In addition to adding visual interest, retaining walls are often used to control erosion, manage runoff, or create level spaces for patios, gardens, or structures. Retaining walls can be used to literally sculpt the landscape and transform unusable hills into outdoor living spaces.
Not everyone understands how to plan or build a retaining wall correctly. Mistakes in the design or construction of retaining walls can create serious headaches (particularly water problems) for you or your neighbors. Southview Design brings superior landscaping expertise to every project, often solving problems in advance that competitors don’t foresee. While there are a variety of landscaping walls, below are common types you might consider:
Burly boulder walls that hold back tons of earth without breaking a sweat.
To manage sloping hills, modular block walls can be curved, straight, or tiered; formal or informal.
Seat walls are a convenient seating option in the Minnesota landscape design around a patio or fire pit.
Natural stone creates an old-world look. Some stacked stone walls have lasted for centuries.
