. Before installing your retaining walls, it would be a good idea to sit down with a landscape artist to design and craft an appealing design for your backyard. They can also help you to choose the right kind of retaining wall that allows seating space for your guests.
