Retaining Walls
Function meets Style
While most barely notice them or only appreciate the aesthetics of a beautifully done retaining wall, it’s important to note their overall role in battling gravity and managing erosion!
Benefits of well-done retaining walls include:
Providing level, usable land
Managing water run-off
Provide extra seating
Controlling erosion
Protecting your home’s foundation
Enhancing your landscape design
Types of retaining walls to consider
Timber Walls
This wood option is the least expensive but may not last as long
Limestone
This natural stone is the most expensive but also the most attractive
Boulder walls
Achieve a natural, rustic look with variety and texture
Concrete Blocks
Most common type of wall with many color and style options
Incorporating a retaining wall into your landscape plan can enhance the overall aesthetic, provide transitions, back drops, and function as additional seating! Neher typically sources our retaining wall and freestanding block and systems from Watkins.
