When it comes to backyard expansion for your home, retaining walls are one of the most popular, safe, and effective options. Retaining walls can flatten the base of a sloped garden to increase the usable living space on the property.
Since they laterally support the soil, retaining walls work at multiple levels to retain the soil. This makes them a reliable and safe solution for backyard expansion.
Homeowners are free to use their added space for whatever they desire, which could include patio space, gardens, landscaping, or an entertainment area. However, the benefits of retaining walls are not limited to backyard expansion.
Functionally, a retaining wall on a slope or hillside is used to hold back soil. For this reason it must be built for longevity. However, many homeowners also install a retaining wall as an aesthetic addition to their outdoor living space.
