What Is The Purpose of A Retaining Wall Installation In Your Garden?
The Prevention of Soil Erosion
Perhaps the most important purpose of a retaining wall is to prevent soil erosion in your garden. Without a retaining wall in place, exposed slopes of soil or rocks are subject to erosion as a consequence of driving wind and rain. Not only is this an inconvenience, but it can also make for a ‘messy’ look to the edge of your garden. Retaining walls hold the soil in place, ensuring that it doesn’t move about, or spill over into the rest of your garden.
A Better Use of Space
In addition to this, a garden retaining wall can create a more usable space for homeowners. An exposed slope is difficult to work with, and can be difficult to use as a flowerbed or vegetable patch. In contrast, a retaining wall (or multiple retaining walls) creates a flat surface (or series of flat surfaces) that can be used as flowerbeds.
An Interesting Landscaping Feature
Retaining walls are also a visually interesting addition to garden landscaping. Garden installations such as retaining walls add a decorative border to the garden, giving it a more ‘polished’ look. These installations can then be embellished with beautiful landscaping to provide an eye-catching feature.
The Prevention of Flooding
Another big advantage of a retaining wall installation is its assistance in drainage and flooding concerns. Particularly if you live in an area that is subject to wet weather, a retaining wall can improve the drainage of the area and prevent the garden from getting waterlogged.
A Protection for Surrounding Structures
Retaining walls also offer protection for surrounding structures. A wall can act to reduce the amount of driving wind and rain that hits other garden installations such as sheds, reducing wear and tear and increasing their longevity.
