Aesthetics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Along with being something that benefits the support and well-being of your yard, it can make your yard look GOOD! Getting the right height of your retaining wall, design, and bricks will help your yard have an attractive appeal to others. Something about these walls entices people to look at them and admire their natural aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding Functional Space<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Though hills and mounds can be beneficial and fun in their own way, having a flat, functional space for you and your family will benefit you in many ways. Your kids will have different and fun adventures, you’ll be able to have different areas for diverse things to do, and you’ll be able to look cool while doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preventing Soil Erosion And Flood Control<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Erosion happens anywhere, but if we can reduce the amount of erosion that occurs I’m all for it. Retaining walls will be able to contain the soil which will, in turn, provide the necessary support to the soil, retaining walls also help reduce the surface runoff by reducing sharper gradients. This reduces the speed at which water travels over the surface and thereby reduces erosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, since retaining walls are sound, elevated structures at a sloped angle, they will help prevent flooding. These walls usually have some sort of drainage system with them, which will then cause the water to run off and prevent flooding from occurring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Structural Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n This is more for areas that have hilly terrain. The retaining walls will keep the soil in place, making it have a sure foundation for your yard and house. So, if you live in an area where the soil tends to rain a lot and degrade the soil, the structural support that is found in a retaining wall would be almost required. This will keep you, your home, and your family safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Risks Of Having A Retaining Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n There aren’t many risks that come with having a retaining wall. The main risk that would come with having a retaining wall would be if it falls. In the occurrence that the retaining wall falls, you will have a pile of spilled earth in your yard. This will then be costly money-wise with landscaping damage and repair costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having this happen, however, is very rare. Those who build these retaining walls have been doing it for a long time, but accidents happen all the time so don’t be shocked if the wall does fall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
