5 WAYS RETAINING WALLS CAN ENHANCE YOUR YARD

Are you looking for ways to enhance your backyard?

Retaining walls are very functional, providing you with numerous opportunities to take advantage of their versatility to enhance your yard. They are a long-term investment that’ll pay back if you ever decide to sell your home. Because who doesn’t love a well-kept backyard? Here are our top five ways to use retaining walls to improve your garden.

1. Add a dash of colour with garden beds
   Grow your own vegetables, herbs, and flowers in raised garden beds. Garden beds are a great feature in any backyard as they help to break up the landscape by providing focal points. Filled with flowers these garden boxes spread out strategically in your backyard can really give your backyard a much-needed touch of colour.
   
   
2. Furnish your outdoor barbecue areas with seating
   Do you have a fire pit or barbecue area in your backyard? Do you always run out of extra seating space when you invite friends and family over for a barbecue? If you’re looking for a low-cost, budget-friendly idea for solving your seating dilemma, then consider using retaining walls to create additional space. Scatter cushions over the installed walls for a more comfortable seating experience.
   
   
3. Create a unique deck and patio
   Tired of having to maintain the wooden deck? Say goodbye to this hassle by using retaining walls to create a unique deck and patio. With so many retaining wall options and the ability to custom order walls that match your existing outdoor theme, you can get as creative as you like!
   
   
4. Boost your home’s curb appeal
   Retaining walls can be used to keep pedestrians off your lawn, and cars from doing damage to the grass. This is especially true around your driveway. Homes that already boast a garden wall that complements the house are more likely to sell faster than homes without walls. This is a little tip that’s worth remembering if you plan to sell your house anytime in the future.
5. Increase the amount of usable land space
   Retaining walls are a fantastic way to increase the usable backyard space. If you have a sloped or slumping hillside area in your backyard, then retaining walls just might be what you’ve been looking for. The retaining wall can be used to keep soil contained helping create additional space for your barbecue entertaining area.
