What is a Retaining Wall

A retaining wall is a hardscape structure that holds back soil laterally. While functional, a retaining wall can provide an aesthetically pleasing structure to your landscape.

Why Add A Retaining Wall

• Keeps Soil in Place – Retaining walls prevent soil from sliding down a sloped property.
• Prevents Erosion – Rainwater can wash away soil from your landscape, but a retaining wall will channel water properly so that erosion doesn’t occur.
• Gives Your Property Depth – Aside from functionality, a retaining wall brings dimension to your landscape. You can use a retaining wall to add beautiful stonework to your property or showcase a colorful garden. 

What is a Seating Wall

A seating wall is a short structure that is built to provide both an aesthetically pleasing border while also adding extra seating space to your yard. Seating walls are commonly built around patios, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens.

Why Add A Seating Wall?

• No Need for Chairs – With a seating wall, your sitting area is built right in. You don’t have to worry about lugging out chairs for your guests when hosting an event.
• No Wasted Space – If you are already adding a wall to your landscape, perhaps to create a border between your lawn and patio, why not give the structure a dual purpose? What started out as a simple border is now an additional seating area for you and your guests.
• No Distractions – Without having to add extra tables and chairs to your space, your yard possesses a sharp, finished look.
