Uses for a Retaining Wall

While a retaining wall might seem like a pretty simple structure, and it is, there are a surprising number of ways that this feature can be put to use on your property. With a little bit of strategy and some careful planning, you can get a lot out of even a relatively small wall. Here are some of the ways retaining walls can be utilized –

• Make sloped ground more useful. If you have a property that slopes significantly in one direction or another, it might be hard to get any meaningful use out of that land. By adding a retaining wall, you can divide the slope up into two (or more) sections, and then flatten those sections to open up many new possibilities. For example, if one side of the area is five feet lower than the other side, you might take up three feet of that drop with a retaining wall. Then, there is only a two-foot drop left to deal with, so each section of ground can slope down by a single foot – this gentle slope will make mowing grass, planting flowers, or anything else far more manageable.
• Create visual interest. There is also a nice contrast that can be created through the use of a retaining wall. Adding a wall made of attractive concrete blocks can bring a new texture and color to the landscape design, helping you to achieve a look that you can love for years to come.
• Divide planting areas. For the avid gardener, it’s nice to have divided, controlled areas in which to do your planting. There are plenty of ways to divide up your property, but few will do it as effectively as a retaining wall. In some cases, if you don’t have much of a slope to deal with, the retaining wall might be quite short – but it will still serve an important purpose and will make your planting easier and more enjoyable.
• Solve drainage issues. Standing water on your property can be frustrating, as it makes the land harder to use and might do harm to your plants. Again here, a retaining wall can come to the rescue, as it can reshape the land in a way that allows it to drain more effectively.

Skip the DIY Approach

Once you have decided that you would like to add a retaining wall to your property, you’ll need to determine who is going to do the work. It might be tempting to take the DIY route but think twice before committing to such a big project. In addition to needing to source and move the blocks, which are quite heavy, there is plenty of prep work that also needs to be done. You’ll have to move quite a bit of earth to prepare the site for the retaining wall to be constructed. Instead of taking on all of that on your own, turn the project over to North Idaho Pavers and just sit back while we bring the vision to life.

Safety Concerns

There is also an important safety role for a retaining wall to play on your property. If you have land with a slope that seems like it might be unstable, especially during the wet time of year, a retaining wall could be a great way to stabilize that area and make sure no unexpected land movement occurs later on. A good design can achieve the desired stabilization while also looking great and making the landscape more attractive as a whole.
