WHY YOUR GARDEN NEEDS A RETAINING WALL

A retaining wall is designed to be freestanding on the one side, whilst retaining (holding) soil on the other. There are various reasons why a retaining wall might be a necessary structural component in your landscape. Retaining walls are an ideal way to provide more flat usable space on hillside plots or in gardens that have changes in gradient (slope). They are also a great solution when it comes to creating an even lawn or driveway for your property.
