TOP CONSIDERATIONS FOR YOUR RETAINING WALL – DO NOT IGNORE ANY OF THESE!

Are you doing a backyard renovation and thinking of adding a retaining wall?

Everyone seems to be renovating their homes or backyards these days. With the advent of technology, we see so many people going online and attempting to do-things themselves. While there is nothing wrong with this, where retaining walls are concerned, we’ve noticed several things that could be done better. So we thought we should point these things out. Here are our top considerations for your retaining wall.

1. Choose the length and height appropriately

If all the homes in your neighborhood have retaining walls and everyone has followed a set standard, and length and it’s significantly improved the curb appeal of the homes, it might be a good idea to follow suit with an appropriate retaining wall of similar height. Don’t go too low, or too high. Extremes are never a good idea. Remember that what you do with your property can affect the entire neighborhood’s property value. You might want to think seriously about that.

2. Select the right textures and colours

Retaining walls are now available in a variety of textures and colours. Unless you’re running a day care centre, avoid bright coloured retaining walls that’ll draw too much attention. Especially if your neighbours have all chosen colours that are neutral. You don’t want to be known as the neighbour with the weird taste in retaining walls.A good way to choose a texture and colour for your retaining wall is to take into consideration your house’s current style. You can consult with retaining wall experts if you’re not sure which textures and colours would complement your home.

3. Who’ll construct the retaining wall?

While installing retaining walls isn’t rocket science, it’s not a job that should be taken lightly. If you’ve never done any previous construction work, you might want to get someone else to help you who actually knows what they are doing.
