Yard Structure and Erosion Control

Retaining walls are highly effective in maintaining soil stability and preventing soil erosion, especially on slopes. Less erosion also means less landscaping maintenance over time.

Aesthetic Appeal

Retaining walls can significantly enhance the visual appeal of a landscape. With a variety of materials and designs available, retaining walls can be an attractive feature that complements the overall landscaping and architecture of the home.

Flood Management

With Michigan’s heavy rains, retaining walls can help manage water runoff, reducing the likelihood of flooding in your garden or yard.

Increases Property Value

Well-designed and well-built retaining walls can increase the value of your property, as they not only provide improved aesthetics but also better drainage and other functional benefits.

Creates Usable Land

Sloped or hilly terrains can limit the usable space in your yard. Retaining walls can help create flat, usable areas for things like gardens, patios, or playgrounds.

Garden Enhancement & Wildlife Deterrent

Retaining walls can be used to create raised garden beds, which can improve drainage for plants and can make gardening easier due to the raised height. In some cases, they can also protect gardens and plants from wildlife disturbance or predation.
