Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are versatile landscape features that can serve multiple purposes at the same time. So, you can never assess the true value of installing a retaining wall on your property. From controlling erosion to managing water drainage to creating a safe and secure boundary, there are many reasons for getting these features installed by the right professionals.

They are most often made of natural stone and create a definition or border for your landscape. The benefits of this structure are undeniable, but you must always ensure professional and proper planning and installation.

This is where we at Oakswood Turf & Hardscape come into the picture. Our hardscape and landscape design and build services are available throughout Tucson, AZ.

Key Benefits of Retaining Walls

Some of the most important reasons for getting retaining walls installed on your property are as follows:

Prevent Soil Erosion

Besides preventing soil erosion, well-designed and installed retaining walls can also provide flood control. Erosion is a common problem with most landscapes. Retaining walls are a must-have for your landscape, especially if you have extremely limited shrubs and trees for holding the soil together. These structures also reduce the surface runoff, as they reduce sharp gradients.

Beautiful Addition

The choice of the right material can make retaining walls to be beautiful additions to your landscape. These stone or concrete structures can create a contrasting effect against on your natural landscape.

Coping options allow retaining walls to also work as seating walls. All that is needed is to build them to the right height. From modern to more traditional designs, you can have a retaining wall installed to flow naturally with other landscaping features.

Supportive Structure

Retaining walls can hold soil in place. This is a significant advantage that protects your landscape and property from slow damage. This benefit becomes even more profound when you have small hills alongside your landscape. Rain can speed up soil degradation. Installing a retaining wall can work as a safety measure to protect your yard and home.

Add Functional Space

Mounds and hills can be beautiful features in or around your landscape. But they also tend to consume space. Retaining walls can be built in sequence to create terraces. This can add more usable space to your yard.
