Benefits of Building a Retaining Wall: Part 1
A retaining wall is so much more than a feature. Yes, we agree it improves the overall aesthetics of your property, however, did you know that a retaining wall can also improve property functionality and longevity.
Retaining walls have been recommended by landscaping professionals (including the Wilson Landscaping team!) in dealing with uneven or sloped properties, providing additional structural support. With the installation of a retaining wall, property owners can level out their landscape and increase its outdoor functionality and appeal.
A retaining wall can also alleviate other issues that you may come across in your garden, particularly with sloped properties. These include soil erosion and flooding issues. Retaining walls can help hold your soil in place, as well as work with current drainage systems to improve water flow and divert excess water from your property.
Our project below in Glen Waverley is a great example of a retaining wall being used to level out a property, hold soil preventing its erosion, and prevent flooding of the property. If you would further information on how a retaining wall could benefit your property, please call the Wilson Landscaping team on 0424 143 922 to discuss.
