Retaining & Retention Walls

Walls are one of the most important features of any property. You probably have seen some properties that have a terrain that has slopes and some walls on one side and some grass or soft features at the top. This wall that holds the soil away from falling apart is called the retaining or retention wall. It holds back the soil from falling off in the form of a mudslide or landslide.

They are useful features because imagine what would happen if it rains and the soil starts to fall off together with the rainwater, it won’t look great at all and will be a disaster as well. So, this feature is very functional because apart from holding back the soils or terrain, it can also be used to set up a drainage system at the top of the structure, which will direct the flow of water. Apart from that function, the walls give a lovely feature, especially when the wall is along a driveway.

This wall can be lit up by installing LED lights against the walls or right in the base, this will give that beautiful look you want. It is also beautiful when you look out at night and see the walls well lit up with the sloping terrain. I would suggest that you start paying more attention to this feature because it is one of those landscaping features that have a lot of potentials to be used in so many ways.
