Retaining Walls
Transform Your Yard With a Beautiful Retaining Wall
Retaining walls are structures designed to hold back soil or other materials and prevent erosion or the collapse of a slope, which are common in the Pacific Northwest. Retaining walls are typically made of stone, concrete, or brick, and can vary in height and design. In addition to their practical function, retaining walls can also be used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your landscape.

Benefits of Retaining Walls
- Prevent Soil Erosion: Retaining walls can help prevent soil erosion which can be caused by rainwater as well as sprinkler/irrigation systems.
- Enhance Aesthetics: Retaining walls can add depth and dimension to your landscape design. By incorporating different materials, textures, and colors, you can create a visually appealing feature that complements the overall style of your property.
- Increase Property Value: Retaining walls can increase the value of your property by creating usable space and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of your landscaping.
- Improve Drainage: If your property has poor drainage, retaining walls can redirect water and prevent soil erosion caused by runoff.
