There are so many choices, but we’re here to guide you. Keep reading for some tips!
Think About the Type of Wall
Before you sign a contract with a hardscape contractor, think about the material that will best suit your wall. Here we offer construction block customized with stone veneer because it’s one of the most aesthetically pleasing and durable choices. Wood and timber walls typically aren’t used because they aren’t suitable for longevity. It can warp over time. With proper installation and maintenance, a stone veneer wall can last a lifetime.
Decide How You Will Use the Wall
Some homeowners create a sitting area for them and their families. This idea is one way to get the most out of your retaining wall. Incorporating your family’s lifestyle into your design techniques is makes your investment even more worthwhile.
Make Your Retaining Wall More Artistic
While this hardscape adds structure to your home, it does not have to be boring. Do you want to make your outdoor living space more artistic and creative? What you can do is add a garden or water features to your wall to make it stand out. Stone veneer is the perfect accessory to a garden and water features.
Be Mindful of Height
You don’t want the wall to be too high because this could be a safety hazard. It could also result in receiving a fine from your municipality or someone could injure themselves on your property.
Determine Drainage
Not planning for drainage could result in standing water. Adding gravel and fabric to the base of the wall will help with water runoff. The point of a retaining wall is to help with flooding, not exasperate it.
