A retaining wall is a structure designed and constructed to resist the pressure of soil when there a change in ground elevation. It is used effectively to break up a hill that might not get the “waving” look with its grass as you desired. It’s also an opportunity to plant something other than grass.
Retaining walls can be made from concrete, wood or stone, but obviously the more aesthetic choice would be the stone. Stones could range from large fieldstone to brick to smaller stones. A good foundation and solid planning can make a stone retaining wall last for a hundred years or longer. That’s where it takes the engineering, proper analysis and artistic mind of a landscape company to get the job done right.
