Retaining Wall Contractor

One major advantage of using concrete blocks to build retaining walls is they are strong and durable. meaning your wall will withstand the roughest weather conditions. Concrete blocks are also flexible and can be used for almost any design configuration. Blocks can be hollow or solid, they both prevent soil erosion.

Another advantage of block retaining walls is they create a natural drainage system where rainwater flows naturally through the cracks and crevices between the blocks. Soil is held in by the wall, and the weight of the concrete blocks allows water through but not the soil.

Natural stone can be found in many colors, textures, and sizes. This makes it easier to match other visual aspects of your landscaping project. Stone is also appealing to some homeowners because no two stones are the same and this lends itself to a more natural looking aesthetic. 

For environmentally conscious homeowners, stone is a good choice as it can be repurposed in many ways, and it is a naturally formed material.

For retaining walls that are near a lake, river or other moving water, rip rap stone is commonly used. These are rocks that range from about 4 inches to 2 feet long, and they help prevent erosion from water or inclement weather.

Retaining walls can also be built out of wood. This is a good option if you are on a limited budget. Wood retainer walls are relatively straightforward to construct and install. A wood retainer wall can be stained or painted to blend into your landscape more naturally. Some homeowners use wood retaining walls to construct planter boxes to add more beauty to their landscape.
