Retaining walls are usually meant to retain soil that may erode, especially from running water. That’s why they are an important part of your irrigation landscape design. Retaining walls also are used to block off areas such as outdoor living spaces. The experts at Piedmont Landscape Management always use best landscaping design practices, which often include retaining walls.
The main reason to consider a wall is to ensure your soil doesn’t erode from rain. The main way you lose soil in your landscape is through erosion. Retaining walls are built to hold the soil without it eroding and can retain the area around your home, keeping it safe from structural damages. Running water can lead to erosion, which is why walls can be a vital part of your irrigation landscape design.
Some people don’t need a retaining wall for soil, but they love the way they look. Retaining walls can be designed for various uses as part of best landscaping design practices. They are used for elevated flower beds and for blocking off specific areas to create enclosed outdoor living spaces. A retaining wall can be used to create a privacy barricade that will make your lawn look fantastic.
