We’ve previously discussed how taking your landscaping from average to exceptional can add substantial curb appeal, not to mention increased value, to your home. This principle also applies to other features that many homeowners dismiss as utilitarian, such as retaining walls. Sure, you can build a highly functional, plain old retaining wall and it will serve its purpose just fine. But if you add some design expertise and creativity, you can have a beautiful feature that integrates into your lifestyle and adds excitement to your property, while still serving that utilitarian purpose. Central Services offers a wide variety of landscaping, hardscape and other services to the Milwaukee and Waukesha areas, providing you with a unique contractor that can not only install utilitarian features, but offer beautiful design along with solid functionality.
By thinking outside the box when it comes to your retaining wall needs, you will find that your retaining wall can integrate into a great multi-use space, and contain built-in features that can add great enjoyment to your outdoor living this summer and for many summers to come.
Retaining walls aren’t required to be perfectly straight. A curve adds interest to a boring straight wall and may be a much more efficient use of space. To plan out how your retaining wall can run through your space, use a garden hose or large rope and set the layout of the curve, giving you a visual idea of how the retaining wall will look.
Think big when it comes to your retaining wall project. Taller walls create a very opulent look for an outdoor space which can separate areas and contain features that increase the enjoyment potential of your outdoor space. Consider a retaining wall that is taller than it needs to be for its utilitarian purpose and you may stumble on a beautiful upgrade to your space. Also, consider terracing when the wall transitions to and from different heights. The talented landscape designers at Central Services can provide you with the information and design examples you need to make an informed decision, and our design expertise can help you design the retaining wall of your dreams.
