Thinking about a retaining wall for your Orlando area home or business? The big questions, what is the best material for an attractive retaining wall that won’t cost a small fortune?
There are many reasons why a property needs a retaining wall
Prevent erosion: If you have a sloped in your yard, have an erosion or storm water runoff problems, a retaining is a great solution. It is designed to hold back the weight of soil and defend against erosion.
Add Architectural Interest: Whether it’s a home or business, a retaining wall can add interest, provide a contrast in the landscape, create a dramatic entrance, increase property value, and draw the attention of visitors. It can gain further interest with height and texture of natural stone. Some retaining wall styles include the appearance of stacked stone with serrated edges, natural look of marble and travertine, the rich, elegant visual appeal of natural cobblestone, and the inlays in marble and semi precious stones in Stucco.
Define Landscape Areas: From creating a separate raised beds for plants, multi-tiered retaining wall for a sloped area, to defining a patio area, or a foundation for a seating area, the opportunities are almost endless. They can also screen out unwanted views and provide privacy from buildings or parking lots.
