Block retaining walls have come a long way in the last two decades. No longer just functional, they can now add eye appeal and beauty to any home landscape design. These days they come in a wide variety of materials and styles, but as ever, it is extremely important to have them properly installed.
Consider the benefits of installing a block retaining wall for your home.
Aside from the design considerations, there are several other factors to consider before installing a block retaining wall. They include:
- Ascertaining property lines
- Obtaining the appropriate building permits
- Avoiding any utility services
- Determining where any runoff water will flow
