What Is A Retaining Wall?

Retaining walls are structures that hold soil in place, often used where extra support is needed to prevent downhill movement or erosion. These walls can also add layered design elements into a landscape that bring dimension to your property. 

The team at JM Lawn and Landscape Maintenance can construct the perfect retaining wall for your lawn’s needs and design preferences. From interlocking blocks to stone and more, we have you covered. 

Why Does Your Yard Need a Retaining Wall?

Retaining walls are often undervalued by property owners and are rarely considered as an important aspect of overall plant health. However, these structures serve many benefits aside from landscape aesthetic and versatility. They include the following:

Managed Runoff & Downhill Erosion– Retaining walls can help manage and limit the flow of water throughout your landscaping. This allows rainwater to nourish your lawn and landscape more evenly. Furthermore, a retaining wall can help keep your land level, limiting downhill erosion by lessening its slope.

Leveled Landscaping on Hills or Uneven Land – A retaining wall can allow even the most heavily-sloped land to incorporate flat landscaping techniques. To do so, professionals will layer walls that vary in level and scale. This adds depth to a property while offering functional benefits to the health of its plant life.

Added Useable Space – Retaining walls can add more useable space to a property by leveling out a plot of land, limiting a slope or putting an end to a slope altogether. Furthermore, the space around a retaining wall can offer stunning design options for outdoor entertainment and seating.
