Structural Support
As stated before, a retaining wall can keep the soil in your yard in its place. This can be a great help to homeowners whose backyards have small hills as the walls can act as a barrier to prevent the soil from sliding forward in a landslide. By adding a retaining wall in your backyard, you’ll be adding another safety feature in your landscape, ensuring not just the safety of yourself and your home but the safety of your yard as well.
Additional Functional Space for Your Yard
Having hills and mounds in your home is beautiful in its own right. After all, they can emphasize the nature that surrounds your property. However, they can also eat up valuable space in your yard and they can even be difficult to properly landscape. Once again, this is where retaining walls come in as while it may sound hard to believe, a retaining wall can easily add more functional space for your yard, which in turn you can use to add more plants to your yard.
