There are many different ways to make the most of your property in terms of landscaping: better ways to improve upon the layout of the area and distribute the greenery. A particularly useful technique, for example, will be retaining walls, which can be useful in a variety of situations.
Prevent Soil Erosion
Steep and uneven terrain can contribute to the erosion of the soil on the property. After, inclines facilitate the displacement of the soil while making it harder for it to be replenished. This has many different consequences, most of them negative. For example, you will lose fertile soil and be left with much drier dirt that won’t be good for planting. Beyond just your property, this can also lead to the clogging of waterways and affect local biodiversity. Eroded soil can also represent higher risks of flooding. By implementing a retaining wall on the steeper areas of your property, you can prevent soil erosion from taking place and protect the integrity of the terrain.
Create Usable Beds
When working with steep or uneven terrains, you will often find it hard to properly use the terrain in a way that feels practical and looks good at the same time. The best way to take care of that is by implementing retainer walls across your terrain. These will help you even out the area in a way that makes it easier for you to use it for planting. After all, these walls will allow you to even out certain parts of the terrain that you can fill out with soil and use to your liking. Planters created with the help of retainer walls help you make the most out of the terrain you’re working with and can be amazing aesthetic additions to the property.
Decorate Your Landscape
Of course, as previously implied, retainer walls don’t have to be purely practical. A lot of people even end up concerned about having to install these thinking that they’ll become eyesores. On the contrary, though, since these can actually be attractive decorative components of your property. This doesn’t just apply to the flowers and trees that you can plant on the resulting planters, but also to the walls themselves. You can use rock work and brickwork to make these look nice and aesthetically cohesive with the rest of the property. Even if you have to install a retaining wall for the integrity of the structure, use it as an opportunity to make the most of it in aesthetic terms.
