BENEFITS OF RETAINING WALLS
Have you been thinking of installing a retaining wall for your house or
business? Retaining walls are not only for creating a beautiful landscape,
but also serve some functionality. The benefits of retaining walls include
erosion control, flooding prevention, and adding value to your residence.
BENEFITS:
Added Home Value
Wide Variety of Choices
Low Maintenance and Durable
Highly Functional
Ecologically Friendly
Reduce Damage
ADDED HOME VALUE
Many home improvements will increase the overallvalue of your home, and a retaining wall is noexception. Adding a retaining wall is an easy,affordable way to increase your home's value. Ifyou're adding a wall of natural materials to yourgarden, you'll find it easy to make adjustments orchange the wall if necessary. Another way retainingwalls increase your home's value is by addingversatility to the space around your house; if youchoose to have separate vegetable and flowergardens, for example, you can separate them with asimple and attractive rock wall.
WIDE VARIETY OF CHOICES
Aside from the vast selection of rock types and
other materials from which to create your retaining
wall, there are also several different methods of
construction. You may choose to build a gabion wall
(a stone-filled mesh fit to shape), a dry stack wall
(made from stones without mortar, so they can be
moved), or a traditional stone-and-mortar wall. You
may also choose to build your wall from
ecologically friendly products that are equally hardy,
as well as being economical and kind to the planet.
LOW MAINTENANCE AND DURABLE
Retaining walls are extremely low maintenance; once you
have constructed the wall you want, you really don't have to
do anything else to keep it up, unless you use a dry stack
wall and plan on moving the stones around occasionally. The
level of maintenance you desire is up to you, but it's safe to
say you can leave your wall alone once you've built it to your
liking. Retaining walls made of natural products are meant to
stand up to harsh weather conditions, so they rarely, if ever,
require repair. Walls made of natural materials are often local
to the area, so the materials are accustomed to weather
conditions. You won't have to spend time or money replacing
or repairing your wall, making it a great investment.
HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL
Retaining walls are very functional; once it's
constructed properly, a wall can withstand tons of
weight. When built correctly, a retaining wall can
hold back earth or water for decades without any
problems or maintenance. Walls can provide
structural slope retention from 50 to 70 degrees.
You can use them to create space-saving, eye-
catching vertical gardens, and many of the
environmentally-friendly walls are installed faster
and more economically than traditional walls.
ECOLOGICALLY FRIENDLY
Many ecologically-minded consumers are turning
toward naturally-built retaining walls, because they
use up to 50% less concrete than traditional walls.
They also result in reduced disruption to the natural
vegetation of the area, and reduce storm water
runoff. Retaining walls made of sustainable
products are as long-lasting, beautiful, and
affordable as traditional walls, but fit in better with
the natural surroundings of your home, and have
less of an impact on the environment.
Adding a retaining wall to your property is a beautiful,
simple, and durable solution to your landscaping problems,
whether you wish to make an attractive addition to your
home to increase its resale value, or you need to hold back
some earth or water and want an appealing option.
Choosing green materials for your retaining wall is a great
way to improve your environment while improving your
home's appearance and value.
REDUCE DAMAGE
Do you have beautiful landscaping that keeps getting
destroyed by either the mower or by people walking on it?
Retaining walls are able to minimize this damage by
encouraging others to go around the landscaping. When
mowing, you don’t need to worry about accidentally running
over your plants when trying to mow the edge.
